Nero Burning Rom Vs Alcohol 120%

what are u guys' opinions on these progs? i was using nero 7.5.9.0 lite and got rid of it. went back to nero 6 something can't remember right now.. at work. nero 7 worked well with data files when burning, but when making a music cd it made the the songs in a fucked up order. like the last song is now the first song. i could had corrected this by simply moving that song to the end be4 i burnt it, but that is something i shouldn't have to do so i got rid of it. now, i have this alcohol business, but have yet to try it. is it any better than nero? why? one burns faster? also, can u have both installed without conflict?

Its always comes back to choice ,I like Nero but also use Power ISO for obvious reasons . You can use as many as you want it, might just come down to options that you missed .

I like Nero's StartSmart as anyone in the family can burn their music to no complaints . So thats what I use but I could use the Win XP built in one in a pinch too . Just try a few different programs many have a trial period to test .

Hey its been said many times my friend ,what media are you using ,the cheap stuff or the name brand ?

it doesn't cum down to the media i'm using. it's about the prog 4 nero 6 workz just fine. nero 7 worked fine, but did something i didn't like so i went back to 6. just to throw it in here i use memorex everything. just like i just said... it workz just fine and i won't be changing it. the prog is what i have a problem with. well, i guess i'll install alcohol and try it out and see wtf. i've just heard alcohol can be a pain in the ass to install/crack sometimes and my nero is easy as cake. i like it like that, but i guess i should venture out and test the waters w/new software. i just wanted some input on what alcohol had to offer over nero is all. didn't know if it had anything special over nero that i should be aware of.

No problem I understand what you mean , I tried Roxio but did n't care for it I'v had many problems with Nero as well . I just run a regcleaner after a new install seems to correct most of my problems . Wish I new why the older versions of Nero seem more stable , I'd be a rich Beta tester . I'm using 7.2.3.2 and quite like it .

can u confirm the burning of cd's problem with that version and it puts the last song first? or just something other than what the songs are labeled? also, is that version 100mb+ or something? that's why i picked nero 7 lite. it's only like 25mb and it has everything i need. otherwise nero 7 is bloatware.

I had the same problem with the audio get f**ked up when buring with nero 7 but i noticed that some of the checkboxes were ticked on default as in nero 6 they werent for audio track list, i think it was called after that i never had any more issues with nero 7. as for alcohol i never really used it except to make some images lol. it worked great for that.

@mr. nails: I am using nero micro 7.5.9.0 and don't have the same problem.

You have to make an adjustment in order that the songs appear according the filename.

Nero burning rom>options>audio>options>Artist/Title Information Source
and then choose the option: "Always from the file name"

I have attached a screenshot to guide you

i never did try this, but kept it so if i needed to use it down the line i would have it. anyway, i used nero 7 today and it still does that problem where it puts the last song first. how to fix this? ur explanation did not help (work).

Thanks for info......

i think nero is better.

i don't need it thanks'd*. i need it fixed! thx.

thanks

I think Nero is more dependable than alcohole since its company and the expert behinds it .

Well, NIN, all I know is that Alcohol 120% can burn and mount mds/mdf files. Although you can use Power ISO to either convert it to an iso or mount it to a virtual drive.
I personally like PowerISO for it's simplicity. I like the iso format. it's very... clean

I like Alcohol 120% easy & fast

I use nero to burn cd and dvd. and use magiciso to burn iso file.

I think you guys are nuts, compairing Nero and Alcohol 120% is like comparing apples and oranges. One is designed to burn video, data and copy non-protected disks and the other is made to copy protected disks thru emulation and removal of copy protection schemes. If you are using alcohol to burn disks just like you would with Nero your a nut.

I use IMGBURN to burn images. It's neat, nifty, lite and free....

i think nero is better and fast & easyto use

Thanks for info......

NERO!
never used alcohol 120%, and i won't use it :)

nero is the best..

Don't Knock Alcohol, it has its uses. I remember finding a tutorial once that told you how if you opened Alcohol and minimized it to the taskbar and then ran the install disk of what ever disk you wanted to copy, it would automatically read the protection. So you stopped short of loading the game and then brought alcohol back up and made a few settings like safe disk in the emulation (at the time) and a few other things I can't remember, then you could go ahead and make a copy of the disk you ran and it would pass muster for at least loading the game if not also playing it. Many Moons have past since then and for the life of me I can't find that tutorial.

I use them both, because I use Alcohol for the virtual drives and nero for burning music cds and data files. I burn CD images with Alcohol 120%.
