Default CD Burning software

Eek. The wave file had a audio samplerate of 48k and not 44.1. (16bit and
stereo).
The Roxio version I was using was old - version 5 (came with my Dell).
I installed the latest Nero (v7) and it correct the problem.

So, maybe the latest Roxio works.

My questions is what do the "pros" use or do for this situation?
What app?
Do you convert the file to 44.1k CD format and then burn?


Yes. I'm still using an ancient version of Roxio which won't auto-convert,
so it *has* to be 16-bit 44.1k. Of course, I usually record at 44.1k 24-bit
anyway, so all I need to do is dither down to 16 bits and I'm ready to burn.

I also use Nero Express. I think I've maybe had two bad discs in the couple
of years I've used it. It's annoying that it defaults to having spaces
between the tracks on an audio disc, but I've developed the reflex habit of
clicking the box for "Remove Spaces".

Peace,
Paul
