+K3b Version 1.0
+
+Thanx for downloading K3b - The CD Kreator
+
+These are the features so far:
+ - the most userfriendly interface ever ;-)
+ - themable
+
+ - Media-centric user interface:
+ - Select the medium to use for burning instead of the device
+ - K3b always knows about all optical devices and inserted media and adjusts the UI accordingly
+
+ - writing audio-cds
+ - On-the-fly decoding of many audio formats through plugin struxture
+ (decoding plugins for mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, wave, musepack, wma, aiff, and others)
+ - CD-Text support
+ - Metadata support, fill CD-Text from metadata or via Internet queries (CDDB + Musicbrainz)
+ - little gimmick: hide the first track (so that you have to search back from the
+ beginning of the cd to find it)
+ - volume level normalization (only when writing with an image)
+ - multiple sources for one track possible (merging of tracks, splitting of tracks,
+ adding silence of arbitrary length)
+ - integrated "preview" player
+ - Directly add audio tracks from other CDs and let K3b take care of the rest.
+
+ - writing ISO9660-CDs and DVDs
+ - Joliet/Rockridge support
+ - Udf filestructures (no pure Udf so far)
+ - create image/write image
+ - writing on-the-fly
+ - creating of file-tree via drag'n'drop (as easy as it could be)
+ - removing files and directories from data tree
+ - moving files within the project
+ - adding new empty directories to data tree
+ - renaming of files (manually or automatically for mp3-files) (for joliet and rockrigde)
+ - support for most of the mkisofs-options (I don't think anyone will ever use them! ;-))
+ - multisession support (including importing old sessions and overwriting files from old sessions)
+ Automagically multisession handling: start, continue, or finish multisession CDs and DVDs based on
+ the size of the project and the remaining capacity on the media.
+ - El Torito bootable CD/DVD support
+
+ - writing Video CDs
+ - VCD 1.1, 2.0, SVCD
