Ashampoo CD Recording Suite 4.01

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff on December 07, 2008

With the cost of CD and DVD media so low, discs now are the preferred mode for backing up, sharing, and transporting data. The good-looking, easy-to-use Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 comes with all the tools most users will need to create audio, data, and video CDs and DVDs. The latest version supports Blu-ray discs and allows you to back up and restore data across multiple CDs. Other features let you burn disc images, erase media, and make copies. The intuitive step-by-step interface keeps you moving in the right direction and makes it hard to screw up. To set up a burn session, you can simply drag and drop files into a playlist-style window. We like the handy, omnipresent gauge at the bottom of the window, which let us know how much free space we had left. Audio CDs can be made from file types including WAV, MP3, OGG, and WMA. Ashampoo Burning Studio doesn't have all the advanced features you'll find in huge packages such as Nero, but average users won't miss them. Ashampoo Burning Studio's simplicity and broad range of tools make it a superb choice for most burning needs.

Publisher's description

From Ashampoo :

This CD-burning application makes it easy to create and copy your own data, video, audio and multisession CDs. Just drag your files into the program and burn your data, video or audio CD. Create MP3 CDs; burn a movie as a VideoCD (VCD) or a SuperVideo CD (SVCD); create and burn CD images; load and save project files; erase CD-RWs; drag and drop files directly from Windows Explorer. The program supports filenames with up to 64 characters, including spaces. Burn speed and other options can be set automatically. The software burns WAV, MP3, FLAC & Ogg Vorbis files directly to audio CDs without any plug-ins. It's easy to copy audio and data CDs with integrated support for more than 1,500 CD burners. The program also helps you save money on CD blanks. Since the program produces multisession CDs, you can always add more files later, provided the disc isn't completely full. 10 additional languages included: Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Russian, Polish, Hungarian, Czech, Slowenia.

Version 4.01 adds Japanese and Chinese language support.
