Recent releases
- 21 Aug 2008 17:25
Changes: This is a small update release to merge in all patches received in past years and to be compatible again with the current version of cdrtools.
- 30 Oct 2003 14:07
Changes: This is mainly a maintainance release. All available patches have been merged, and there were a lot of additional bug and security fixes. This release adds optional GTK 2 support, some translations have been added, and most others have been updated.
- 30 May 2003 03:24
Changes: This version features full drag and drop support (both within X-CD-Roast and from external filemanagers), a completely rewritten non-root mode which does not require any special group or a change of mode on the cdrtools. Scanning for devices is no longer done at each startup and support for remote SCSI (networked devices) and Linux 2.5.x device types was added. On- the-fly copy of audio CDs is now possible and window positions and sizes are saved on request. The DVD support was improved and all common types (DVD-R/ RW and DVD+R/RW) should work.
- 02 Jan 2003 07:27
Changes: This release fixes the multisession and on-the-fly writing bugs introduced with 0.98alpha12.
- 23 Dec 2002 11:05
Changes: This is mainly a bugfix release, but introduces also some experimental code. The most visible change is the direct support of the ATAPI interface on Linux 2.4.x kernels, which makes SCSI emulation optional. The ProDVD support code is completely rewritten and proxy authentication is supported for CDDB lookups. The man page describes now a multiple parallel writer setup, and the instructions for MacOSX have been improved.

Recent commentsVery nice, but...
... if it support the ripping (Audio CD -> mp3) and mp3 to audio CD functions in the future, this will be perfect!!!
Thanks for the GTK2 interface. Great peace of software!
this has to be the best
gnu license, rpm install, best little cd burning front end around.
tried a few from here, this one wins hands-down
Not too shabby
I was mostly quite impressed with this program. It was the first CD writing software I tried and compares well to the Windows programs I have seen.
Despite opinions common on IRC I found the program to be very stable and did everything that I wanted, not killing a single CD.
The only thing that made me seek another program was the inability to burn an audio CD from MP3's, and creation of audio CD's from .wav files proved difficult to figure out.
Nice!
Very nice application. I've looked at quite a few in the search for the perfect Linux CD-writing software. This one has few external requirements, really just GTK+, and the author did an excellent job making the layouts look good. Plus, this program does pretty much everything I want to do, and has an elegant interface for doing them.
Also, the handling of user permissions is excellent, as is the description of how to set things up properly.
