Best CD Burning Software

[GizmoFreak]

I'm looking to pick up some CD burning software. My primary need is quick, easy, and reliable CD dubbing for backups. And Windows XP is lacking in this regard. I used to have Nero a few years ago and it did a good job in this regard. So, what is the best out there right now.

I actually don't need 90% of all the features they seem to cram into CD burning suites these days. Really, CD copying is my primary need. So whichever app does this best is what I want.

Suggestions?

Are you copying music, games, dvd's or what?

Predominantly audio CDs. No games. DVDs would be a nice perk but not absolutely necessary. Isn't it somewhat difficult to quick-copy DVDs now anyway?

Trust me you will love Nero Burning ROM Ultra it has everything you need and it is easy to use...check it out Nero Burning ROM Ultra

Or you can go out and buy Alcohol 120% and for a one time fee you get free programs for life.

The two best burning softwares out are Alcohol 120% and Nero... some people swear by Alcohol because it can copy those copyrighted CD's easier then Nero.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've had good experiences with Nero in the past. It's just their latest Burning ROM Ultra seems to be a little bloated with features I don't need.

 

[Rottie]

it will not be bloated if you opt not to install any features during installation.

So for audio CD backups, is Alcohol 120% the choice over Nero?

Remember that Alcohol 120% is a CD/DVD disc image program only. Don't expect to create compilations or edit existing compilations with it.
