Hello Dotty, I meant to send this to your private address, but voyager.net bounced my email twice. I haven't got much experience with Easy CD Creator, but, because CD-burning is a big part of my business, I record a lot of audio CDs using a software called Nero Burning Rom with no problems whasoever. So, unless you have some special reasons for sticking to CD Creator, I'd really recommend you to switch to Nero, since it's truly reliable, very powerful, perfectly jawsable and extremely easy to use. By the way, if you're interested in music, you might like to have a look at my website at www.cd-master.ru/eng.htm Hope this helps. Very best regards, Denis
