Also, most online suppliers will sell you an OEM Nero lite CD for about a fiver. You may have to buy something else to justify the OEM purchase though, not sure.
I think Nero are up to Version 9 atm.
On my media machine I recently purchased the full version of dbPoweramp (cos imo it's very good and I didn't mind paying for good software, it cost £25.00) and it has it's own basic CD burner with it, so I'm using that.
