RE: CD copying recommendation needed
Hi. Nero express will do this for you. Also, so will Express Burn. Both of these programmes will cost you, I'm not sure how much but it won't be a fortune. I have not used Express burn for copying a disc as I have the free version and the copy option is only available with the paid version. Nero express however I have used and it is very simple. You can do all you ask with N.E. Basically, the programme takes a picture of the disc and copies it onto the blank disc. Any copy is an exact clone of the original.

Re: CD copying recommendation needed
Well using Nero and things like that would just seem to over complicate things in my opinion. I use Exact Audio Copy to copy CD'S and I can handle more than 1 copy at once though it may be that you might consider a small CD duplicating system just to make things easier. Anyway back to EAC, it can read from a cue/wave pair so that's the contents of your CD, the WAVE is the audio and the cue sheet defines where audio tracks begin and end on the CD itself. Most sound editors these days including Goldwave are capable of producing these files so once you have a pair? Well its just a matter of feeding that to EAC, inserting a CD, pressing a button and letting EAC do its stuff. I'd imagine you'd only have to do a small number of CD's would that be right? I mean most people have the Internet so they could download say through a Podcast system etc. The other advantage of using a Cue Wave pair is that you could upload it to a file sharing site - say Dropbox - and have other people work on the project, say other people copy the CD in other states as well as your own.

Note that it needs to do an exact copy of the disk rather than track by track, since there aren't gaps between the tracks on the original, so they don't want them on the copies. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: CD copying recommendation needed
Thanks Don. I'll take a look. Barry Chapman - Original Message - From: Donald L.

First, express burn. This is free although a previous poster stated there was a cost. The free version is limited to noncommercial use and will not burn video DVDs. Another great free program which will do exactly what you want is Burnaware. Google as I do not recall the url. The reason I prefer this is because it has a utility which tells you the exact type of disc which is in your drive, in addition to which it tells whether the disc is empty, etc. Don Roberts On 6/1/2011 6:20 AM, Barry Chapman wrote: Thanks Dane. At least this message is a little more constructive than your previous one. I was hoping for a program where you can insert a CD, specify how many copies are wanted and it is all pretty automatic from there. I have looked briefly at EAC, but it seems more complicated than that. The specs seem to indicate that it is mainly an audio grabber rather than a CD copier. The person who would be doing the copying is not particularly computer literate, so I wanted it to be as simple as possible. Someone mentioned Nero Express. The organisation has that program, but I didn't think it was all that accessible. I use Nero Burning ROM myself, but as you suggest, I think it would be overkill for them. I'll take another look at Nero Express to see what I can work out.

I use Exact Audio Copy to copy CD'S and I can handle more than 1 copy at once though it may be that you might consider a small CD duplicating system just to make things easier. Anyway back to EAC, it can read from a cue/wave pair so that's the contents of your CD, the WAVE is the audio and the cue sheet defines where audio tracks begin and end on the CD itself. Most sound editors these days including Goldwave are capable of producing these files so once you have a pair? Well its just a matter of feeding that to EAC, inserting a CD, pressing a button and letting EAC do its stuff. I'd imagine you'd only have to do a small number of CD's would that be right? I mean most people have the Internet so they could download say through a Podcast system etc. The other advantage of using a Cue Wave pair is that you could upload it to a file sharing site - say Dropbox - and have other people work on the project, say other people copy the CD in other states as well as your own.

I know there are many programs which will do this, but I am looking for something without bells and whistles which will simply do the following and is accessible and easy to use. 1. Can read a CD to temporary storage on hard disk. 2. Can produce a specified number of exact copies of the CD. That is, if 20 copies are specified, eject each CD once copied and prompt for the next until the 20 copies have been made. 3. Has an option to specify the write speed. 4. Has an option to verify that the disk has been written correctly. 5. The program is fairly inexpensive or preferably free. Note that it needs to do an exact copy of the disk rather than track by track, since there aren't gaps between the tracks on the original, so they don't want them on the copies.
