Sony Extreme - Google for it.
Follow the instruction sequence to ensure correct installation of the
3 parts. Goto sony's homepage for another update, making a total of 4
parts.

I have recently (1-2month) tried this 3 step Sony Extreme install
for my LG GCC-4480B CDRW/DVD-ROM combo ( 48/24/48 + 12? )

I use Win98SE, having already installed Nero express 5.5.9.9
and InCD 3.39.0?. IT works, but I like to try anything else.

It does not recognize my CD writer, unfortunately.

Does exist some later update, that I can use ?

I sent a letter to Sony back in 2002 and asked them about CD Extreme.
This what they had to say.

CD Extreme software came bundled with some of the older Sony cdrw
drives. There are free upgrades available on the Sony web site, but
the original software is not free. I will forward this message on to
Sony management. Thank you for contacting Sony Technical Support.

I posted this information in ACF as well
Message-ID: <[email protected]> I am at a
loss as to why people keep recommending it as freeware.
 
Probably because there is no registration required, only invited.
I can find nothing in the manual that prohibits re-distribution or
limits use.

I tried Nero and EasyCD Creator and they are not as good as CD Extreme
IMHO.

Sony have not done anything about restricting access/use since you
notified them a year ago?

Hello? Anyone pedantic out there? Any Lawyers looking for work?
Howabout the RIAA?

Cheers,

I can see how some people would think it's ok to use. Especially if
it is recommended by people in the newsgroup. However the company
that created the program says differently.

I'm sure the program is as good as everyone claims it is.

I don't know. I am going by what they told me in 2002. They might not
have changes how the program is re-distribution I doubt they have
changed their requirements to use the software.

Perhaps because we have no reason to place any trust in the veracity of
your anonymized posts. I also e-mailed Sony back then, pointing out
that they are distributing the software without a licence agreement to
restrict use, and I suggested they remove the DL if they wanted to stop
distributing it as freeware. I got no response, and AFAIK they
continue to distribute it the same way they did back then.
 
I don't think a lot of people can take advantage of the free program
anyway. It seems to be outdated for my system because it can't see my
cd writer. I just bought a new 52x Sony CD burner and the program
recognizes no supported drives. I even installed the latest PX Engine
update. I think Sony CDExtreme is all over. Fortunately the CD burner
came with B's Gold burning software, it is a great program! Thank you
for everyones help!
 
Sometimes the ASPI layer gets damaged or is not upto date and this can
cause no recorders being detected.

I know this is common in win 2000 & XP and sometimes can be fixed using
a program called "Force ASPI", this problem could very well happen in
previous Windows as well, but I a not sure. I just thought I would
mention it to see if it would help or would peak others memories on how
to resolve this problem of yours.

ForceASPI v1.7
http://www.radified.com/ASPI/forceaspi.htm

Theres also a ASPI Layer check program on that page too.

BTW - For my Win XP system, which is not ASPI layered as previous
Windows systems, Force ASPI allow Sony CD Extreme to work for me.

I hope this helps.

FYI - I get a 404 error when trying to download the program from
www.radified.com.
But I found it at

If it is the case, the Nero Express would not detect it well,
would it ?

not true, I have always been able to use NERO as it uses its onwn CD
Driver, not aspi anymore, and I believe WinXP unless updated from a
earler Windows did not come with ASPI.

I have had Nero installed and working and Sony CD Extreme not.
