Aside from comments made by others, I note this may take a bit of work. 
If K3B doesn't see the media, it's most likely a flaw in K3b, or it may 
be your system isn't recognizing your CD-RW correctly.

With this, I am suspicious it's the latter -- the system isn't 
interacting properly with your CD. However, it's possible WINE isn't up 
to handling the task of multi-CD applications.

What make and model of CD-RW do you have? Could you tell us what 'dmesg' 
says about it?
