arson v0.9.6
Tony Sideris <tonys111@users.sourceforge.net>
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Description
Arson is a KDE frontend to various CD burning, and ripping tools. It
was originally begun to burn audio CDs because i could find no other
frontends which used cdrdao (in disk at once mode), which could decode
various encoded audio formats (mp3, ogg), and displayed accurate track
length as the playlist was created. But as usual once the initial plans
were implemented I just kept going...
* Features
Full progress displayed for all lengthy operations
Drag and drop from Konqueror to create play lists
Audio CD Burning
Accurate track length tally displayed as track list grows
Supports various audio file types, currently:
Wav
Mp3
Ogg Vorbis (optional)
SHN
Can optionally normalize (in batch or mix mode) all tracks before burning to even out volumes
Can open, and optionally verify MD5 disk sets
Data CD Burning
Existing ISO, and CUE/BIN files
Image creation/burning from single directory tree
Complete filesystem creation to come in later versions
ISO images burned with either cdrdao or cdrecord
Audio CD ripping/encoding (rip tracks from CD to file)
Can rip audio tracks using cdda2wav OR cdparanoia
Encoding in various output file formats, currently:
Wav
Mp3 (bladeenc, and LAME supported)
Ogg Vorbis (optional)
AU
CDR
AIFF
AIFC
CdIndex support (a free CDDB-like service)
HTTP retrieval
Freedb support (a free, open CDDB service)
HTTP, and local retrieval
HTTP, and local submit
CD-Text retrieval
Supports generic SCSI and cooked IOCTL interfaces
Auto tagging of MP3 files using id3v2
Configurable audio quality presets (bitrate, channels, etc)
CD-to-CD copying
Direct copy
CD-to-file-to-CD copying
Using either readcd/cdrecord or cdrdao
[S]VCD creation creation and burning
Device unlock/reset
CDRW Blanking
* Requirements
Burning CDs requires a system that has a CDR[W] drive, and/or other CDROM devices properly
setup as specified by the CD-Writing HOWTO (SCSI or SCSI emulation), this document can be
found here:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
Also, this IS just a frontend, so the programs that do the actual work are obviously
required. A full list of these programs can be found in the Programs tab of the
configuration dialog. Which programs are actually required depends on what you plan
on doing with arson. If you are only planning to rip audio tracks, then obviously none
of the burning software is required, and vice versa.
The audio CD ripper should work with any CDROM drive configuration. If you do not have a
SCSI CDROM drive, or an ATAPI CDROM drive configured to use SCSI emulation, then add an
IOCTL device entry in the Devices page of the configuration dialog.
cdda2wav is required for ripping audio tracks. cdda2wav or cdparanoioa can be used to
actually rip the tracks, but cdda2wav is required to do the initial disk scan (it provides
more information about the tracks, and disk, which cdparanoia does not).
cdrdao is required for audio CD copying. readcd/cdrecord can only be used to copy data CDs.
cdrdao is required for audio CD writing, support for writing audio CDs with cdrecord will
come in the future.
Currently arson can only write data CDs by writing a single directory tree, and a data CD
copy. To write a directory tree mkisofs is required in addition to either cdrdao or cdrecord.
Either cdrdao, or readcd/cdrecord is required to do a data CD copy.
