Support page says: P. Express Burn fails every time I attempt to burn a CD There are a large number of CD/DVD drives and at this time Express Burn is incompatible with some models. Please contact us with your drive details and we will try to update Express Burn to support your drive. My comment: that's nonsense. Follow standards and your software will work every time. If it doesn't work, the reason will not be "Express Burn is incompatible with some models" but "some models are incompatible with the standards." Your excuse reveals your problem.

After Express Burn burned eight out of nine tracks, I put a blank CD in the drive and Itunes offered to burn it for me and gave me instructions on how to do it. I followed the instructions and Itunes burned all nine tracks. So it appears that Itunes can handle my hardware/software environment and Express Burn can't (can't handle yours either). I didn't even ask for Itunes; it invited itself into my system to play something I got to on the www. But it works, and it's free.

Does "standard CD" mean audio or data? I used Express Burn 3.02 free edition (I certainly won't buy it) to burn two audio CDs, and in both cases the last track was left off (only one track lost, not two). The first CD should have had three tracks but only had two, the second CD should have had 9 tracks but only had eight. I'm running in Windows XP SP2 Home. I thought the solution would be to add a dummy track at the end, but if you report that it sometimes leaves off two tracks, that won't work reliably.
