What is the best program for copying (unprotected) audio CD's?
Up until now I've been trying to decide which MP3 player to buy. I've decided to hold off getting a new MP3 player because (1) it looks like a new generation of IRiver, IAudio, etc. will be coming out fairly soon and (2) the weather is pretty bad anyway this time of year so there isn't any need to rush the decision on the MP3 player just yet.
I think for now I will just continue backing up CD's that interest me and later will pick the MP3 player and a program to rip the CD's and organize/play the music files on the computer.
I have Roxio Easy DVD Copy which seems to do an OK just for copying CD's. I also have an older program called NTI CD Maker 2000 Plus. Roxio Easy DVD Copy is a very simple program to use, all you need to do is insert the source and the blank and that's about all there is to it. I mainly use NTI CD Maker 2000 Plus for backing up data files to CD, but it also seems to work fine for copying audio CD's.
Does it really matter what program you use for copying unprotected audio CD's? Does one program pretty much work as well as the next? I've heard of another program which I believe is called Exact Audio Copy, is there any advantage to using that?
