Here's an interesting thing :) I use whatever is built into Win XP... I have used Nero, Easy cD creator, and a couple of others that I downloaded...all made there fair share of coasters and corrupted CDs..... The Win XP software has performed flawlessly....believe it or not...no coasters since February, no corrupted CDs, and they all work on all of my systems. I believe the Win XP software is Roxio...not sure....but why it works great like this, and the normal retail or packaged products don't, is beyond me
