Favorite Music Burning Proggy

[nectros]

I just want to know what you guys use to burn your MP3's on to CDR's. You see I have a CD player in my trusck that will play MP3's. I want to know what program can show the ID3 Tag info when you are selecting files. Right now all I see when I select files is the Filename. sometimes thats ok, but I really like the ID3 tag info better, plus thats what displayed on my player in the truck. Again, I know NERO will burn the files, but I want a program that will allow me to veiw the ID3 tag info while I'm selecting files to burn.
I hope I made this understandable

[imported_computerfreak76]

one of the best programs ive found to do what you need to do is musicmatch jukebox.

[nectros]

So does musicmatch have the ID3 info AND a burning tool? or would I need to "import" a playlist into another external program?

[Skillian]

People really don't seem to like it for some reason but I use Windows Media Player. You can see all the ID3 tags and choose them that way plus you can burn playlists and even autoplaylists of your favourite tracks or genres. Does all the converting, auto-volume levelling, everything.

But of lot of posts will follow now saying don't use it :D

edit: These features might only be in XP, not sure.

But thats just the thing, I don't want it to "Auto convert" I want the files to Be in MP3 format

[imported_computerfreak76]

WMP can do that too - it gives you the choice. I don't see anything you can do in another player (or burner etc.) that you can't do with WMP.

[nectros]

Well I found out how to do it with WMP. It took me a few minutes......but nevertheless I figured it out. And its just what I was wanting.....


:) sorry all you M$ haters :angry:

[holden_caulfield]

i use nero express with the MP3 plugin

i find it the most reliable burner

[MrT]

I've been using MusicMatch Plus. Works good for me, and has all the tags and stuff, too.

Use Nero and create a data CD with all your MP3 files. :)

[jakert50]

I'd have to say musicmatch jukebox plus :)

:D That's not what I said, FC. I said: "Use Nero and create a data CD with all your MP3 files" :P

Easy CD Creator sucks big time. ;)
It doesn't support .bin/.cue files and if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't support overburn too. :unsure:

Stick with Nero. It's more reliable in my opinion. ;)

MusicMatch Plus or Premiuim is the only way I do music. MusicMatch is a very cool and stable burning program that was Music based so it is very reliable when it comes to music. Volume leveling, tagging and just about anything you would ever want to do is built right in.

I also have used the auto span feature, that is if I want to burn a whole slew of files, music, TV shows, etc it will allow me to import all of them and then it will auto divide them between discs to insure you are not wasting valuable disc space.

I used it when burning my entire Farscape Episode collection, it worked beautifully, instead of using up 57 cd&#39;s (burning them in exact order thus leaving lots of blank space on each disc) I was able to only use 32 or something, because it looked at all of the files and split them across the CD&#39;s in the most economic fashion. (It&#39;s not like I need to have them in exact order on disc, better to have fewer discs than order in my book)

MM is excellent, however for ripping I use CDex, digital to digital ripping is far superior to all others as they are digital / analog / digital because they use your sound card, whereas CDex bypasses the analog issues of your sound card and rips directly to your hardrive.

I hate to say it but I couldn&#39;t agree more about CDex. It small, perfectly formed and does exactly what is required. It&#39;s also simple to use.

You can get it as a download from the internet. It will be much quicker. Just search for CDex in google.

Just go to

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/

and follow the trail to download the version you want.

[itay]

i use MusicMatch Plus, it&#39;s real easy and convenient......... :D

WMP9. Why use anything else? People make CD burning so complex with goofy programs... nero, ezcd, recordnowmax, etc. None of these programs have ever made a difference to a disc that I have made.--

I recommend CDex for ripping, not burning. I then use Nero for burning. Both are simple. Indeed Nero can be run as a wizard, you just select the option you want.

I find both easier to use than WMP9.

As with everything it&#39;s personal choice.
