Heartland

What I can gather most of you on HL are pc boffs!!

So is anyone willing to help me here?

I'm wanna buy a CD-RW.Does anyone know any cheap deals going on at the moment in the UK?

Oh, will I have to buy any software with the CD-RW aswell?

Please excuse my ignorance, but when I went to a convent school they had no pc's way back in ......

Thanks.

Vanessa.

Can't give you any price guides, but look for something around the 48 speed mark. Make sure you PC has enough horse power too.

From what I gather brands don't matter as much as they used to. CD Writing isn't cutting edge technology any more and the chances of creating coasters instead of lovely CDs has decreased a whole lot.

You should get basic software with the drive, try get Nero Burning ROM.

i kinda like the hp range, i have several hp 9700's at the moment, and along with the latest nero version and half decent disks (tubes of 50 traxdata 16s at the moment), i can't remember the last coaster i made, maybe months ago, and i go through about 5-10 disks a day...

I use a rather old HP 9110i, but as far as I remember HP don't make CDRW drives anymore

Been very happy with it so far, and it's been over 2 years, it's definately the oldest piece of hardware on my main PC.

yeah, but dvd writers are getting pretty cheap around here at the moment, offering 4.7gb storage and perfect movie copies, no more of this 2/3 disk svcd, erm, not that i'd know of any such thing...

oh yeah, and perfectly copied xbox games

Which are the best sites?

Musicmatch.com are they any good?

s**t i'm drunk

try http://www.dabs.co.uk

mine is a Sony thingy ma bob, came with all software to convert tapes, create and burn wavs etc and has the added advantage even i can use it.

but


you will have to get someone to srip down your PC case and attach it to your system not too difficult, but too difficult for you


and yes i have shed loads of coasters but at least i can put my cranberry vodka down without marking my AE posters

I use the musicmatch.com platinum service, 24 hour music, the songs I want, and other totally groovy features, all for only 8 euro dollars a month.

Knew you'd be pleased...
