Actually, I think the latest versions of XCDRoast (at least the version I
got), include cdrecord and mkisofs, although they are in a nonstandard
place.
One other caveat to avoid making coasters... Although XCDRoast rips through
data CDs with no problem when I set my record speed at maximum ('I need FULL
POWER NOW, Mr. Scott!'), when burning mixed mode or audio CDs, you may want
to throttle back the record speed to half or less of the speed your burner
is rated at.
Other than that, I agree that XCDRoast does indeed seem to outperform Easy
CD Creator.
Enjoy!
