		I'm considering a burner by BTC. Has anyone had compatability issues or anything of that nature with this particular company? I'm upgrading from a 2x2x4x burner which has burned well over 700cds (ha ha, not saturn/sega cd isos, but for my band) and has seen better days, so anything is an improvment. Any other suggestions (regarding said cd burner purchase) are welcome.

		BTC is good, no compatibility problems, even works with discjuggler. I have the 24x10x40 BTC Burner. Excellent burner.

		i bought a buslink burner and it died after one burn ???

		The only brand I personally recommend is Plextor, they have a great reputation and the hardware to back it up.

		thats what i wanted to say but SkankinMonkey beat me to it anyway plextor is very good burner

		My vote goes for Plextor too. I think my friend has a Yamaha that he's had good luck with as well.

		i hate to agree with skank, but i too have heard nothing but good things about plextor, either that or yamaha. though i have an acer, which is kind of shitty and has real problems with multisessioning it also has an h.p. setup as opposedto the much more common sony setup so it defeats alot of copy protection that sony drives don't

		i dunno over the years i have had a mitsumi and a samsung and i still use the mitsumi 7 years old she is. but the samsung is new and it works really well.

		I'm looking at a BTC, Plextor or AOpen burner. All of them are roughly 12x~16x (that's all I need... and can afford :: ) Any thoughts on AOpen? I love their cases, and their monitors are nice, but I can't find any decent reviews on their burners.

		Don't buy a Sony! Sony recorders have some problems burning BIN/CUE! Go and see the forums of GoldenHawk and Fireburner... I say this cos I have one and can't burn BIN/CUE and ISO/CUE and nothing CUE

		Ratamahatta	Jul 24, 2002
		Go for the BTC, the 12x BTC was rather crappy, but the newer models are really really high quality. the 20x burner shouldnt be too expensive as I got mine for 129 canadian brand new.

		another vote for the plextor here i have the 16/10/40 drive here, and havent had any compatibility problems or anything else causing problems with it. on another note my old 2X6 dysan drive still works (a cr-622) although it is obviously slow

		I like Plextor ...

		wolfofwere	Jul 24, 2002
		I use an ATAPI 40x24x10 burner... it works really well, but when I bought it, it was on sale... If you have the cash, get a plextor burner. Everyone else covered the others, but ATAPI are ok too...

		gamefoo21	Jul 24, 2002
		i heard there are rumors about the drive makers working with the entertainment companies to write firmware that is unable to burn certain things and makes them more vulnerable to over and underruns.

		Gallstaff	Jul 24, 2002
		i use a lite-on.. something i dunno bit lite-on is a good company none the less.

		sonik	Jul 25, 2002
		Lite-on have some good burners! You can copy allmost any protected CD!
