If you search the web, you'll find a large number of software packages that will let you try for a trial period - usually a couple of weeks - for free. You can either experiment and find the one you want, and pay up after the trial, or save up all your disc-ing and have a md splurge within the trial period.
However, i have many CD's that wont play in certain CD players, (I make copies of my CD's to play in my car etc), it was only recently that i have discovered, it was the labels causing this, so now, i dont put labels on at all and all my copies play!
