I have had to recently rebuild my computer (Damn you Win32.weird !) and have lost all of my previous software, including the CD burner program that came with my computer.

So do you dopers have any suggestions for a good burner program? I would like it to include software for creating MP3’s and for converting MP3’s to a CD readable format.

Nero Burning Rom, without a doubt.

[Pyro](http://www.cakewalk.com/Products/PY/PY.html) is pretty decent, although I warn you that I don’t use it much and may have missed some huge faults.

Nero is fun. esp. 5.5.6 or the next update from there. I got too many Nero cd’s cause I bought so many cdrom drives.

I’ve used Hotburn mostly because it does as well with data files as mp3’s but I think I like Roxio Easy Cd5 is my fav so far. I never ever get one of those buffer overrun messages with this program. I didn’t like pyro at all-- too many ruined discs.
