K3B

K3b Version 18.04.0

Thanx for downloading K3b - The CD Kreator

These are the features so far:

• the most userfriendly interface ever ;-)

  • themable

• Media-centric user interface:

  • Select the medium to use for burning instead of the device
  • K3b always knows about all optical devices and inserted media and adjusts the UI accordingly

    (decoding plugins for mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wave, musepack, wma, aiff, and others)
  • CD-Text support
  • Metadata support, fill CD-Text from metadata or via Internet queries (CDDB + Musicbrainz)
  • little gimmick: hide the first track (so that you have to search back from the
    beginning of the cd to find it)
  • volume level normalization (only when writing with an image)
  • multiple sources for one track possible (merging of tracks, splitting of tracks,
    adding silence of arbitrary length)
  • integrated "preview" player
  • Directly add audio tracks from other CDs and let K3b take care of the rest.

  • support for most of the mkisofs-options (I don't think anyone will ever use them! ;-))
