A lot of people post to these and other newsgroups who are having problems
using Windows Media Player to burn CDs. It seems to me that over the years,
most people posting with questions regarding Nero are posting just that:
questions. Nero has a lot of nice features, but it's not always immediately
obvious how to access some of them. But in my experience, it does work
flawlessly.

Add to these points the fact that you are already familiar with Nero, and
I'd say your choice is fairly clear.

I should say that I have personally never used WMP for burning CDs. I've
used EasyCD Creator, MusicMatch Jukebox and Nero extensively though, and due
to its reliability and functionality have decided to stick with Nero (the
full 5.x retail version these days.)

HTH,
Ian.

Nero is the best app of its type on the market. Be sure to download the latest
update at http://www.nero.com/
