 RC> What limitations have you learned about? I'd be curious to hear.

Roxio doesn't support VBR (variable bit rate) mp3's.  According to them,
VBR is not "standard".    I discovered Roxio's/ECDC's limitations
with VBR when I happend to be burning a disc with several VBR mp3's and
noticed that upon playback the recording seemed to get cut off prematurely.
  On one originally 20 minute recording, I only ended up with 12 minutes of
it.

Meanwhile, I learned that if I convert the VBR mp3's to WMA, and then burn
the WMA files onto disc, I get the full length recording.

I've also learned that NERO Burning supports VBR files quite nicely.
