Thought this would be an interesting question to post. I'm burning an !LEGITMATE! back-up of my WC3 disc and jamming to Junkie XL, while surfing the 'net. Anyone else doing the same?
 
not currently burning one, but i have before... why is this an interesting question to post? lots of people burn cds?
 
As a matter of fact I'M NOT.

I usually leave my computer alone while it's burning... It's a habit I built up with my 4x CDR drive without burn-proof (which I used for years)... So I do it now even with my 48x40x12 liteOn with burn-proof...

Now it only takes around 3 mins to burn a CD anyways, so I dont mind...
 
No but I am glad to see someone else who listens to Junkie XL. Do you also listen to Urban Dance Squad which is where the lead singer comes from?
 
I do everything when burning... that's why you have burn proof anyways. Might as well use what you paid for.
 
I always left it alone when burning until I finally update the firmware. The newer firmware is awesome, the drive is now capable of burn-proof, I've been taking this advantage.
 
Always been doing that, I trust my machine to be fast and stable enough to handle the load. Also been ripping CDs using EAC+LAME while surfing, I think that's more taxing.

i used to leave it alone, but i figured...burnproof...wth....might as well take advantage...im always paranoid that i would get a coaster tho
 
I am not currently doing this, but I do that a couple times a day usually. buffer underrun protection is nice to have sometimes. 😛
 
i have a solid sytem design... I have done all of the following at the same time (Well, as close as possible)....
surfing
chatting
dowloading, both from Kazaa and FTP site
uploading to FTP site
Configured system (IS5.0)

All while burning. And no, i dont have Burn proof.
 
i have done everything while burning. even played unreal tournament..........didnt pay extra money for my plexwriter for nuthin
 
I very rarely get a coaster (once I found the optimal speed for burning) but getting 50 discs for $15, hell I wouldn't care any way!
 
most of my burning happens when i'm about to leave for somewhere (like mp3s or something) so i'm usually doing something completely non-computer related like getting dressed. but i have burnt and surfed in the past.
 
Ever since I downgraded my PC from an Athlon to a Pentium 4, about the only thing I can do while burning a CD is surf the net. 🙁
