[[Audio::cd-burning]]

Cdrtools: !!!WARNING!!!! This download probably has serious licence issues. For saver options look at the details tab. cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs with a CDR/CDRW recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications. It supports CD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc- and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD writers.

Gnome Toaster: Gnometoaster is a full CD creation suite for X11 and GNOME. It can copy and create data, audio, and mixed mode CDs on the fly or with precaching in both TAO and DAO mode. The built-in file manager easily creates data tracks. GNOME drag-and-drop is supported throughout the program. Gnometoaster can also write MP3 files on the fly, is fully multisession capable, and can encode all sorts of filetypes directly from audio tracks on a CD.

GnomeBaker is a CD/DVD burning application for the Gnome desktop. It can:

Create audio cds from existing wavs, mp3, flac and oggs
Import M3u and pls audio playlists.
Create data cds
Blank rewritable disks
Copy data cds
Copy audio cds
Burn existing cd iso images
Can burn via scsi and atapi on linux kernels 2.4 and 2.6. Basically if cdrecord works then GnomeBaker will work.
Drag and drop to create data cds (including DnD to and from nautilus)
Integrate with gconf for storage of application settings
Burn DVDs.
Supports multisession burning
Blank/Format DVDs
Burn Cue/Bin files
Burn data cds on the fly

ISO Master: ISO Master is a graphical editor for ISO images with support for ISO9660, RockRidge, and Joliet file names. It is useful for extracting, deleting, or adding files and directories to or from an ISO image. It is based on the bkisofs and GTK2 libraries.

K3b: 'K3b' is a CD and DVD burning application for GNU/Linux systems optimized for KDE. It provides a comfortable user interface to perform most CD/DVD burning tasks, such as creating an audio CD from a set of audio files or copying a CD. While the experienced user can influence all steps of the burning process, the beginner may find comfort in the automatic settings and the reasonable defaults which allow a quick start. The actual burning is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs.

MkTOC: MkTOC simplifies the steps needed to create audio CD TOC files for the cdrdao CD burning program. For users familiar with ExactAudioCopy or CdrWin, TOC files are synonymous with CUE sheets. The primary goal of MkTOC is to create TOC files using a previously generated CUE sheet.

Mp3cd: 'mp3cd' normalizes and burns MP3, OGG, and WAV files to audio CDs, implementing the suggested conversion, sanitization, and burning method outlined in the GNU/Linux MP3 CD Burning mini-HOWTO.

Mp3check: 'mp3check' is a script that checks directories and subdirectories of MP3s to verify that they are in an ideal form for burning to an ISO9660 filesystem. It checks ID3 tags, filename length, whether there are strange characters, whether the MP3s start with a two digit number, etc., and autocorrects problems on request. It's particularly useful for building CDs for car players.

Mybashburn: MyBashBurn can burn data Cd's, music Cd's, multisession Cd's. It can burn and create ISO files. It can burn bin/cue files, create mp3s, oggs and flac files. Supports burning DVD-images and data DVDs, and other funny options. Also makes use of advanced and extensive regular expressions for the control of the capabilities of backend applications to burn and create audio files. MyBashBurn depends on cdrecord and other backend applications, so basically if your writing device works with it, MyBashBurn will work flawlessly. mybashburn basically, it is no more than a Terminal User Interface (TUI) frontend based of the CD burning shell script called BashBurn for GNU/Linux; this originally does not have the best eye-candy CD-burning UI, nevertheless, MyBashBurn uses dialog boxes/functions which draws (using ncurses) windows onto the screen. MyBashBurn dialog boxes offer good functionality, and has very good capabilities of automatically finding dependencies and auto detecting devices CD/DVD RW. In short, do not reinvent the wheel - just let MyBashBurn do what you want it to do.

Phaser (CD burning): Phaser was written to make CD burning under GNU/Linux a lot easier when done from the console. The program asks a series of questions, and uses the answers to set up devices, create images, and burn them to CD. Phaser uses the cdrecord package to do the real work.

Pragha is is a lightweight GTK+ music manager that aims to be fast, bloat-free, and light on memory consumption. Some of the features are:

Python-Musicbrainz2: python-musicbrainz2 provides simple, object oriented access to the MusicBrainz web service. It is useful for applications like CD rippers, taggers, media players, and other tools that need music metadata.

Shn2make: 'shn2make' works with shn audio files and the make program to automate burning CD-Rs and encoding mp3 and ogg files. It looks for an .nfo or .txt file, attempts to interpret the song names, CD listing (and other things according to the most common .nfo file formats), checks MD5 checksums, and, if everything makes sense, outputs the text of a Makefile. The output Makefile fully automates the processing of the set of shn files.

Silicon Empire: Silicon Empire can burn and copy optical discs with help of the cdrtools engine. Because the disc burner of the Silicon Empire builds on the low level layers, Silicon Empire can manage and queue overlapping burn or copy processes.

WebCDwriter: webCDwriter can be used to make the CD- and DVD-writer(s) connected to a GNU/Linux box available to all users in your network. It consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the CD-writer using cdrecord. webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs within your browser or by Java Web Start, assists you when putting together a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line client that tries to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the network with full multi-user support.

X-CD-Roast: X-CD-Roast is a program-package dedicated to easy CD creation under most Unix-platforms. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", and "mkisofs" into a nice graphical user interface. The package copies most data/mixed-mode/audio CDs, masters data CDs, and rearranges and creates audio CDs (among other features). It has been translated into 23 languages.

XMFFMPEG: XMFFMPEG- it'a GUI for ffmpeg programmed in tcl/tk. You can encode from your dvd drive to mp4g4/xvid, snow, mpeg1, DVd, PVCd, PDVD.etc. It includes a matrix editor.
