Really? Perhaps those having bad burns are using the software
illegally with a warez crack or code. I know people who have
done so and it spits out frisbees randomly. Maybe one good burn,
and 2 bad ones, etc.. I use the shareware version at 1x myself
and am happy. Never had a bad burn with CDRWin and I've burned
probably 100 disks with it. Only time anything went wrong was
with Windows stupid screen saver of all processor and disk
suckageness kicking in.

At the rate of successful burns I've had with it, a frisbee would
get lost in the noise.

Again, for it to be important to me, I'd have to have a frisbee
problem in either situation, and I don't. If I'm burning
something I'm not sure of, I use CDRW. I erase if it works good,
and then use CDR.

I have no need for single session DAO of simple disks. I need
DAO of data/audio mix disks, and other stuff like CD+G. Last
time I tried cdrdao it didn't cut it. It might certainly do so
now, but I have to get some serious feedback that it is
worthwhile to try. Where can I get 1.1.3 source code RPM's
packaged sanely for Red Hat? Source only please.
Thanks.
