Got a new PC and it came with a CD-RW drive. I've heard of problems that you can have making CDs and that some software is better than others for avoiding going into "Coaster Production". I'll be doing some simple data backup as well as MP3 and Audio CD. Any suggestions? Remember, cheap is good but free is better! |

Hehe. I generally don't believe there is any one software that does it all the best. For MP3's I use Nero. As simple as it can get. For Data CD's I use Easy CD Creator if it's anything more than dump file X on CD. For making a direct copy of an already existing CD I use CloneCD. |

For simplicity and versatility, Adaptec&Roxio have put out the best software lately. EZ CD Creator 5 I believe is the latest... As for pure burning applications, I like Nero, but I prefer CDRWin. Depenging on what you're doing there's a plethora of tools out there to use. I also seem to user clonecd at times as well as a few other smaller burning tools. ]=) In my old days, I had a larger NEED for this type of stuff... I have long since reformed and not often burn software that requires "special" time... |

If you want to copy a music or data CD or you want to make a CD from a .iso file Adaptec CreatorCD is straightforward. If anyone has figured out how to use Nero to make a proper CD from a .iso file though please speak up, maybe I'm being stoopid but I haven't been able to figure it out. |

Use Burn image then select the .iso file and off you go. |
