Best drag and drop drive letter CD-R software?...

[Frank McMahon]

I have used Direct CD in the past and loved the drag and drop aspect. Now
most drive letter access programs (drag files direct to a drive letter) are
bundled and buried in $100 suites of software. Can't see buying a big set
like Easy CD Creator when drive letter access is all I really need.

Where can I get a solid/simple XP drive letter access CD program? What is
the best one, most popular one out? Mainly it is for burning CD-Rs for
clients, love to have compatibility with Windows/Mac and not have to format
(or at least do a quick format)

I use Windows XP burning but don't like how it copies everything first. It
also seems to hang with a "please wait" before burning every 5 burns or so.
I have to delete the temp files, eject the disk and do it again and then it
seems to work. So looking for a better solution.

Thanks!

I suggest DLA - from http://www.sonic.com/products/dla/features.asp
which is $29.99 to download, and I consider probably the best and
simplest in use. Only disadvantage I have run into is that if you have
two burner drives you can only use it with one of them at any time
Will handle CD, including the 'Mount Ramier' format, or DVD, so is
comprehensive

Just noticed that point though: For that purpose you do *not* want a
true drag and drop, drive letter type program, using packet writing.
You need one that makes ISO sessions as the inbuilt burning does and as
is done by Easy CD Creator or Nero - *not* their related Direct CD or
InCD. But the RecordNow - again from Sonic - does this effectively, if
with rather fewer bells and whistles, and somewhat cheaper.
