Cheap software for a burner

What's a good burner software title these days for cd's and dvd's. I just
built a new machine with an OEM burner that didn't come with any software.
It pains me to buy Roxio or Nero. No more than I use the burner portion of
the drive, I hate to put an $80 dent in my wallet. Anyone know a good
shareware or freeware that's simple to use.

I haven't used either one of these but I have seen them recommended.
They are free by the way.

How about the built-in features of Windows XP?

They only do data CDs. You need other software to do ISOs, Bin/Cue,
and Audio/Video CDs.

You're partially incorrect, Windows Media does Audio. You are right about
the others though.

I bought an OEM version of Nero, for around $12. Works fine for
burning etc., but doesn't have some of the DVD authoring stuff, etc.
Do a search on Froogle.

mmmmm......yeeeah........sorta
I know everyone hates me harping on it but if you have a friend to DL the
Knoppix ISO and burn it to a 700meg disk.... You'll have to boot the Knoppix
CD but it'll configure itself and load it's own drivers for your system without
your messing with it and without messing with your hard drives either.
It's got a lot of games, utils, and at least 1 pretty good CD burner prog in it.
At least I haven't had any problems with it.
Finds/loads drivers for my onboard gigabit NIC and the PCI NIC, onboard
sound, dual scsi cards, chipset, etc, etc. It even finds my cable modem
down the LAN and lets me smurf the internet and all I have to do is type in
the browser. Free? I suppose you'd have to buy a 700meg CD for a friend
to burn it to first....

Why not just go one extra step, download a full Linux distribution.

My burning software of choice was Easy CD Creator before I began using
Mandrake Linux. The K3B burning application in this I find to be far
easier to use. No such thing as crippled software either.

A whole host of other reasons exist for why you may wish to use Linux.
Other Linux users here know what I mean.
