There was a recent thread titled "Software for CD-Recording" that I found informative. You might look there for some information on software choices and opinions.
I'm not sure if you are having problems with the software itself, or just dislike the user interface, however, I initially had difficulties in trying to get my burner to work correctly, and had to try several disk brands before I found one that I could use reliably. In my case it may very well have been the hardware and not the software though. My family has been using it for data and music files fairly reliably, with a pretty low failure rate since.
Best of luck.
