A GTK+ gui for cdrecord and mkisofs aimed at being easy to use for inexeperienced users.

CD-Mason is yet another GUI frontend for cdrecord and mkisofs. It tries to make CD burning on Linux and other POSIX platforms as easy as possible.

It has been designed with novice desktop users in mind (think Aunt Tillie) that dont want to know about burning modes, sector sizes, ISO-9660 images or even the difference between an MP3 and a WAV music file.

All these subtleties should be handled transparently using a simple dragndrop interface.

mp3tocd is simple bash script for burning audio cd from mp3s and oggs. Have fun! - cd into dir with selected mp3s or ogg and just run this script and wait for eject of burned Audio-CD

CD Shell is a scriptable menu system that provides the ability to create interactive multi-boot optical discs. It will make PC-bootable compact discs or DVDs that can select from several program loaders or kernels located on the disc, or boot from other local disk drives that are attached to the system.
This utility is based heavily on concepts pioneered by Bart Lagerweij in his great program Diskem1x. CD Shell provides similar functionality to Diskem1x along with many new original features, such as an advanced scripting language, graphics, and mouse support. It also has the ability to interface with other great programs such as isolinux/memdisk, Ranish Partition Manager, and Memtest86+.
CD Shell is free for non-commercial use. The program and its source code is distributed under the NASM License. The distribution and use of some optional components is restricted by their respective licenses.
Enhancements:
- changed behavior of display.message to interpret a backslash as a single-character quote if not recognized as an escape sequence (suggested by Erwin Veermans of the Ultimate Boot CD project)
- isolinux patches as suggested by Charles Appel of the Ultimage Boot CD project
- patched a bug in isolinux that would display some garbage characters when loading a kernel (just before Ready)
- changed behavior for the display command to not show a splash screen unless isolinux was invoked with an empty command line
- incorporated changes to chooser script
- allow onEscape action when user quits the menu
- allow per-item exececute-on-select commands
- fixed a bug where text in the message window wasnt being updated correctly

RipOff is a GTK+ based CD ripper for Linux (and hopefully for other Unix systems once some testing and fixing have been done) that has a simple interface, CDDB lookups, and a plugin-based encoder architecture.
RipOff CD Ripper attempts to appeal to those users who want a non-GNOME dependent CD ripper with a simple interface, or users who just dont like the interfaces of the other GTK+ CD rippers.
Enhancements:
- Added HTTP_PROXY Functionality
- Fixed a bug where for newer versions of GTK "about" dialogue windows were not closing
- FLAC plugin now supports FLAC 1.1.3
- Added an icon for RipOff
- Miscellaneous code cleanups
