>I see that you also mentioned Nero which I will investigate. Do you have any other suggestions or advice as far as the best software to use?

Sorry, I'm not much good for this question. I use Nero only because a) it's cheap b) it works on Windows 2000 and c) it works well enough for my purposes. Other than that, I'm no expert on CD burning or software. Hopefully someone with more experience in this area will pick this up.
