Burn CDs in the Commandline with Bashburn

Sick of all those fancy CD-burning apps not working for you? You need something that just gets the work done? Welcome to BashBurn – It just works!

BashBurn is a collection of scripts for CD burning in a Linux console (BashBurn might very well work in *BSD, Solaris etc. but it is developed and tested only under Gentoo Linux). BashBurn was previously named Magma. It’s not the best looking CD-burning application out there, but it does what you want it to do (And if not then probably didn’t want to do it anyway).

You might not need all of these applications for BashBurn to do what you need it to do. If you are unsure, it’s best to install them all however. Most of these can be found in most distribution’s repo’s. Links provided just in case they are not.
