Sad to read.

If burning DVDs (yes I still have such burner), then I use cdrecord (from original cdrtools)… I don’t have a blu-ray burner, but if I did, I would use cdrtools as well. At some point I used mkisofs with some frequency, and before discovering abcde (cdparanoia behind the scenes), my 1st step when ripping music, was with cdda2wav… What I know from him is cdrtools, which is great SW IMHO.
