Where can I find a CDRW dirve emulator, so I can burn from any program to an
image file (not Nero, please...)?

thanx

That sounds like an overly complicated way of doing things.

Why don't you instead copy or move files to a special folder or
partition, and you can later create an ISO file from that folder or
partition, if you want to have an ISO file of the content.

That's not what I need. I have a program which can only burn discs and not
save to image, but I NEED its features, so I'd need a freeware as I
explained below.

again, thank you

Okay, then you need some software which can pretend to be a hardware CD
burner, and install it as such.

I have never heard of such software, and I doubt very much that it
exists. But good luck looking for it :-)

I am still convinced though, that you are trying to do something in a
complicated way which could be achieved easier by other means.

Either you could tell us about the special features that program has
which needs a CD burner to work, so we can tell you about other ways to
do the same things.

Or, buy a CD-RW burner and install it, so that program is satisfied.

I do not think you can find some software which can pretend to be a
hardware CD burner. It would have to be a very special program, because
there is a lot of communication going on between a burner program and a
hardware burner unit, buffers filling up, speed adjustments, sending
bytes at a certain rate, writing beginning and end sequences, etc..

Sorry, but I think you're out of luck. DAEMON Tools specifically said in
it's help file that they'd never implement such a "useless feature".

So what is the burning software that is so great you can't replace with ISO
making tools?

Well, in fact they're two programs. The first is a wave editor where you can
put markers, so that you can burn a single wave file to several splitted
tracks. But you can't save those tracks as single wave files - what I'd
need!
The second is Musicmatch Burner Plus. As far as I know it's the only program
supporting the multiaudio tracklist burning, which would give you more
options on enabled mp3 cd players. The problem is it's not fully
customizable (if you create a mp3 cd, then you can put only mp3s there... I
usually burn mp3+lyrics CDs), so I would burn to image and then edit that
image adding the files I need...
If you know about other softwares (better if free) supporting that Multiadio
(MUA) tracklists, it would be great (info about MUA: www.osta.org )

Or, buy a CD-RW burner and install it, so that program is satisfied.

I DO have a cd-rw burner... but I don't want to burn if the CD is not as I
want it!

Well, so what about Nero's Iso Recorder? The problem is that works only with
Nero!
