* Remove files from your project, move files within your project.

* Write data CD's on-the-fly directly without an image file or with image file. It's also possible to just create the image file and write it to CD later.
* Rockridge and Joliet file system support.
* Rename files in your project.
* Let K3b rename all the mp3/ogg files you add to your project to a common format like "artist - title.mp3".
* For advanced users: support for nearly all the mkisofs options.
* Verifying the burned data.
* Support for multiple El-Torito boot images.
