CD Burning Software.

Apr 3, 2005 11:32PM PDT

Over the years I have used OEM versions of Nero Burning Rom which came packaged with the optical drives which I used in building various pc's. However it appears that, to upgrade to a newer version, payment is required, and I do not possess a Mastercard or equivalent to pay online. I know there are trial versions of burning software available, but are there any totally free applications which are reliable and adware free? I would add that I am not a skinflint, and pay for sofware which allows me to use an Australian Bankcard online!

The price is right. And ...

It's what I use.

(NT) (NT) Windows Media Player 10 should do, Bob, I suppose.

WMP 10 can't copy CDs, read/write ISOs and more.

In fact, WMP 10 is just a bad idea.
