if you want to transfer AN ENTIRE CD, i think you should use simpler burner, because the LP4 mode (that lets you fit the most music, sound great, the tracks are not "protected", it does not store anything on your computer (goes directly from CD->MD and it will grip the title and song name infor for you.) however if you want to make mix CD, (lots of songs from many differect cd's), or transfer music that is alread on your harddrive, you should us REALPLAYER 10, it has a lot more freedom then the sony bundled software, and is alot more stable and easier to use.
