Any simple equivalent to Nero Burner?

[ramborums]

I need some burning software to do the following:
1. Make CD copies of CDROM and Audio/video cds
2. Make bootable CDs
3. Write files in multiple sessions
4. Write to CDRW

One option is to go for a box of Nero. I d like to know if there s a cheaper option before I do that.

Thanks

Roxio can match nero....

do know abt that
but y do u want to buy nero
y searching for cheaper option
after all nero comes free with every CD writer
also u can downlaod nero from www.nero.com
InCD is also good
& if just want to write data CD than use winXP, just copy & paste in your cd drive & use winXP CD Writing Wizard
No idea for Audio Video & Bootable CD's

thanks for the responses ...

roxio costs pretty mch the same. and am sure its as good too.

i need this software for my laptop. the oem software which we get with the drive work only with that drive. i already am using the oem nero on my desktop.

the xp burner does not work well for multiple sessions, when i want to add on some files to an already written cd. also i want to be able to make copies of audio and video cds.

any ideas please?

thanks

There are a few good free software such as CD Burner XP Pro, Deep Burner, etc... They will be able to do all of the above AFAIK...

looks like i sent the last mail in a hurry .. cd burner xp seems to have everything except the facility to make copies of audio/video cds. any ideas on alternatives for the cd copier?
