Roxio vs Nero

RoadStar · 08-21-2008, 10:02 PM

I just bought a Pioneer DVD W/R Drive for my Desktop and it comes with Nero8 and my Laptop came with Roxio Creater DE and I want to use just one. Which, in yer opinion is the better one and why?

I used to be Roxio biggot. I have both and have both installed and used both. There are some minor differences.

Nero appears to be the more popular. System mfg tend to included some form of Roxio. CD/DVD drive mfg tend to include Nero. They both work and do the job of burning cds. Mostly they have flashy GUI screens over some of the free burner software like CDburner XP, DeepBurner and others. These also work fine and cost nothing.

I use Roxio but have both, started with Roxio on my first burner and it does what I need, both are good, I always just use the light verison, don't need all the other blooted software that comes with either full verison!

Personally, I have been using CDBurner XP for a long time and prefer it. Give it a try....
