my HP latop came with SonicNow! Delux version 7 this is the fastest for me. making a cd for the car takes 3-4 minutes with it. i've tried winamp 5.xx but that takes 15-20 minutes. and...windows media player takes me about 20 minutes.
it's real simple and there is a drag and drop feature with guide that shows how much space is left on the cd.
