I'm looking at several different CDRW software packages. I've used Roxio EZCD 5 (don't want to go with that as there are several reported problems under WinXP, and their prior history under Win2000 is poor) and Nero 5.5 (works fine, but it takes some getting used to the interface).

I'm looking at
1. VOB InstantCD
2. Stomp RecordNow Max or Click 'n Burn Pro
3. NTI CD Maker Pro

Would appreciate any thoughts/input as to those over Roxio or Nero.

Are you intersted in pure CDRW functionality or in packet writing technology?

I would recommend nero, indeed the interface is a little hard in the beginning, but you get used to it pretty quick. I used to have easy cd creator back in the 98 days, but since i upgraded to 2k and now xp i allways used nero.
