+ The files you see on the top-part of &k3b; can be dropped with the mouse to the bottom-widget.
+ Another way is to right-click on a file an select <action>Add to Project</action>. In order to rearrange
+ the order of the audio-tracks you can simply move the tracks with the left mouse-button. The properties
+ of the tracks can be changed by clicking with the &RMB; and choosing <action>Properties</action>.
+ As soon as you like the arrangement of the tracks click on <action>Burn...</action> in the right-bottom
+ corner.

+ <para>
+ When you burn AudioCD from <acronym>MP3</acronym>s or other lossy compressed music, remember that if you encode this CD back to <acronym>MP3</acronym>, you'll get poorer quality regardless the bitrate you use. To check whether AudioCD was burnt from lossy format, try <ulink url="http://true-audio.com/analyzer.project">auCDtect</ulink>.

+ selecting <guilabel>Write CD-Text</guilabel>. The two which are probably most important for you
+ are <guilabel>Title</guilabel> and <guilabel>Performer</guilabel>. As soon as you are content with

+ <title>The &k3b; &DCOP; Interface</title>
+ <para>&k3b; features, like many other &kde; applications as well, a
+ &DCOP; interface which makes it possible to control a part of it's
+ functionality from &eg; a shellscript.</para>
+ <para>To use these &DCOP; functions you can either use the
+ <command>dcop</command> commandline program or the more convenient
+ <application>Kdcop</application> application. Both provide the same
+ functionality so it's mostly a matter of taste and context of usage when
+ deciding which way to choose.</para>
+ <para>This chapter assumes that you're using the <command>dcop</command>
+ commandline program. To access &k3b;'s &DCOP; functions, make sure that
+ &k3b; is started and then enter something like this at a console:
+<screen>
+<prompt>#</prompt> <command>dcop</command> <option>k3b</option> <option>K3bInterface</option> <replaceable>[function]</replaceable>
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>Besides the generic &DCOP; functions available to all &kde;
+applications, &k3b;'s DCOP interface mainly consists of two parts as described below.</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>The default K3bInterface</title>
+
+<para>The default K3b DCOP interface provides functionality like copyCD, formatDVD, and methods for creating new projects.</para>

+void burnCdImage(KURL url)
+void burnDvdImage(KURL url)
+</programlisting>
+
+<para>As result from one of the createXXXProject methods one gets a DCOP reference to the newly created project:
+
+<programlisting>DCOPRef(k3b,K3bProject-0)</programlisting>
+
+Alternatively you may create a project using the command line:
+
+<screen>
+<prompt>#</prompt> <command>k3b</command> <replaceable>--audiocd</replaceable>
+</screen>
+
+and then retrieve a reference to this project with
+
+<screen>
+<prompt>#</prompt> <command>dcop</command> <option>k3b</option> <option>K3bInterface</option> <replaceable>currentProject</replaceable>
+</screen>
+
+Using this reference it is possible to manipulate the project using the <link linkend="k3bprojectinterface">K3bProjectInterface</link>.</para>

+void setVolumeID(QString id)
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>Using this it is possible to fill a data project with files and folders from a script.
+The following script for example creates a new data project, adds several folders to the project, and adds files to the newly created folders:
+
+<programlisting>
+#!/bin/bash
+PROJECT=$(dcop k3b K3bInterface createDataCDProject)
+dcop $PROJECT createFolder test
+dcop $PROJECT createFolder foo
+dcop $PROJECT createFolder bar /foo
+dcop $PROJECT addUrl /home/trueg/somefile.txt /foo/bar
