Is not "necessary", but if your system is a slow one, or maybe low on RAM, you
shouldn't be using your computer while burning. By shutting down stuff running
in the background, you're freeing up more resources for the job to be done
uninterrupted. Unlike a copy to hard drive or floppy, when you burn to CD it
needs a continuous stream of data. If its burning, and the source is coming in
slower than the destination, its gonna hiccup and crash. That's what the
burner's buffer is for. It reads ahead and saves the info that needs to be
burned in the buffer. The burner takes the data from the buffer, and the buffer
continues to be filled.
There's a feature on most current CD burners now that enables the burner to
actually halt a burn until the buffer refills. Forgot what its called. But,
Plextor I think was the first with the technology, and now practically every
burner has some form of this technology on it.
