1. Introduction

Gnometoaster is an attempt to gap a certain lack of intuitive and easy-to-use software within the Linux Community. Although most of the programs available for the Linux Operating System are very powerful,few of them are user-friendly,although with Gtk,Qt etc. developers would have the means to create comfortable user interfaces. Gnometoaster is intended to be a complete CD Creation Suite rather than just a mere front end to cdrecord/cdda2wav,... The way Gnometoaster uses those programs could best be described as accessing device drivers. Gnometoaster tries to achieve as much as possible by itself,relying on itīs "drivers" only when drivers are necessary,e.g. if thereīs more than one way of creating/writing/reading specific data as is the case when reading audiotracks and actually accessing the cd writer because there is no single standard describing how to read audio tracks from cdroms or how to access cd writers. cdda2wav and cdrecord are currently the most common way to access cdwriters and audiotracks and so those programs are used for exactly one purpose: providing hardware support within the Linux environment.
