starting from scratch.have a abs/pc w98/ 128k. after reading lots of mesg's and links
am leaning towards alcohol 120% and liteon 52/24/52. will be copying pc games and music.
any comments/advise/directions from the computer gods will be forever appriciated!!!
But beware, Alcohol is *extremely* good for burning images and doing CDs backups but you might have problems doing backups of files, building VCD and so on.
I would also suggets you to install Nero. It is fairly good for everything except for making backups of protected CDs (when you use Alcohol). The bundle version is 99% functional (except MP3 ripping).
More, if you want to rip/convert/edit Audio I would also suggest EAC ( http://exactaudiocopy.de ).
So, my suggested 'minimal perfect set' would be:
- Alcohol for backups and image burning;
- EAC for Audio CDs;
- Nero for everything else CD-R related (CD-ROM, VCD...).
(This is only my opinion of course, someone else might have other preferences ... )
Bubbling under the favourites list is Padus DiscJuggle. The DJ shows quite a bit of power in CD pre-mastering and backups. Especially it's ability to verify the backups makes it interesting for burning important data - I am also testing it for PSOne backupping, due to it's unique verification abilities.
I am new to burning Cd (audio). I am using Nero and everything was working great but now it asks me to save an image file It never said this before and now I can't burn music... Help please
BTW the answer is simple: you have selected 'Virtual device' on Recorder---> Choose Recorder menu instead of the burner.
There might be two reasons:
- last time you used Nero you ripped a CD, creating an image on your HD, selecting the Virtual Device;
- your burner is no more seen by Nero.
