Use Nero or Roxio. Also make sure your burner is compatible with CD text. Ya might have to update your burner ROM, depending on its age. You also have to burn in disc at once mode. Nero is great & free... sorta. You can get the demo for 30 days from their web site and search the engine for ways to contuinue use after the eval period. Roxio is gonna cost ya. Unless you have mad skill on free software.

I have NEVER bought software for ripping MP3s. I use Cronic 1.0 (very simple freeware from ZDNet) to rip - I think it only rips at 128 KB/sec, but that is very good quality, and when ripping my CDs to MP3 there is no discernible quality loss.
For ID3 tags, I've been using Internet Renamer (also free from ZDNet) - this one is awesome - it retrieves the album/genre/track title, (ALL the CD information - even the year) from their website, and tags all the tracks with a couple mouse clicks. Very simple, works perfectly.
For burning the discs, I use Just!Burn - it came pre-installed on my Compaq. It's not the best for regular CD burns, but for data (which is all MP3 is, frankly) it works just fine.

As for 128kb/sec bitrate, 192 is the best to use IMO. As for using Variable bitrate as stated in the link above, I wouldnt do this.

Some burning software like CDRWIN plays tricks on you like crashing your computer or burning coasters if you use a serial number that is pirated. Not sure if Nero does this. What version of Windows are you running? Reply with this info, I might be able to help

It's a *ahem* hacked version but I've only had it burn one coaster, and I think it was my fault. Also I am running windows 98 not sure which version

I got the latest version of Nero, since I have unlimited updates when I purchased my TDK burner. You might want to uninstall Nero, and reinstall to see if that helps. You can also try CDRWIN, which is another good burner program. I hate ROXIO

Well, that may be your problem? When you say hacked version, do you mean pirated or actually hacked? Hacked is when there is something physically done to the games installer/exe file. Alot of times this doesnt have to be done, all you need is a valid serial number.
