I need an easy to obtain (like by . . tommorow?), resonably priced Windows compatible software program that allows you to take audio CDs, take individual tracks, and burn them onto a second CD, creating a “favorites CD”. I hear “iTunes or"mytunes” is a good program. Or should I be able to do this with almost any CD burner software? There seems to quite a few out there- any reccomendations? If there’s something out there that does other cool stuff, that would be a big help. ---

You should be able to do that with any CD program. I reccommend: [Ahead’s Nero Burning Rom](http://www.ahead.de/en/index2.htm) This is the best all-around CD-R program, IMO. Also good is: [WinOnCD](http://www.cequadrat.com/english/products/) I’d stay away from Adaptec’s EZCD Creator…just not a very good piece of software, although it’s the most popular. Nero is $70 plus shipping if you want a disc, but only $50 if you download it. I couldn’t find pricing info on WinOnCD. Jman ---

Any cd burning sw should be able to do it. I’m partial to Nero. > **[Nero Platinum - Software | Hardware | Downloads](https://www.nero.com/enu/)** > > Nero 2021- Multimedia software with over 20 years of experience and 100 million users worldwide ► Further information ---
