Jedi_Vogel Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 I've been using Roxio Easy CD Creator until recently when drag and drop no longer functions. ANd yeah, windows XP Home... my CD writing software worked (ironically) on win ME but not so good on winXP. Wanted to know what you people use to back up/copy CDs (as I need to do a huge myDocs backup very soon) cos I think I'll need some new software. Thanks in Advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--ZeeMan-- Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 umm..i use nero which came when i bought my burning drive. but it's fairly simple to use although might be hard to come across a working copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerd_Annhilator Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Nero is the best. But the thing that comes with toshiba is awesome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MennoniteHobbit Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Nero costs money. Ummm I use the software that came with our CD burner, which is some HP CD creator. Google's your friend also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Google's not normally my friend but I don't mind paying for some software if it's gonna work Back to Google then... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Give Musicmatch a try. Although the current version 9.0 is MEGA CRAPOLLA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 It's not just for backing up my music though it's for Document backups and such but if that's your opinion of the software, I'll look elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Most of the time, I use windows explorer. Works like a charm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Really? You can't drag-drop though can you...you have to "prepare" the thing and then command it to "write" yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google's your friend also. That program is pretty small, and easy to use. It works good for making back up cds also, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, like you would with a good old floppy disk, open the window, drag and drop, wait for it to write and voilà done! I'll see what this Nero thing is, how much it costs and if that's bad then I'm lumped with XP *shudders* oh well...can't win 'em all [edit] And I'll look at Groovy's suggestion as well Thanks people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 You must be having some program that came with the drive, right? If it is Roxio, bonk me on the head with an electric nightstick covered with pizza and drool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Nero is pretty much the standard, although there may be some stuff that is better in certain areas out there. Try looking around on http://www.videohelp.com/tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 I just checked out the Nero websitevand it's pretty expensive :/ I think I'll try and manage with just windows and if I get too frustrated (which is likely ) then I'll invest in a copy of Nero. *nods* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrotoy7 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 vogel, I use roxio 6, best damn writing software, for what I use it for anyway. I gotta admit, I dont use drag n drop, and my toshiba notebook has a program for that too, like egg destroyer said. Im sure theres a reason your roxio doesnt work(after it orginally did in ME), check out their site for an update..... mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Vogel Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 Yeah I loved Roxio, worked a treat on ME I DID go to their website and I DID download the update but it didn't change anything. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MennoniteHobbit Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 CDex (http://cdex.sourceforge.net or something like that) has been said to be good. And if you bought a CD burner, MusicMatch Jukebox has a pretty good built in CD ripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
