Sorry, i can't help you with making Easy CD Creator go faster in audio burns, but i do have one thing to say. I have had trouble burning CD's for a while after i put my new CD-writer into my new computer that i just built. Every time i would open CD creator and start burning a CD, after the first couple of tracks the program would freeze or my computer will restart by itself. I've tried tons of stuff to get it working, but i finally gave up on my cd-writer and cd creator. One day, however, while i was out shopping, i saw nero 5.0, which was a cd burning utility. I decided to give it a shot and found out that it burned a lot better than easy cd creator and didn't cause problems on my new system (easy cd creator also went a little bit slower when i was burning audio on my old system). So, my advice: if you really wanna burn some good CD's, ditch easy cd creator and just plop down a couple bucks for nero 5.0. Sorry i can't help you with your easy cd creator prob though.
