what WILL work??

Very interesting reading. I just purchased both a Plextor 40/12/40U external drive and the MicroStudio, obviously to copy CDG's. I previously owned a Compaq desktop and it had a Sony RW drive (thank God) because I didn't have a clue when I ordered it that some Cd writers wouldn't do CDG. I lucked out when I found it on the list of supported drives of CDRWIN that I ordered.
Compared to CDRWIN (2 yrs ago), MicroStudio is a no-brainer to run.
Because my new setup is XP I had to email with Bryan Cox re an appropriate driver. Excellent response and support.
What I guess I am saying is this...you can buy your burner at some warehouse closeout or whatever, but when you buy it at MTU, with your software, you get the equipment and the service, including this forum that you wouldn't find at Office Max or whatever. And, buying both (software/hardware) at MTU, ensures there is no finger pointing. Either way, MTU has to make it write (pun intended).
