CD-RWs
         
      
      
      
         CD-RWs are re-writeable CDs, CD-Rs can only be written once.
         X-CD-Roast make no difference between CD-Rs and CD-RWs. Note that
         
         
The button "Blank CD-RW" (for example under Duplicate CD -> Write CD) does not make sense for CD-Rs
         
         
         CD-RWs will be written much slower
         
         CD-RWs will mostly not be played by a CD-Player.
         
      
      df
         
      
      
      
         
         df is a text-based front-end to analyse partition settings. We use it especially to find out what partition a folder belongs
         to.
         If, for example df returns the following output:

         It means the following:
         The partion hda5 (/dev/hda5) is the root directory, mounted on /. All sub-directories belong to that partition, except /boot,
         /dev/shm,
         /media/cdrom, and so on. All sub-directories of /boot belong to hda7, all subdirectories of /dev/shm belong to the shmfs and
         so on.
         As you can only use one directory of each partition to save CD images, you could for example use the four directories /tmp,
         /boot/subdir, 
         /windows/C/temp and /windows/D/spiele.
         The command does even more, it shows you that it does not make sense to use a subdirectory of /boot. There is not enough space
         available.
         
      glame
         
      
      
      
         Glame is a graphical program to convert between different audio formats. We use it espacially to adopt settings in .wav-files.
         You can get it from your distribution or from www.glame.de.
         
      
      lame
         
      
      
      
         lame is a text-based front-end to convert between different audio formats. We use it espacially to decode .mp3-files to .wav-files
         to be able
         to write them on a audio-CD.
         You can get it from your distribution or from www.lame.org.
         Type the following to decode myfile.mp3 to myfile.wav: lame --decode myfile.mp3 myfile.wav
         
      
      mpg123
         
      
      
      
         mpg123 is a text-based front-end to convert between different audio formats. We use it espacially to encode .wav-files to
         .mp3-files to save
         valuable space on your hard disc.
         You can get it from your distribution or from www.mpg123.org.
         Type the following to encode myfile.wav to myfile.mp3: mpg123 -w myfile.wav myfile.mp3.
         
      
      Tooltip-help
         
      
      
      
         
         X-CD-Roast provides tooltip (bubble-) help on all screens. Try it! Chose Setup -> CD Settings -> Default write mode and rest
         your cursor 2 seconds over Track-at-Once:
         

         What you get is a perfect explanation what it is for.
         
      
      Verbose mode
         
      
      
      
         
         Image you are admin and want to set X-CD-Roast so that every user has the same configuration status.
         How do you find out what files to manipulate ?
         Imagine you have a very ugly error that you want to track as precise as possible.
         How do you find out what exactly X-CD-Roast did ?
         The answer to both questions is the verbose mode. When activated, X-CD-Roast logs every important task it does. It can be set more 
         or less strict. Activate it by chosing
         Setup -> Miscellaneous -> Log level (and do not forget to "Save Configuration"). Very important for error tracking !
