EZ CD or Nero

[CAT5]

what do you prefer to back up your data and mp3?

[downhill]

Sometimes I use XPs own burning proggie..sometimes Nero and sometimes DiscJuggler...

I quit using EZ when I switched OS's to XP.

Its all depend on ur taste... but if u gonna install ez cd u have to get the new driver for the xp or else it gonna mess up ur comp (like i did at first) :) EZ CD have nice GUI and easy to use (in my opion) less option but hey its all depend ... both of them r good.. :)

Also I have another HD in the Oven to backup whatever I really think is vital to keep.

I used to use EZ, but now I like nero:)

Nero

It is personal peference but most people use Nero. There are too many horror stories with EZ.

I WOULD use Nero if it didn't insist on freezing 50% of the time I try to use it. The system will keep going fine but Nero hangs and refuses to shut down (even with application manager). Only way to proceed is to manually reboot my system and run through the whole scandisc procedure. It bites.

So I'm getting used to EZCD again:rolleyes:

Easy CD Creator is great for making data or music CDs quickly, but Nero is more a program for "advanced" burning and for control freaks; hence, I love Nero the bestest.

EZ imo is better .

Data, I use XP engine, and music i use Playcenter 3, that came with my audigy.:D

Nero is a culture shock to people who've become accustomed to Easy CD Creator...it's definitely more diversified in terms of what kind of CDs you can burn with it, but the Roxio route should be followed by people who want hassle-free burning.

EDIT: "Hassle-free burning"...all driver issues aside, of course! :D

I use Nero for my mp3's and the built in burner in xp for my files and progs :D

I use a Dos app I got from a link on This Page (http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/)

Now all my CD's are bootable, and autostart. Plus I haven't had one bad burn with it yet.

Norm, ummm
thanks again!
I have just glanced that page and I saw a few good takers. click download. click download. I'll give them a try.
You always come through with the good dos progs... :)

I hated Roxio CD Creator. It seemed nice & easy but my audio CD's weren't playing in regular CD players or when they did, they would play all the tracks as one big track even though when I used the disc in the PC all the tracks would show up. I tried different brand CD-R's and tried finalized/not finalized discs & downloaded all the fixes and they still would only play on the PC properly. Then I gave up on it after a few days fustration and several wasted CD-R's.. If a program needs to be screwed with, just to work correctly, I'd much rather choose the program that works properly at the default settings.

I switched BACK to Nero 5.5, that came with my burner and I've been happy since. Never a bad burn. Audio CD's play without any problems.
