I'm currently using Nero but in the past have used the Roxio product and it seemed to work well also.

My questions are:

1: Which do you prefer of these two?

2: Do you prefer to use any other software?

3: Is it ok to have both Roxio and Nero on your system at the same time?


This is not a scientific poll or anything, just curious as to what others prefer and why.

Thanks

I have only used Nero 6 and I have had my problems with it. To be precise; when I burned audio filed onto a CD, some of the song startings were chopped off and the songs started from in between. I thought that the CD was not good or something so I tried a "Sony" CD and it worked fine, so I continued using "Sony" CD-Rs. But then after a couple of CDs the problem came back. I mean it was completley random. To curb this problem, I play all the songs on the Nero Preview before copying and they work fine. The older versions of Nero never gave me this problem.

Of course. You should'nt have any problems with two different softwares installed on your system at the same time. They act like two whole different softwares.

Both are proprietary softwares.
So I recommand you to use CDrtools instead.

I use Nero and I think it's ok, I haven't had any problems with it it's very easy and has a nice interface so you can manage..
I just care that I have a burning program because the quality has been good and so i don't complain..

I use Nero 5.5.9.9, and it works flawlessly... I used only Nero before, so I can't say anything about some of the other cd recording software...

Nero is far superior to anything else available, in my opinion. I have also used Roxio, and it seems to work pretty good, too. However, I never had them on the PC at the same time, but I don't see how it could be a problem.

But I would just stick with Nero. I've never had problems burning with it.

I use Nero 6.6 because it have everithing I need and even more.

I did try Nero at first, but it was about 3 years ago and it was too confusing to use for me, since then i have been using roxio, and now i own roxio v.6 and it works pretty well for me, it does everything i want, i think its best feature is that you can make VCD (video cd's) i dont know if Nero can do that, but you dont need a DVD burner to burn video into the CD's and it works pretty well.
