Even if you get ONES or Nero to burn audio CD's, data CD's, video CD's, video DVD's, and data DVD's, Exact Audio Copy is still a great program to have. It is the best program available for Windows to copy audio CD's to your hard drive. It has secure mode error correcting extraction. EAC will try to read bad sectors several times, and will only give up and report an error after lots of attempts to get a good rip. There is also burst mode, which may read badly damaged CD's better than secure mode. Also, all the offsets can be corrected: read, write, and combined read/write.
