Are there any Nero Burning Softwares for Ubuntu ? The most important is to able burn Mp3 or songs files into the CD/DVD =)

Brasero

Brasero is a simple application to burn, copy and erase CD and DVD media: audio, video or data. To install Brasero in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type:
sudo apt install brasero
Brasero is installed by default with Ubuntu. It has a simple interface, but powerful features.
Some of them:
Data CD/DVD:
- supports edition of discs contents (remove/move/rename files inside directories)
- can burn data CD/DVD on the fly
- automatic filtering for unwanted files (hidden files, broken/recursive symlinks, files not conforming to joliet standard, ...)
- supports multisession
- supports joliet extension
- can write the image to the hard drive
- can check disc file integrity
Audio CD:
- write CD-TEXT information (automatically found thanks to gstreamer)
- supports the edition of CD-TEXT information
- can burn audio CD on the fly
- can use all audio files handled by Gstreamer local installation (ogg, flac, mp3, ...)
- can search for audio files inside dropped folders
- full edition of silences between tracks
CD/DVD copy:
- can copy a CD/DVD to the hard drive
- can copy CD and DVD on the fly
- supports single-session data DVD
- supports any kind of CD
If it's not already in your system, you can install it easily via Software Center, or, via command line with sudo apt-get install brasero.

Brasero does not work here in 2019. – Pointy Feb 14 '19 at 04:52
K3b is my favorite burning application for Linux. K3b's interface would be very familiar to someone with a background in Nero on Windows. I heartily recommend K3b. Click here to install or run the following:
sudo apt-get install k3b
I have had trouble with Brasero making coasters in the past, and its minimal approach to output prevented me from discerning why.

All the CDs I make with k3b show up as "No Disk" in my CD player. It seems like it is making an mp3 cd instead of a music cd. – Mark Deven Oct 14 '20 at 15:55
Default Ubuntu's CD Burning Brasero can utilize that,. it is integrating in nautilus to. try to copy paste your music collection into your mounted blank CD / DVD. and then burn it on nautilus extra menu.

@Wilsonzaizai: If squallbayu or Decio's answer solved your problem, click the one of the checkmarks under the upvote/downvote arrows to let other people know that it solved it :) – Matthew Oct 15 '10 at 21:36
k3b is KDE based, but probably the best CD burning software I've seen to date on linux. Also.. if you really want Nero, they do have/had a linux version. http://www.nero.com/enu/linux4.html

I am using it, actually. It's what I would call a scaled-down version, but it works fine so far. – jfmessier Oct 15 '10 at 17:51
Just do it the Ubuntu way: just drag and drop your playlist (or your audio files) to the empty CD and burn. Done. Never been easier :-)

In case you were looking for a command-line only solution, you can use directly the following:
$ burn -A -a *.mp3
In case you need to install it:
$ sudo apt-get install burn
Usually, the steps to create an audio CD from a set of *.mp3 are usually more complex, so burn is much easier to use (no complex option or heavy UI to start up).
For reference, a more advanced tutorial:
# apt-get install cdrecord ffmpeg normalize-audio libavcodec52
if names of your files contain a space use this command to replace space with _:
$ for f in *; do mv "$f" `echo $f | tr ' ' '_'`; done
Convert all files to wav format, normalize wav and burn:
$ for i in $( ls ); do ffmpeg -i $i $i.wav; done
$ normalize-audio -m *.wav
$ cdrecord -v -fix -eject dev='/dev/scd0' -audio -pad *.wav
