Simply the best all-around burning software available. this works on Linux (I use Linux Mint v20.3-Xfce) as I suggest setting it up through PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux) with Wine v6.0.1 (x86(32bit) or amd64(64bit) works, but I suggest x86 since it saves a bit of hard drive space).
NOTE: Wine must be set to Windows XP mode for ImgBurn to work as Wine defaults to Windows 7 mode as if you try to start ImgBurn with Wine in Windows 7 mode, ImgBurn will hang at the splash screen and simply won't work!
NOTE: if you are running Wine v5 series or newer (currently Wine v7 series is the newest) for ImgBurn to see your CD/DVD etc burners you have to do the following in ImgBurn... 'Tools > Settings > I/O' and select 'SPTI - Microsoft' and select 'Device Interface' or 'Drive Letter' and now ImgBurn will see your CD/DVD burners and work as expected. but if your using Wine v4 or older, ImgBurn will see your CD/DVD etc burners in it's default ASPI mode (although you can still use SPTI mode if you want to). but I suggest running ImgBurn on Wine v6.0.1 (or at least Wine v6 series) as it works okay with trimmed WAV files (using Audacity or Ocenaudio) for burning a standard audio CD which using Wine v4 series has problems which are related to 'Direct Show' as this does not occur when using Wine v5 or Wine v6 series (which is ultimately why I suggest using Wine v6.0.1 through PlayOnLinux as it does not have a problem). but standard WAV files (I simply convert my standard FLAC files to WAV, using Foobar2000, so ImgBurn can use them) will likely work okay on pretty much any version of Wine.
if your using PlayOnLinux you can setup everything through the GUI (graphic user interface) with the exception of running the initial 'sudo apt install playonlinux' from the terminal, which gets PlayOnLinux installed. so this should be 'easy enough' for someone running Linux to setup.
NOTE: another bonus with ImgBurn is that it actually supports overburning on audio CD's (not all CD/DVD burners will support this but I suspect most probably do as 4 out of the 5 burners I got support overburning audio CD's). so instead of being able to fit 80 minutes on a standard 700MB/80min CD-R, you can probably get about 81 minutes, or almost certainly at least 80min30sec. |
