I have used nero in the past and I was pleased with it. But im not sure if it is available to download for free or not. I looked, but didnt see it free on their site, more than a trial.

Im curios to see what ATOT'ers use.

P.s. ill be burning a data cd. No music or dvd's or anything. It is a program.

That may only be because of your "freeware" caveat. Most probably use Nero. Having said that, the easiest answer is the CDR burner built into Windows XP or Vista.

I have never used the one built into xp. . how do you locate it.
 
I think Media Player contains code to burn CDs using the ISAPI burning software built into XP, which is also what all the other programs use. As far as I know there is no stand-alone burning program in XP.

im talking like taking a data cd or a music cd and making a copy of it though, not just storing things on a cd. . . is that what you are referring to?

Im thinking a program like Nero, except a free one.

Ok...windows does not have that built in. ImgBurn, CD Burner XP, and deepburner are all free utilities that can do that. I prefer ImgBurn

thats what i though, i was thrown for a loop when someone mentioned that, couldnt believe after all these years i had never found it haha.

i tried using deepburner and it was pretty slick, i may give the other two a shot as well.
 
I am using a laptop and there is only one optical drive so on-the-fly copying is not an option for me.

I've tried infrarecorder and it failed. I am not sure how it works but it kept saying audio disc not supported. 😕

I didn't have much luck with imgburn either...something about source and destination i just couldn't figure out.


I want a progam that will make an exact (gap, format, tag) copy of the original CD and I am not sure if any of these program is capable of doing it. I am now using CDburn XP. Bascially, I have to select the tracks and add it to the project list. While this gets the tracks on the blank disc I am not sure if it makes the exact copy.

Can anyone help me out here? I guess what I need here is a burning software that will make a complete image (ISO) of the original CD and then burn into a blank disc.

thats what i was looking for. im pretty sure the deepburner mentioned above does this.
 
CD Burn XP has the ability to create an ISO image, if that is what you are looking to do. I've done it a couple of times in the past.

Magic ISO can do that too and much more.
