@Burner_Prince

I fear you're gonna have to try that out, since I have no means of testing it. Don't have appropriate test files available here.

No problem, I will do. I do all audio tasks using CD-Text via CUE-sheet. Nowadays I use EAC in combination with Burrrn.

@Lesmo16: Do you have a suggestion how to make ISO creation more comfortable?

Call it a project, and show "** Project: Write ISO-Image" from start on among the other project types. Within the project you can decide as usual, but the burner dialog will be skipped. The file naming dialog will be shown. That's one step less.

It would be good to have the possibility of ripping a CD directly to an ISO image.

If you mean a raw sector-copy, that's currently not possible. A file-copy ISO image can be created by choosing the Image Writer as burning device in the Burn Settings.

What I would appreciate is a simple CD-to-CD copy like in Nero.

The programs asks to insert the source disk, creates an ISO file, asks to insert the recordable disk, burns it, and last automatically deletes the ISO file.

I think it is simple to program, it saves a lot of time and prevents mistakes when one needs to copy many disks.

I could do that for Data CDs/DVDs, but not for generic media types, since the SDK I use has no function to perform a raw sector-copy of a disc. Hopefully that will be added later, I could use it myself, so I'll put it on the wish list for now.

Except... is there something I could incorporate to create an ISO image of any medium type? Then a disc-to-disc-copy should work.

Another feature request: simulation of recording to see if everything is gonna be OK.

How could I set the amount of time between 2 tracks in an audio CD (usually 2 seconds, but I would like to have 0 seconds, i.e. no interruption between 2 tracks)?

This is actually on the todo list (last topic) http://www.tiasoft.de/tcburner/todo.htm
BTW: If the CUE handling will work, gaps can be perfectly managed with CUE sheets!

Did you really ever used this feature with any previous burning app?

Okay, I'll put that on ToDo. I know the SDK has that feature, but I'm not sure if it works properly meanwhile. Last time I coded something with that, it still had quite some bugs.

CUE burning should work okay in the 0.9.2, my tests were quite successful so far.

Though I tested only a data CD image, hopefully it works too with audio images. What I could test and works okay is an ISO image for a Video DVD.

Thanks for v0.9.2

, could you add the possibility to use an external ASPI driver to a future version ?, thanks.

Ah yep, thanks for reminding me. Just put that on ToDo.

Hello,

That looks like a really cool and practical plugin. I'll might try to use it next time I need to burn a CD.

Perhaps I am missing something, but I can't delete an audio track I added to a normal Audio CD project. I "copied" a normal MP3 file into the Audio CD project folder, then try to delete it - either with del or also with shift+del -, TC asks me whether I really want to delete this file but then says "access denied on file ...".

Regards,
Sym
