OK, nicht die allerältesten (1996 – da war fast meine einzige Anwendung Audio-CDs fürs Auto zu brennen, nicht zufällig damit zusammentreffend, dass CDBurn https://www.hubersn-software.com/cdburn.html noch keinen eigenen ISO9660-Formatter an Bord hatte, aber schon gute Audio-Möglichkeiten), aber ziemlich alt.
