Burning in XP? Best program

[JustStarting]

doing a XP install and wondering what software works best to burn cd's. i currently have adaptec 4.01d, but know that it does not wpork with XP.

Nero is my favorite CD Burning program on any windows OS.

anyone know of any freeware/shareware?? hope i'm not violating any rules asking.

Not anything thats any good 🙂

Unless you wanted to use linux...there's some nice free programs over there.

If you're looking for free CD burning software, XP has it built right in. But I recommend you buy Nero or Easy CD creator 5. Either one will suit your needs better than the integrated XP burner.

true, sad you cannot burn from iso or create bootable cd's with the XP software. It does audio CD's but I have never tried it so I don't know how it would compare to Nero (which I use as well).

Guess it's more reasonable to buy a new cdrw and get nero with it- nero alone costs $40, and a new cdrw would only be another $20. thanks all.

Nero's a great burning suite, EZ CD is pretty decent too. WinOnCD is fantastic, IMHO.

I can't comment on XP's burning stuff, never bothered to use it.

I used to be a big fan of EZCD, but Nero has won me over...I feel it to be more reliable than EZCD.

Same here. I use nero exclusively now.

They had a 40x burner for $20 in the sunday paper. It was at office max

What about Sony CD Extreme right from the source (at least, the Thai source)! 🙂 That makes it legit, right?

You can find a free update to (at least) 2.0.799 states-side.

FWIW, Sony seems to have branded Prassi (now Veritas?) software, which is probably more popular in Europe. The package can hang with Nero when comparing most capabilities.
