Thanx for the heads up Luke.

This to me is indeed crappy news as I feel gcdmaster is a powerful
tool for artists to create audio CDs. If you haven't tried it, you
must.

What other app has the same functionality?

Should we at least start a new effort? "GTKCDmaster"? Maybe we start a
project to make a replacement app? Start off by going through its UI
noting what works/doesnt. I'm sure we can get a good plan going. We'd
just need a coder.

Thoughts?
