SilentNight Micro CD Burner gets my attention because it's portable. The standalone executable file requires no installation, runs from a USB keychain drive (or your hard drive) and lacks the overhead of more complicated apps like Nero or Easy Media Creator. When all you want to do is make a copy of a disc or back up a few files, this app saves you the time of waiting for all those extra features you don't need to load in the background. Micro CD Burner creates CD-Audio disks, in addition to data disks and also creates ISO files if you want to make a CD or DVD image. If you want to author a DVD you need a burner with more features, but for all other burning tasks SilentNight Micro CD Burner is more than enough burning power."</i><br /><br />I grabbed this app simply to have it with me on my USB flash drive - you never know when you'll run across a PC with a CD burner that doesn't have working CD burner software. This is especially common with older machines and the utterly horrible early versions (3.x) of Easy CD Creator (the newer versions rock!).

I must get myself a flash drive. My current setup is a 1GB SD card and a JumpDrive Trio, which is a little large.

Any recommendations as to a small, fast, reliable flash drive?

I'm not sure what's available in Canada, but over here, I can get something like this (http://www.astone.com.au/computer_usb.htm) for cheap. Extremely small, spacious and fast. :)

That's very similar to what I'm looking for, but I kinda like the speed of this (http://www.lexar.com/jumpdrive/lightning.html). If it were 1/2-2/3 as long, I'd be all over it.

This is what I use:

Works like a charm, very fast, and very small. I have a 1GB version.

But if it's full of music, how do you use it for data? :-) Or do you keep it half full of music and half for other things?
