Best sofware for making a copy of a CD.

[fdegrove]

Hi,

I have always used Nero, but the audio extraction used to suck (early versions of Nero..3.x.x.x. ) so I gave it up very early. Now I just use Nero for burning. And EAC for ripping the WAV tracks.

I've never understood why this proggy got such rave reviews; it's not intuitive to use at all and it's INCD UDF part invariably crashes Windows 2000 machines whenever CDRW media is changed.

Thank God, W2K is a pretty robust OS...

As far as copying goes, I'm a little surprised nobody mentioned the importance of good media.

I usually opt for Maxell CDs for audio and use either CloneCD or the excellent Plextor software; you need a Plextor drive for the latter.

Make sure to use the best sounding output on your soundcard as well as differences aren't exactly subtle.

Cheers,

It is important to use good media.

I try to use media that has a lighter dye- closer to the original CD.

This is just my opinion through trail and error.

Hey guys

I am currently using Audio-Cds in my stereo ( it has a built in burner ). You cannot tell the difference between the original and the copy. Also, if I burn them on my computer, I just drag the contents of the original cd into the burner drive.
