Any Good, Lean CD Audio Burning Programs?

[Frank Bright]

Hi,
I'm kind of hesitant to try installing Nero for the Nth time. Does anyone
know of a
company that puts out a Lean CD audio burning program that is compatible
with Vista?

And I'm not looking for free or open source - I'll pay for it. I'm just
behind on
what's actually out there.

I've looked into Roxio and it seems they are just as bloated as Nero. So I
don't think I'll go for
their Easy Media Creator 9.0 if I can help it. It is possible that Roxio's
RecordNow may be enough and not too large
of a program. But I can't tell if that is compatible with Vista.

Anyone notice how these Audio Companies are only putting out the Vista
Certification
for the bloated, massive programs?

I appreciate any help anyone could offer.

Many Thanks, Frank

Have a look at DeepBurner - I found it when Nero Express wouldn't work on
Vista.

And the price is the best!

I've been dead impressed with Ashampoo Burning Studio on XP. They've just
released a Vista-compatible version. You can trial it from:

www.ashampoo.com

What I like is that it is so lean and focussed, with none of the collosal
bloat suffered by Nero et al.

Tried Roxio emc9 and it is junk. Gui feezes, codecs disable some of the
wmp11 features. I tried nero 7 ultimate. A big problem with it is connecting
to the online cd database to populate the cd track meta file data. Do Not
Install Roxio on a Vista machine.

Thanks for all your suggestions - I actually remembered that my HP Upgrade
Assistant DVD had some
OEM Roxio software on it.

I had to dig for it within a whole list of zip files, but I finally found
it.
Turns out it is Roxio 'Creator Basic v 9.0'. A much more lean
version of Emc.

There is also Roxio RecordNow 9.0 downloadable version that is Vista
Compatible for $29.99.
Thanks, Frank
