Burrrn is good if you have Cue Files

Hi square_wave, EAC does both ripping & burning.

Deepburner and Infrarecorder have been very useful for me in Windows environments. There is also an ISO burner solution again free whose name I forget.

^ ISO Burning solution - ImgBurn?

'Burrn' is the best audio cd burner. _joshsibi_

Ashampoo is free and one of the verstile Burning Solutions.

 

[vikramsaun]

You can use CDBurnerXP too.. Its free

 

[square_wave]

Burrn seems to be very popular. I'll check it out.

Anil, I thought EAC can only do an accurate rip. Does it burn audio cd ?

 

[square_wave]

I had downloaded CDBurnerXP earlier today.

Is burrrn a better burner ?

 

[mahiruha]

Hi Square Wave,
I use CDburnerXp. I found it very satisfactory to create audio cds from wav files. If you want create cds from flac files I think you need to convert them first to wav files. The follwing guide I have used with satisfactory results when I used to listen to cds.

Thanks.

^^ I second that, dbpoweramp is an awsome programm, though I do not use it for burning, it has various other uses as well.....

 

[thevortex]

dbpoweramp is not free -is that right? I know that their ripping/tagging program is not free.

They used to have an interesting audio player but that is now gone.

Windows media player is the best for writing audio CDs in case you are using Vista/Windows 7

Haven't been anywhere near W7 yet (might give it a try on my future PC) and I understand that the latest WMP is good --- but I still prefer to avoid "big" software, by which I mean software that spends a lot of resource just on screen presentation, for instance; I like to use smaller, simpler products, both for playing music and for CD/DVD operations.

Having said that... I've moved my day-to-day stuff to Ubuntu now. I have VLC as my familiar player, but am yet to discover CD/DVD utilities.

 

[stereorules]

Burrrn is a very lightweight burner and player. It is very helpful if you have one big flac file and tracklist is in a cue file. Gets the job done without being all the bloat.
BTW, burn only at max of 16x.

cheers

Tools I have used over a period of time - Eac (used extensively;free and awesome), Dbpoweramp (used twice; awesome ripper but paid), Burrrn (used once; free). If you have a CUE file, any tool that supports CUE files will do the job nicely.

There is no one great tool or a "better burner"!

 

[tasanjeev]

I am using EAC and dbpoweramp. Both are good. Sometimes i use foobar also to convert to FLAC.

 

[magma]

im a db fan too

alternatively you can rip a cd using EAC directly in flac using a plugin - i use that
if youve got an original cd this is the best way to go since you get to use accurip
