Stay away from the new version of Easy CD creator, the latest version 7 is
horrible with accessibility, it's almost useless with a screen reader, all
versions before that were alright, but version 6 is the only one that works
with XP and you'd have to get a patch for that to make it work with XP. Nero
still works with screen readers though, and I think it's cheaper.
