Hi!

I've been using CDRwin for as long as I can remember, but I recently upgraded to a windows 7 computer, and I can't seem to get the aspi system to work... Anyone had any luck with that?

Anyway, what kind of CD burning software is good these days? I need to burn CDs from a cue-file...

Thanks,
Colargol

CDBurnXP in Windows 7

+1 on cdburnxp -- for me, it does everything that nero express did for me (including burning audio cds from cue sheets -- see http://cdburnerxp.se/help/audio/compileaudio), but is really free. I've been running it without any issue (and burning flac files directly to audio cds) under windows 7 x64

And another, CDBurnerXP on Win7 64bit. Easy, reliable, genuinely free, not bloatware.

I'm surprised more folks dont use Nero

I have been using it for about 10 years now, and it is ROCK FUCKING SOLID

I used Nero years and years and years ago. I bailed on it when it they butchered the UI and it became bloatware, and realized CDBurnerXP was free, small footprint/resource, with a UI I preferred.

Former Nero user, now happy with CDburnXP

Hmmm, kept getting font errors when I just tried to DL/Install CDBurnerXP

I gave up on nero when it started scrambling the order of correctly numbered tracks, so that if not arranged manually it would burn a disc with track 15 before track 08 etc. You could always drag and drop them into the correct order, but it wouldn't arrange them correctly on it's own. A couple of other problems I had with it were that it would not have a default setting for slower burn times (4x 8x, etc, but would default to the max) and it also sent out advertisements to upgrade to a full version at extra cost. I have been happy with CDXP which does all the stuff above correctly with no problems.

CDRWIN was such a great program!

I tried CDBurnerXP a few years ago and could not, for the life of me, get it to burn a disc without 2 second gaps between songs even in a supposed DAO mode. Needless to say, I uninstalled it and haven't gone back to it since. Was this an issue that has since been rectified or did I have a wonky version?

I'm with you, Bean, on the older versions of Nero Express as it did everything I could ask for and rarely had a hiccup. But after version 7 it turned to shit, IMHO, and that reliable version won't work with Win7.

Brian Skalinder · « **Reply #16 on:** January 04, 2012, 02:05:53 PM »

FCB -- I've used CDBurnerXP for ~5-6 years and have never experienced the 2-sec gap problem. That said, I probably stopped burning audio CDs a few years ago, so perhaps the problem existed and I just never saw it.

For the few times I still burn audio CDs (usually for friends) I use Feurio; which has served me well for over a dozen years from 1.22 to the current 1.68. It is currently installed on my DAW running XP and that box never goes online. When in Linux (my internet box) I use whatever the default program is and have had no issues with it. That said I've never tried burning from a cue sheet in Linux so don't know if it even has that capability.

< eta Feurio handles cue sheets flawlessly >

I use ImgBurn primarily because it supports autoloaders such as my Acronova Nimbie. Yes, I still burn quite a few CDs because my clients still want them.

ImgBurn works well for burning one CD at a time also. ImgBurn also uses CUE files, which is a plus in my opinion.

I've used Nero 7 and I thought it worked just fine. Tried Nero 10 and found that they had "improved" it beyond usefulness. Talk about feature creep.

CDBurnXP does gapless burning. It's an option along with burn speed in the dialog.

surprised no one has mentioned burrrn

http://www.burrrn.net/?page_id=4

it's free, works on all windows, built in decoder so no need to convert flac, mp3 etc. very small footprint and again it's free.

colargol · « **Reply #25 on:** January 06, 2012, 09:24:55 AM »

Thanks for all suggestions, nice to get so much information without having to surf the entire web...

I have tried CDBurnerXP, it seems fine for my purpose :-)
