Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Though this multifaceted burning tool won't win any beauty awards, it has almost everything Windows users need to create CDs and DVDs. One of the most glaring needs for Windows XP users is a DVD burner, and CDBurnerXP Pro fits the bill well. Despite a slightly confusing interface, this freeware tool should not disappoint users who take the time to familiarize themselves with its functionality.
The core of the program's feature set consists of three main tasks, which are prompted via a wizard upon start-up: writing data CDs and DVDs, creating CDs for audio playback, and ripping music from CDs or editing ID3 tags. Canceling the wizard results in a rather blank blue screen with only a few selections in the toolbar. In order to work on a new project, you'll need to select one of the options, which can be brought back via the "New document" icon in the upper left. Unfortunately, you can't even open an existing project without selecting one of the wizard options first.
The program supports both burnproof and on-the-fly disc writing, as well as bootable ISO files, but it cannot burn double-layer DVDs, a feature promised for version 3.5, which is currently in alpha development. While it may take users some time to learn how to use it effectively, CDBurnerXP Pro is a competent tool and a great value.

Version: CDBurnerXP Pro 3.0.116
"The best freeware cd burning software available."
Pros: Its free.
It burns .ISO image files.
A wonderful XP look and feel to the program.
Like Roxio and Nero, allows you to build data and audio CD projects.
Comes with built in CD ripping capabilities (it rips to MP3)...with the ability to add ID3 tags to the ripped MP3s.
Cons: It only burns .ISO files. It doesn't burn the likes of .BIN/.CUE, .IMG, .NRJ, etc.
No ability to make bootable data CD projects (however you can burn bootable .ISO files and have them work).

"Think of this as like a free version of Nero."
Pros: Free, works with the recorders in all my PC's, offers a lot of options.
Cons: Only problem with this program is the Audio CD burning. even with a 40X CD-ROM drive, it still burns only one track at a time. Overall, very good program.
