K3b

K3b Version 18.04.0

Thanx for downloading K3b - The CD Kreator

These are the features so far:

  • Select the medium to use for burning instead of the device

  • 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.
