Your fav' audio CD burner?
Nod5:
Hi Curt, I would also suggest InfraRecorder http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/ . It's the only burning tool that I've used on windows for some time now. It's small, quick, clean and up to date. There is also a portable version:

If you really want to go back to Nero you can download Nero Lite http://updatepack.nl/ and use your licence key on that. It is significantly smaller. It seems to exist in a legal grey zone but has been around for quite some time so I guess Nero doesn't mind that much.

Because I'm in the mood, I'll round things out a bit for the Linux crowd who might be interested... ;D
I can definitely recommend Linux users look no further than K3b for CD burning.

It will rip and burn ISO's, make Audio CD's from your MP3 collection, add files to multisession disks, Rip Audio from CD's, all kinds of stuff.
Yeah, the Gnome folks complain it uses Qt and blah blah blah, but no other tool comes close, and I've tried many.
-CdrBQ was very powerful, but had a funky interface with too many options that, if you didn't know what the functions did, made coasters.
-XfBurn was nice, integrated with Xfce, but vastly underpowered.
-Serpentine looked nice, but was only for burning Audio CD's (which it did well...)
-Brasero was very nice, but it made two coasters when I was trying to burn onto multi-session disks.
That's all I have, and for the record, on Windows I always used Nero Express. Did what I wanted without getting in the way.

You could download a portable ZIP package from the developer.

Forgive my ignorance, but what are coasters? -and why exactly "coasters"?

Coaster=CD that did not burn properly and is therefore unreadable.
Coaster because it is shaped like a drink coaster and that's all its good for.
