Recently while browsing some tweaking guides, I came accross a recomendation I've not heard before. They indicated having more than 1 burning program causes conflicts and problems. Has anyone heard this before. I have 5 or 6 different programs I use. Should I wank them? Space is not a concern for me. I have plenty of hard drive space.
Multiple CD/DVD burning programs

I've never had a problem before... and at one point I had all these installed:
Nero
cdrwin
clonecd
and dickjuggler .... er I mean disk juggler.
and then a couple dvd burning softwares that elude me at the moment.
Never had a problem that whole time. Sure 5 or 6 of them isn't a huge amount, but I'd say if I can have 6 installed at once, then having more probably wouldn't affect it unless the one that set you over the edge would have done it even if it was alone.

I'd advise against installing more than one (less than one would be ideal) of anything that hijacks the SCSI interface for ATIP-hiding, copy protection emulation, and the like on an actual drive (I believe CloneCD integrates something like this, maybe a couple others do too). Programs that only rip/master/burn shouldn't really conflict unless they come packaged with their own ASPI or other SCSI interface driver (I think this is mostly only a problem with a few obscure burning programs like Gear), but to have multiple black magic programs installed is asking for trouble.
