I heard that the CD - burning issue was to be dropped since it clashed with to many laws. However the MP3 support is bad on Xp at least what I have heard. In the regular program tha comes with it MP3 will sound bad compaired to their own format.. However, install winamp and you are home free.
Unfortunatley for the big corporates, things like this will lead to more people will avoid Microsoft. They have a tendancy to try and rule peoples options and well. If Amiga or Linx just make that ittle function to be able to ryn the games on todays PC market... Bye bye Windows OS. Gamers is one of the biggest gtoups of market cut and if all says their piece or would buy only playstations from now on.. It will be a huge set back for the developers. The computer business will be real bad for alot of years. Gamers spend alot of money on their games, compuers and asserories. So, well if they keep messing, we can threaten to buy Playstation 2, a harddrive and keyboard for it. The littel modem and voila. Someone at Sony will make something like word, and there you have what most people use their computers for!! OK, this came out as an angry rally call. But for me. My WIN98 will stay in my puter for some time. A dual boot to some other OS seems to be the best choice. If the games can be played under win98 for some time.. I don´t see any use to get XP and other mindcontol OS on my computer. I´m tired of being scanned and mailed alot of different commercial mails just because I was on someones site or searched for this or that...

When you use your burning program, and from the way I understand it it makes no difference which one, Windows XP will ride in the back ground and add noise and dead spots. If you listen to the CD that you made on that computer youll hear everything naturally. BUT if you try to listen to that CD one a stereo or in someone elses computer youll hear a little bit of music. then bleep bleep blurp. then a little more music followed by a dead spot. Followed by music and then more bleep bleep blurp and another dead spot. and so on and so on and so on. They are trying to make it completely unusable by anything other than the system it was reproduced on. I could be wrong about all this but Ive been trying to research this subject and this is what all the material Ive read says. Mircosoft is trying to make burners obsolete. And Im sure they also have (somewhere up their sleeve) the perfect Microsoft alternative to the problem, forcing you, the consumer, to buy yet another of their products. Any other input out there???? ------------------ THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!!!! |

so what happens if I upgrade my pc (which usually requires a reinstallation of the OS as well) - will that make those CDs unusable?

Have to agree with you Mem. This feature is the best. Have used it several times when things have gone bad.
