If you've installed a CD or DVD writer drive, chances are that Nero came with it. Nero is great for burning music CDs, data backups, and DVDs, but it can do a whole lot more! Combining the best parts of a media player, a design program, a sound editor, and a video editor, Nero makes it possible for you to create CDs and DVDs that will knock your socks off.

Best-selling computer book author Wallace Wang takes you step-by-step through all of Nero's capabilities, without any unnecessary jargon. You'll learn how to:

* Burn CDs -- Make mixes and archive favorite albums (even from tapes and records!)
* Edit mixes -- Remove pauses and balance tracks
* Back up data -- Schedule automated backups
* Create slide shows -- Set all those digital photos to music!
* Burn DVDs -- And edit video, too!
* Design your own labels and covers
* Edit sound files -- Remove hisses and pops from old recordings, adjust levels and more!
* Use Nero to play movies and music
