Mad Dog Brand?

sounds like it's probably a rebranded OEM drive... if possible try and find out who initially manufactured the device
 
I have a Maddog 56X CD-ROM drive and it's nothing spectacular. It's not very fast and extremely loud. I would stick with A-Open or Lite-on.
 
Did it come with Nero version 5? Looked at a box for $10 after rebates at office Max. I just bought a liteon but it seems to only come with Nero Express which is missing MP3 to audio CD conversions.

you mean the other way around...

but yeah mad dog is pretty low-grade IMO, not to mention the bad rebate reputation

i was glad when OMAX replaced my mad-dog DVD with a pacific digital. it was a ultima but oh well
 
"you mean the other way around.."

Not sure what you mean . U mean Liteon comes with Nero 5 and Mad Dog with Express?

i meant "Nero Express which is missing MP3 to audio CD conversions"

doesn't any cd-burning software let you burn audio cd? maybe i'm wrong

and i don't think we qualify for nero 6 upgrades
 
Nero Express does let you convert MP3 to audio cd AFAIK. It's there so you can burn MP3 files to a regular audio CD.

OK, I will go back and double check. It is on a drive I installed at a coworkers puter at the office. Its been a few days now and I don't remember the exact sequence I followed, but I got the impression that it could burn Audio CD format to Audio CD format but that it directed me to a $plug in$ to convert MP3s to Audio CDs. I hope I am wrong!
It is pretty confusing with all the bundled versions. I thought Liteon came with a full version but this one just came with Express ( From Circuit City.. $15 after rebate)

The two Buslink drives I bought had full copies of Nero 5.5. I can see why they'd put only Express in there.
 
Whoops... I feel so dumb. I went back to see my coworker for a second pass and it did the conversion to Audio CD fine. I think his problem was just trying to burn to a CDRW that was incompatible with his player. I just got confused from something I read in the help file.

Thanks for all the help everybody.
