Summary: Easy and Fast!!
Review: For my first adventure inside the case of my computer, installation of this cd-rw was a breeze!!! I installed this cd-rw in no time at all into my 3 year old HP, while I was in there I upped the RAM, and we were off and running!!! (as predicted--removing the case cover from the tower was harder than the install)
Superfast Burns, MP3's previously "trapped in the computer" now playing on our stereo!!!
Technology is so cool.

Well it does but there is no cd player that recognizes the music not even the data recorded on the cd with the writer. Anybody can help? ithaku@hotmail.com

Summary: The Burner: YES, the software NOOOO!
Review: I bought this burner in march 2003 and I'm still trying to guess how to format a CD-RW, without my computer crashing....
I don't know if the original "CD Creator" or "Nero" recognise the driver but if they do, I'll recommend you to use them instead of the B's Recorder software that comes with the burner.

Summary: What? Windows XP won't install this thing?
Review: I bought this drive, and had no problems until B's CD burner tried to re-configure the thing as some kinda imaging drive. After that, I had Windows XP try to re-install the drive, but it seems to think that it's the CRX220E1 model and not the CRX220A1 model. Needless to say, the drive won't burn a single thing. There's no online support or driver downloads ANYWHERE. Not even Sony.com. Now I have to go and search for the original installation CD to see if that works. Bottom line is, this thing is great so long as you keep the original softward CD.

Summary: maybe someone can help me...
Review: I bought this item on e-bay and it works just fine, but for some reason I can only burn 2 CDs per day at the fastest speed available on this drive. I get a better chance of getting a CD burned at 8x! what could be the problem? If you have the answer please e-mail me at mikeirvan@cox-internet.comThanks,

Summary: this burner is a headache
Review: In over a year I have not been successful in getting the Sony CRX220A1 to function consistently or properly. B's software (used with this device) is so complex that anyone who does not spend most of their free time playing with these kind of devices has no chance. I am shopping around for something else!

Summary: Very Fast
Review: The installation was pretty easy. The software - B's Clip and B's Recorder took some getting used to but worked fine once I got the hang of it. I went to the Sony homepage and downloaded the latest revisions to the software - The site had good instructions and the update went smooth.
I burned a couple of music CD's then saved some files on a data CD. I'm very happy with this burner. Make sure you buy high speed blank CD's because this recorder is very fast.
