Nero Alternatives

[Chewy]

we all know imgburn and iso's for dvd video and build mode for data
dvd's, cd's.

what's an alternative for burning music cd's from mp3's, including the conversion over to cda/wave

[UncasMS]

CD Burner XP Pro is a nice freeware worth testing

Record Now 9 incorporated in Roxio EMC 9 was superb. I haven't got a coaster since I started using it. I used quality blanks such as Ritek and Taiyo Yuden though. Not sure about lower end discs if how it performs.

Another good and free software is Burrrn

Burrrn.

do they work with vista?

[rosariorose9]

I've also used Burrrn with great success, although I don't know if it works with Vista. By the way, I'm surprised that you're an early adopter...

I just tried burrrn on Vista Home Premium. Burns CDs
just fine. The only glitch I noticed that wasn't in XP is in
the scrolling log dialog. Many lines are duplicated. Other
than that I dragged & dropped some .flac files and it converted
'em & burned without complaining.

Nice little app.

Excellent program! thanks Geno (and anony)

Rumor at the imgburn site is mp3 support may be seen in the next release.

Burrrn.

What does the ReplayGain option do, and what setting is the best? I can't find info on it
I know if you hover the cursor over it, you get basic info, but maybe somebody could elaborate.

[anonymez]

Replaygain is a technique that analyzes the audio files and adjusts the values in the headers accordingly so that they "sound" as loud as a specified value. Basically it makes all your music the same perceived "loudness", so that you do not have to increase/decrease the volume between tracks. Very highly recommended if you plan on compiling a disc from different artists/albums. The standout feature of Burrrn, and a lossless process.

89dB should be the default in most implementations, and is the recommended value. Going much higher can produce clipping.

Thanks anonymez guess I will leave it checked on "Track Adjustment"
It doesnt have a spot to enter a numerical decibal number that I can see.
