    Recording music and video? Nero isn't bad. I know a lot of people are using nero. That's just going to be personal preference.

    My HTPC runs XP professional (but home will suffice!) with MediaPortal

    Those two together make a solid pairing. XP has all the hardware support you need and is a solid platform. MediaPortal is free, does everything you need for HTPC and looks just like Windows Media Center :cool:

    For burning, as maximus said... Nero :)

    There's also MythTV is you want to try an alternative OS while you're at it.

    Shorty man you use some of the best free software around. I always look forward to when you post a link to something you are using. My boss and I were looking into "procuring" a copy of XPHTPC but all we can get from MSDN is a 180 day trial. Then you go and post the link to media portal... damn if it aint what we are looking for. When I build my htpc.. now I have the software. My boss built his and has been using xp regular to do things...

    excellent... :thumbsup:
