I've been using Adaptec's Easy CD Creator (basic version came with my Yamaha
burner, and I upgraded to Deluxe V3.5), and it seems to be able to handle noise
rather well, considering how simple the interface is. It's pretty much set up
for ease of use by the largest audience, but from what I've done with it so

Adaptec's software will also handle data-burns, so it's easy to put, say, Lego
instruction scans to CD-R. :)
As for pricing, I can walk into a FutureShop and get a spindle of 50-75 CD-R's
for anywhere from 49.95 to 79.95, depending on brand. I don't think you're
gonna get too much better than that. Keep in mind though that I'm in Canada -
the per-unit tax is now in effect.
