Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
My aunt wants to learn how to burn copies of audio cds. And then she came to me (natch), even if I'm a mac guy.
So my question is, which freeware PC (WinXP) application is the easiest to use? It has to be able to: - do a straight copy of audio cds with few errors - we're not talking EAC accuracy here, she doesn't frequent the Steve Hoffman board. - make an audio cd from several different wav/mp3/etc. files - do the above things WITH NO HASSLE, and AS EASILY AS POSSIBLE for a total newbie. I'm really grateful for any recommendations! No members have liked this post.

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
I think Nero fits that bill

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
Aren't you at least *supposed* to pay for that ?
Burnatonce looks pretty nice (and it's still a bit *nixy).

Hehehehe.
I was thinking freeware, not just free. No members have liked this post.

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
Burnatonce looks good. How's Burrn? Are there any other good alternatives?
I'll try out Burnatonce now and check if it's simple enough for my dear auntie's needs. EDIT: I don't think it is. I even had some trouble with it myself. EDIT2: What does "nixy" mean? No members have liked this post.

*nix = Linux/Unix
Bummer, hope something good turns up.

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
That should have been the first thing to check; what's bundled with her computer. Some use Nero, and I know Dell use Sonic RecordNow or whatever it's called that should do the trick too. I'll have to check. I'm used to mac where there's no bundled burning app. Thanks for the answers

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
Hadn't even thought of that because WMP annoys the hell out of me. But I won't be doing the burning anyway, I'm only gonna show her how to, so it doesn't really matter what I think.
Thanks a lot for the tips, everyone! I appreciate it. No members have liked this post.

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
Think WMP does put 2 sec gaps. You can always download iTunes for PC?

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
I was using xp today and as soon as you pop in a disc it gives an option to copy audio cd. not sure if its gapless, but worth a try.

and make sure you don't let itunes convert the files to AAC. It likes to do that. No members have liked this post.

Re: Fool-proof audio burning app for pc
iTunes might be the way to go, thanks for all the answers. And I'll configure it for her beforehand, so there won't be any problem with conversions or gaps. I'll post back here if it doesn't work out.
