I would try that first. I think these CD-R's are supposed to screw with the
copy CD programs that Nero and Easy CD Creator use. Another thing - DONT
run the program that boots up when the CD first loads up. I dont know if
these install copy protection schemes or spyware or not!! Also dont use
Microsoft Media player for playing your CD's - use the old CD Player or
Winamp.
I like to use CLONE CD for copying audio CD's. Its really made for copying
games, but most of my dual mode and copy protected CD's can be copied by
this program: http://www.elby.ch/en/products/clone_cd/
I am using Windows 98 SE (planning to go to evil XP soon) and my CD burner
is made by a company called LITE-ON. They make CD-Rom drives for Memorex,
TDK and Sony - but repackagers like Buslink, Verbatim Pacific Digital and
Cendyne also repackage thier drives. But be careful they also use other
manufacturers. I bought a Buslink (PS: It has "SmartBurn" on the box - the
one that say "Just Link" are made by Acer) - and it only cost me $24.99
after rebate.
