1. A music CD which you burn to a CDR. When you do it that way, you can burn up to 80 minutes of music. The free version of Nero doesn't have that option.

2. MP3 format. You can burn mp3's onto either a CDR or a blank DVD. You can burn as many mp3's as space will allow on the blank media. The free version of Nero does have the option to do that.

So, to do what you want, you will want to use the free version of Nero and burn a data disc and burn your files and mp3's onto blank DVD's.

Win7 backup builtin software should do your backups.

Instead of Nero check out Ashampoo burning studio 2009 which is free. alot less bloat than Nero and does more...

I just have a follow up question, if you don't mind.

With the built in Windows 7 (native) burner, does that get the job done for backing up all data, music, files, documents, etc, and is it easy and effective to use?

Also, is there anything built in to Windows 7 to make duplicate copies of CD's/DVD's, and if so, what?

Thank you so much!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23257518 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:27:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23257033 kw : Audio CD's are different than Data CD's.

Since you are looking to do Data CD's, you'll be able to use Nero 9.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23257033 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:50:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23256994 rabgary : Audio burning allows you to make playable cd's out mp3s,etc.
If the music on your pc are mp3s,wave files or other playable music files you can just burn them as backups the same way you would all the other stuff you mentioned.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23256994 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 19:44:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23256671 anon : I'm looking for a CD/DVD burning software for Windows 7, 64-bit.

I just need something basic, where it lets me back up all of my files (music, data, Word files, pictures, images, documents, etc) and lets me make (duplicate) copies of CD's/DVD's.

It seems that Nero 9 FREE is a basic program that may fit my needs, but it says it doesn't allow audio burning.

What is the difference between audio burning and backing up music/audio? I have a lot of songs already on my computer that I wanted to back up with all of my other files, so I preserve the music.

Is there a distinct difference between backing up music/audio and burning music/audio?

I'm just trying to find the best, basic software for me, and lightweight would be great, too.

Thanks so much!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23256671 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:43:40 EDT
