CNET Editors' review
This CD and DVD burner works as advertised, but the bundled toolbar it installs reduces its appeal. Burn4Free CD & DVD lets you burn audio discs or write data to CDs and DVDs by dropping audio or data files into the main window.
The button-heavy main window has a somewhat awkward look, but it's easy enough to understand. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the multitude of controls, you can switch to the more streamlined Easy mode. Be aware that the app attempts to install the NavExcel toolbar, which changes the way IE behaves when you mistype a URL or enter one of NavExcel's recognized keywords into the address bar.
Budget-minded users may not care, but even they have plenty of other cheap and free options. We'd prefer to burn discs with our jukebox of choice or pay for a more full-featured, less invasive application.

"No need to try"
Version: Burn4Free DVD Burning 6.0
Pros
Free......
Cons
Poor interface, forced installs
-
"Dreadful download"
Version: Burn4Free DVD Burning 6.0
Pros
None but to be fair I did not get as far as operating the prog.
Cons
As much trouble as a virus! I ticked 'custom' then read reviews as got suspicious and realised that it is full of junk. I tried to exit without asking it to download but it still went through a full download which then became difficult to fully remove. Use DVD Flick.
Summary
Avoid at all costs! Or at least do your research first to see what you are letting yourself in for!

"not sure what there definition of free is?"
Version: Burn4Free DVD Burning 6.0
Pros
Its ok and you can drag and drop songs if you play with it. Here's my deal. Swear I downloaded FREE version but while doing it they ask if you want player and other products - those are not free. For some reason after 14 days they wanted me to buy it and I questioned how it got from Free to pay for.
Cons
Its ok is all. If you buy all the components you'll spend over $100.
ONE BIGGY - company is in Australia so you would be giving credit card info to someone out of the country. Good luck with that. I'm not doing it.Summary
