Hi Daniel.
I would recommend nero burning ROM for all of your music and back up 
tasks.
I've used nero for over 5 years and found nothing as accessible and easy 
to
use.  There are many others on the list using nero too so you won't be 
stuck
for help and advice.

Regards.
Kevin

Subject: Burning CDs with Windows Media Player


Recently, I was successful in teaching myself to rip music from CDs using
Windows Media Player, which I'm glad to have done even though I intend to
primarily use CDex for this purpose.  Always good to know more than one
way
to do something.
But I'm not having such success learning the burn procedure with WMP,
which
I'd hoped to do in order to avoid having to pay for a commercial
application, considering how seldom I'm bound to use it.
I'm also hoping to be able to use WMP for making backup CDs of data files
periodically, and I'm afraid, from my explorations, that this will be as
confusing with WMP as the music burning function seems)
here's my main question on the music burning procedure:  I understand 
from
the help files instructions that you're supposed to designate the files 
to
be burned by choosing them from the Library and/or playlists.  Now, I
don't
know anything about the, nor do I use playlists to orchestrate my
occasional
PC audio experiences; I just find the track I want to hear in Windows
Explorer, press Enter on it, and WMP plays it.  I don't set up whole
sequences of tracks to play.  So I'm completely out of it about this
Library
and playlist stuff.
I kept tabbing around and hitting Enter now and then, and finally found a
list of all my audio files.  But they're just a long list, not divided
into
the various albums they're in, as they're arranged on my hard drive under
My
Music.
Is this the Library?  All I want to do is burn a CD using all the tracks
from that same CD as I've ripped it.  I don't want to create mixes or any
of
that.  If I still could see better, maybe I'd get into it, the way I once
made mix tapes now and then on cassette.  But I don't really care.  I 
just
want to find the tracks from one CD, load them into whatever list you're
supposed to load them into, hit a Burn button, and made a new CD.

I'm sorry to be so verbose, but not feeling well today and it's hard to
concentrate.  If anyone reading this realizes that I'm just not one of 
the
talented blind computer people who can make sense of this function in 
WMP,
and I ought to buy one of the commercial programs that work more simply,
I'll consider the advice seriously.  I just wanted to give this a try,
since
I was able to figure out the rip function, although I hate all that
tabbing
around to so many controls I have no idea the function of in this 
context.

Thanks.
P.S.  As I say, I'm willing to bite the bullet and buy a program, but I
was
hoping not to have to spend as much as $100 for the new Nero release, and
it
seems the blind-popular Roxio Easy CD Creator has been superseded by Easy
Media Creator 7, and I've tried the relatively simply and accessible
Premier
CD Creator program but had terrible problems with it, problems I believe 
I
described here recently, and the Premier engineers won't get back to me
about these issues (a ghostly Black Sabbath CD permanently loaded into 
the
Audio Brabber function, and the program hanging when I press Burn in the
burn program while accidentally not managing to get any files into the
list.
These are deal-breaker problems.
Anyway, I'm trying.  Help will be appreciated.
