Burning MP3 CDs using Windows Vista
For many months, I have clinched my fist in anger at Windows Vista (not punching or anything, since I like my laptop) because its native data CD burning process does not work the same as Windows XP's, and as a result MP3 CDs burned in Windows Vista do not work in my car's MP3 CD player. All I wanted out of Vista was a sensible upgrade over XP that simply kept its most useful features -- improvements are a welcome bonus, but downgrades are unexpected.
Enter CDBurnerXP. I had hoped to avoid installing third-party software, especially since everything I've found so far seems to require some sort of payment. Well, this one burns MP3 CDs with their folder structure intact, so it's okay with me.
Complaint #1 about Windows Vista, resolved with a workaround.
