cdrdao & GCDMaster
Cdrdao records audio/data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents (toc-file). Features include full control over length and contents of pre-gaps (pause areas between tracks). Pre-gaps may be completely omitted, e.g. for dividing live recordings into tracks. Control over sub-channel data like catalog numbers, copy, pre-emphasis, 2-/4-channel flags, ISRC code, and index marks are provided as well. GCDMaster is a Gnome GUI front-end that lets you import MP3 and WAV files, select track markers and cut/copy/paste audio snippets before burning.

Recent releases
- 21 Sep 2006 15:52
Changes: This release contains some fixes related to gcc 4.1 compilation issues, as well as a fix for a GCDMaster file insertion bug. It also contains a patch to add device locking under Win32.
- 25 Nov 2005 13:46
Changes: This is mostly a bugfix release that addresses a number of problems with more recent versions of gcc, and several bad bugs that triggered early exits when compiled with optimization flags.
- 13 May 2005 11:16
Changes: This release includes a fix for a potential local root exploit in cdrdao, as well as a number of interesting new features, such as MP3 and OGG support in both cdrdao and GCDMaster, as well as improved CUE support. GCDMaster was upgraded to the gtkmm 2.4 API, and comes with many bugfixes.
- 07 Jun 2004 03:21
Changes: This release features bug and compilation fixes, an upgrade to a newer scsilib library (from cdrtools 2.01a31), as well as some new cdrdao options and features (MMC driver auto-detection, discid command, the --full-burn option). Future releases of gcdmaster will be based on gtkmm 2.4 rather than gtkmm 2.2.
- 13 Feb 2004 14:39
Changes: The main focus of this release is the GTK2/GNOME2 port of gcdmaster, the GNOME CD mastering application which lets you create and edit audio CDs and provides a GUI front-end to cdrdao. This release also provides support for ATAPI devices with DMA support thanks to the latest cdrtools SCSI libraries.

for burnproof, i think you could pass the burnfree option to the driver, so it would be like:

I have been burning 12x for years with my plextor scsi using the cheapest blank cds I can find. Try upping your buffer size or burn a cd using the command line without anything running (especially xwindows) to narrow down your problem scope.
Good Luck,

A must have
I have been using this program for years and is the only program I have ever seen that allows me to make my own table of contents. I love making fake tracks with my 80 minute songs. Thanks a ton for the great program,

downloading and using
I downloaded previously cdrdao as a part of the package vcdeasy, but when choosing to integrate it, I'm getting
problems at the burning stage, where my
cdr's are ignored or detected to be not empty. Trying to use cdrdao separately, I cannot find it on my pc working under WinMe. Trying to download it separately this time
at http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cdrdao/cdrdao-1.1.7.bin.x86.win32.zip?download (I guess I need the win32) results in an empty download showing just the title of the zip file, but no content to be unzipped...
Please let me know why I might not download the program or use it.
Re: fail
Here is the fix to this problem.
As root, run "MAKEDEV sg"
This will recreate the sg devices.
Worked for me under Debian 3.0
