SimpleCDR-X is a CD writing and mastering software with GTK+ interface. It also provides audio ripping and compression functions.
Without Glade, the team might still have been struggling with the various toolkits instead of having a finished product. The use of Glade allowed the team to focus on functionality instead of trying to perfect the interface with straight C code. SimpleCDR-X, like its predecessor SimpleCDR, is a combination of C and C++. The external utilities are managed by C++ classes, which are called from the hybrid callbacks.c.
The reason the developers chose not to use GTK-- instead of the hybrid is because a majority of people already had GTK+, whereas not everyone had GTK-- or wanted to download a file of 1.5 MB to compile or find the installation CDs.
Here are some of the key features of SimpleCDR X:
-Disc-At-Once CD copying
-Audio CD copying via cdrecord and CDparanoia or cdda2wav
-Audio CD mastering
-MP3/OGG import via MADplay, LAME, or OGG123
-Import from CD via CDparanoia or cdda2wav
-Data CD mastering
-Multi-session CD writing
-Rip tracks to wav
-Rip tracks to MP3/OGG on the fly via Blade Encode, LAME, or oggenc
-GTK+ interface.
Overall, SimpleCDR-X is a software tool that provides a wide range of features and capabilities to its users. The use of Glade has resulted in an interface that is easy to use and navigate, and the combination of C and C++ has made the program efficient and effective. The variety of features available to users makes SimpleCDR-X a reliable tool for audio CD mastering and data CD mastering. The program is recommended for those looking for a comprehensive CD mastering software.
