MyBashBurn is the version/fork stemming from the CD burning shell script called BashBurn for Linux; this originally does not have the best eye-candy CD-burning UI, nevertheless, MyBashBurn uses dialog boxes/functions which draws (using ncurses) windows onto the screen. MyBashBurn dialog boxes offer good functionality, and has very good capabilities of automatically finding dependencies and auto detecting devices CD/DVD RW. In short, do not reinvent the wheel - just let MyBashBurn do what you want it to do.

MyBashBurn can burn data Cd's, music Cd's, multisession Cd's. The project can burn and create ISO files. It can burn bin/cue files, create mp3s, oggs and flac files. Supports burning DVD-images and data DVDs, and other funny options. MyBashBurn depends on cdrecord and other back end applications, so basically if your writing device works with it, MyBashBurn will work flawlessly.

MyBashBurn was born from a thought of how to create an alternative to the User Interface (UI) of the classic BashBurn created by Anders Lind�n and others. MyBashBurn also makes use of advanced and extensive regular expressions for the control of the capabilities of back end applications to burn and create audio files.

Developer comments

My first code fix I sent to BashBurn 1.4 (2004) was applied, and there were more bug fixes and some proposed enhancement from my side to this project, it was good. Later I started more mature work, I announced in 2005-07-09 a New BashBurn UI, planning that I could separate the UI code from Bashburn and switch between Classic UI and Dialog UI. For a lot of people this seemed a very good idea; nevertheless, for the BashBurn authors they thought the spirit of main project would be damaged, they didn't have enough time for applying proposed sources or didn't want to apply the changes.

I decided to make a BashBurn branch, and a new project named MyBashBurn was started in November 2006 from BashBurn SVN 1.8.0.20051110 and only have a dialog box with some options to demonstrate the intention of this project.
