Command line CD-R mastering
cdrtools is an open source cd mastering and burning framework which is available for most Unix OS and also for windows.
Because of it's cross platform base and it's non consumer focus, there is no other tools that has the premastering capabilities that it posseses. As a result of this, many X11 based frontends have bene built to harness it's power and it forms the heart of some excellent solutions including the windows based bcd tool made by Bart Lagerweij .
cdrtools is however a bit fiddly to get working on OS X.2. The following instructions simplify this
