Heh.
So yeah, CloneCD has been recommended by many people. I actually went and downloaded it. Latest version.
Of course no download would be complete without a proper crack to gain full software functionality. So I went and got such a crack. CloneCD detected both my reader and my writer perfectly, things worked like a charm.
Then of course I wanted to try it out, so I decided to copy a CD. I just loaded up a russian version of UT, and it was actually read pretty fast.
Then the part of the actual burning arrived. And how surprising it was - it failed on the very first attempts, in a matter of 10 seconds.
Lucky me it failed so fast, before it even started to write, so I didn't get a coaster.
But I had to copy the CD, so I went to good old Nero, and my surprise was even greater when it produced a perfect copy.
This story taught me the same lesson again: not to believe anyone. Nero all the way! CloneCD, Easy CD Creator, CDRWin, they are all told to have their advantages, people recommend them, and maybe in some small insignificant aspects they are better than Nero, but overall, Nero isn't only the best, it's the best by far. Really really far. With all the functionality, simplicity, compatibility and ability.
I probably sound like I've been paid by Ahead to advertise and promote Nero.

Have you tried to BUY Clone CD instead of getting a crack??? I can assure you that a regular licenced CloneCD version works perfect...never had a problem with it as long I used the correct settings and hardware compatibility.
