Harry,

I will have to say that I agree on your views about NERO. I have been using it for years and it just keeps getting better. I have about 15 different burning programs, most of which never got used after the initial install and tryout. Nero has enough features that there are few others that will compare to it. A few of the others that I have found decent are Alcohol 120%, VSO's Suite (BlindWrite mostly), Toast, and Easy CD Creator suite to some extent, but I only use them for specific tasks for which they are well suited. I almost use Nero 6.6 exclusively for the majority of burning tasks. It is the most consistent that I have found to date and less buggy than most. Why mess with success.
