Hi all,

I recall that there were issues surrounding the last revission of Burnaware
premium and accessibility.  Have these been resolved in a later release?  If 
not, what do folk use for cd creation?

Thanks,

Welcome to the Pc-audio@pc-audio.org mailing list! Welcome to the
pc-audio group. Please take a moment to review this message. You
should save it for later reference, as it contains important
information about this group, such as your password, how to change
your preferences, and a few basic rules of conduct we expect all
members to observe.

Attention!  Do NOT send a test message to the list or you will not be
subscribed very long! 

Guidelines.

PC-audio is a list for the discussion of any PC audio related topic
such as PC audio software like sound editors, audio players and audio
formats; and hardware like sound cards, CD and DVD devices and so on.

While the subject matter is wide ranging, this is not a forum for the
discussion of non-pc-audio matters. There are many other lists for
political or other discussions.

There are also some PC audio related topics which are specifically
excluded from the allowable topics.  The explicitly prohibited topics
include: 

* requests for songs or other audio files * promotion of audio streams
except for occasional announcements of special events * advertising
audio products and service Willfully posting an off-topic message is
strictly prohibited. While it may be considered that one or two
messages that are off topic can't hurt, if everyone on a large list
like this took that approach, we would quickly descend into chaos.
Asking for replies to be sent privately makes no difference.

Some examples of off-topic messages include:

* Virus alerts * Jokes and humor * Advertising items for sale * Test
messages * Non-audio software and hardware

Vulgar language, name calling and other types of flames are strictly
prohibited.

Sometimes a message thread starts with a clearly defined purpose, but
as the discussion develops the subject matter can change. If this
happens, you should take the initiative and change the subject line to
better reflect the subject matter of the thread.

Some people pay by time or volume when they use the Internet. For this
reason, please take care when quoting messages that you're replying
to.

Ideally, keep just enough of the previous message to remind
subscribers about the message to which you're replying, and no more.
Otherwise, one quickly finds a few lines of new text at the beginning
of a message followed by screen after screen of old messages.

If you believe that any of these rules are not being followed, do not
raise this as an issue on the list. Write to the group owner at
pc-audio-ow...@pc-audio.org and express your concern. If you raise
these matters on the group itself, it will generate considerable
off-topic traffic and bad feeling. There is only one moderator. Please
do not post messages asking that a thread stop or accusing someone on
the list of being off topic.

The moderator of the list has the right to remove or restrict anyone
from being able to post to the group as a result of not adhering to
the stated rules.

If you disagree with any of these rules, please unsubscribe now by
sending a message to pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org If you do not
unsubscribe, this is taken as an acceptance by you that you will abide
by the rules as outlined.

Jamcast is an interesting concept, not only can you capture sources from your 
PC and stream them using DLNA, you can stream external services such as 
Radiotunes.

Also note that Windows Media Player will stream directly to a DLNA device.
