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.
