    Specifically XP. Just looking for something lightweight with no functions that im never gonna use anyway. Anyone have any recommendations? Is this any good?

    Not OS, but CDBurnerXP is pretty decent

    He even explains here why its not Open Source, being a supporter of OS himself

    Cdrdao: http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/

    Proper open source burner. Not sure if it's very advanced though. The description seems a tad basic.

    ' Cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents '

    yeah infraRecorder seems to work well - Not a windows user myself, but when asked recently by a friend for a foss replacement for Nero, a little research found infrarecorder which they said worked perfectly.

    You're not going to find a huge amount of FOSS stuff in this area sadly, I don't know why but most of it seems like shareware. I've had Infrarecorder for quite a while but eventually dumped it as I had a lot of issues (could've been just me though, who knows).

    I could recommend Alcohol, but you say you want light-weight with no features (which is exactly what I'd be after myself). I mostly use this in combination with this. The second one of those links is an absolutely excellent little app - it just burns, does absolutely NOTHING else.

    I second InfraRecorder - does everything you'll want, as fully featured a disc burner as you'll get, as much as payware gives cept' it's free and open source. Has a little compatibility trouble with burning FLAC audio files to an Audio disc but thats all. Brilliant burner.

    ImgBurn - Excellent CD / DVD burner, but not open source. Have to say though, to a first timer I'd say the interface seems complicated - so many options, but eventually you'll know what you need and what you don't need to look at.

    I used to use CD Burner XP, until repeated failures + bad UI made me switch. I much prefer this now. (If you want music support, make sure that you get the mp3 addon)
