Welcome to webCDwriter

screenshot

webCDwriter can be used to make the CD- and DVD-writer(s) connected to a Linux box available to all users in your network. It consists of the server CDWserver and the clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the CD-writer using cdrecord. webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs within your browser, assists you when putting together a CD and transmits the files. Try it!
Finally rcdrecord is a command line client that tries to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the network (not complete yet). In addition to this there are several extensions like using MP3s for audio CDs and adding files to a data CD made easy by the command files2cd.
