1. The other burn programs also use this method of creating am image to work from, unless you set them deliberately to record "on the fly" without doing so. 2. I'm pretty sure that it's very simple: You burn stereo music tracks to a CD, they remain stereo. You burn mono tracks, they remain mono, and the same material goes into each channel. I don't think there's any alternative.
And of course Nero or another similar program can't create a stereo CD out of monaural material, nor do I think those programs can combine channels to make monaural recordings from stereo tracks. I'm certain, of course, and the people at PC-Audio list are bound to know these things, there are more sophisticated burning and recording programs that can probably produce simulated stereo from mono sources, and make a monaural recording out of a stereo one. But that's at the level of sophisticated recording technology, not the consumer level I think Nero, Easy CD/DVD creator, and the like function at. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrea Sherry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.

I guess the only way to find out how closely a cd copy could match the original would be to use Nero to make an .mrg image of the original audio cd and then play that and check. Nero is the only program which will make an image of an audio cd that I know of. UltraIso will image an audio cd but in Nero's proprietory .nrg format only. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Gomes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
