Download a free trial of roxio software and give it a try before you buy. Nero 6 is a great burning software also.

If a company is afraid to put out a trial version of their software then I think there's something rotten somewhere.

That might be great but roxio does not have a free trial version.   Seven seems so far to a lot better than the version put out before it but I for one would not buy it over nero.

We ll yes and no nero does not have a forum and roxio does so does that make nero bad and roxio good.  But  roxio support is bad bad bad but version seven seems to work better than the other versions.  Roxio does have a 15 day money back for there product it you do not like it.

I don't have Roxio Easy Media 7 yet, but I am using Easy CD-DVD 6 on an 8300 with the Dell supplied GCE-8483B CD-RW burner. Have not had problems buring CD's with this combo. On my previous Dell I had Easy CD 5 and had no burning problems with that version either. My guess is that Easy Media 7 will work fine--some people have had problems with Roxio but my experience with their software has been good, going back to version 3.

I used easy cd creator 5 & 6 they both worked great on cd's but 6 wouldn't even recognize my dvd-rw drive so if you can't try it don't buy it.

I have run V3 through V7 and never had any problem with drive recognition but once.

In V5 the drive had not been added to the list yet. A quick edit to the list and it was up and running.

However V6 uses, first a drive list, then if the drive is not present, drops to dynamic drive detection.

V7 uses only drive detection.
