Just a note in hopes it may be helpful to other beginners who want to make
CDs.

I'm an old geezer who doesn't know beans about CD making. First, I had to
learn how to download music. To do that, I asked the experts, and got some
opinions as to programs to use, and techniques.

When it came time to actually burn a CD, I did the same thing. The
consensus was that Nero was the way to go.

Well, I can't tell you all the reasons Nero may be good, but I sure can tell
you it was user friendly to me, in my novice state. I was able to instantly
make CDs, then to copy them.

Other programs may well be this easy too; don't know, I haven't had
experience with 'em.

But, I did want to let anyone know who might be in the "learning" stage, and
hesitant, that I don't think you can go wrong with Nero.

ditto, Nero doesnt burn empty tracks like the software that came with my
CDRW drive did,
Nero converts to 44100 unlike some others.

I don't believe you will find many to disagree with you.
I started with a hp 2x burner($430 and almost 40 min. to burn a cdr)
and Easy CD writer which was barely adequate at the time.
Moved to Nero and use it most of the time since.
Great for files, music cdrs and SVCD movies.
Teac 12x cd burner now only about 1 coaster for
each 200 cdrs(mostly my fault each time)
