Cool CD Burner for Windows

Used Cool CD Burner for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This straightforward CD-burning utility offers all the essentials and handles its main job without incident, though its strange design makes creating a disc a somewhat convoluted process. Unlike most similar programs we've tested, Cool CD Burner doesn't have a built-in pane for browsing your PC, requiring you to open Windows Explorer; find the correct folder; pull up the program's interface; and drag and drop music, data, or ISO files into the queue. Other than that, the application is easy to use, featuring clearly labeled icons for erasing and burning discs, as well as a drop-down box for selecting write speeds of up to 32X. In our tests, the program didn't demonstrate supersonic speeds but burned discs reasonably quickly. Happily, the trial version allows you to burn as many discs as you want for 15 days, much less restrictive than many demo burners on the scene. If you can live with its annoying design miscue, Cool CD Burner makes a decent choice.

Add or remove track, jumble track list. Music skips.
CaperGrrlNovember 25, 2010
Pros
Simple, intuitive.
Cons
If you add or remove a track when creating a specific playlist order, it jumbles it up. Even on the lowest burning setting, 10X, tracks skip. Could be my computer, or that you should leave computer alone completely when burning.
Summary
I had high expectations for this program, the editor and user ratings were high. But either my computer is slow and messed up (which I suppose is possible) or the problems I described above are typical. I don't even think the software has buffer underrun protection. Trying Free East CD DVD Burner next.
Don't bother. Tracker cookie attached.

I use it and love it. You can get it "free" too. Read on:

Pros
Go to the coolburner site and look at the top right corner for "Get it free". I like everything about it. You just have to remember to go to the top settings and make sure you've got the settings you want ticked. Also, for burning Video_TS DVD's, you want to be sure and drag over the Audio_TS too. Other programs automatically create the Audio folder but Cool Burner doesn't and some older dvd players want it.
Cons
The only "con" is that it doesn't do disk to disk copy. You'll have to find something else for that.
Summary
Pretty good
