> Easy CD Creator does *not* format a CD-RW """What's your definition of *format* ? EZCD 6.0 does format CD-RWs, and can prepare the disk for Drag-n-Drop usage (packet writing), which is great for manipulating individual files on the disk. Don't come back and say that EZ 6.0 does not format, when I have formatted CDRWs quite a few times with it already, though it takes time to do so.
> that is the other method of making CDs using the related Direct CD.Umm, he said Roxio Easy CD Creator version 6.0, in which it has the Drag-n-Drop feature, and is essentially the same function as Direct CD in versions 4. 0* through 5. ** ! What other method is there (other than the name differences) with packet writing software made by Roxio?
> Although the inbuilt burning*looks* like that approach, it isn't and there is no formattingYou are totally gormless, as what does this have to do with your statement about Roxio's product? It seems you have confused your whole post!

>You are a total pillock on this one! It does too (pre)format ("pre-format" being a bad term, since one is either formatted or not) a disk for packet writing (how else could it prepare the disk for this use?). I just performed this task the other day with my EASY CD version 6 Drag-n-Drop formatting process (since it needs to do that anyway to be able to use this feature), so I could drag-n-drop files I recieve on the fly, for storage. I have 4 blank disks formatted now to UDF format using the format process under the Drag-n-Drop command, to be used specifically for this use.
