In their own words
PyBurn Studio
PyBurn Studio is a free, open-source desktop application for burning and ripping optical discs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Built with Python and PyQt6, it burns data CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs from files and folders, helps arrange disc contents, and can create ISO images. It authors audio CDs from MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, and AAC files; Windows supports gapless Disc-At-Once burning. It can also author video DVDs with ffmpeg and dvdauthor, and Blu-ray BDMV discs with tsMuxeR. For CD ripping, it saves audio as MP3, FLAC, or WAV and can look up metadata through MusicBrainz. A job queue runs one task at a time and provides progress, logs, saved history, and retry options. Data-disc verification can read back a burned disc and compare it with the written image when enabled for the drive. Requirements vary by operating system and task: PyQt6 is required, requests is optional for MusicBrainz lookups, and Blu-ray authoring requires optional tsMuxeR. The project is released under the GNU GPL version 3.
