Nero 9 Lite claims to be a full-service CD burning program. While it looks like a great tool for burning data and music disks, its trial limits kept us from truly finding out what it can do.
The program's interface features a professionally designed layout that flows well from one command to the next. It felt so natural that we weren't upset that Nero doesn't offer any sort of Help file or instructions. Unfortunately, we didn't get to fully experience this program much beyond admiring its layout. While it boasts many tools for burning and ripping music, backing up data, building photo slideshows and more, they're mostly disabled during the software's trial period. However, we were able to create and burn a data disk. This was a smooth, two-step process that went quickly and produced an accurate copy of our data on a recordable CD. We can only hope the rest of the program operates just as effortlessly. Nero 9 Lite seems a bit slim in the special features department--those are most disabled, too--though its option to adjust burning speed seems like a helpful way to keep your computer from slowing down or freezing up. While Nero 9 Lite looked like a home run, we can't really draw much of a conclusion due to its trial limitations.
Nero 9 Lite has the aforementioned trial limits. It installs desktop icons without permission. While the program looked great, we couldn't fully test it and thus can't recommend it.

Pros
Cannot Put Forth Any Legitimate Pros
Cons
Cannot Put Forth Any Legitimate Cons
Summary
Simply Put, I received a LG GP08NU6B USB CD/DVD Burner, as a Gift! It was some what misleading about the Software that cam with the device, by CyberLink, I am still listed as a "Bronze Member' and License's show that I should be able to use there Power2Go V6.02, however, any time I load the Software, Non-Function seems to be the best Description, if I use there Power2Go V5.5, I am still very limited on what I can Burn With this Device? Even Simple Data Burn to a DVD seems to Crash, just before it is Finished?? I have heard many, tell me that Ahead/Nero is one of the best DVD Burning Software Available, but I have yet, to experienced this Successfully???

"Junk. Mandatory toolbar install, cant make music CDs."
Version: Nero BurnLite 10.0.105
Pros
Only good for getting a toolbar forced on you with the install, and copying a disk you already have.
Cons
This program does very little unless you buy the full version, it cant even make a damn music disk.
Summary
More and more companies now a days provide "free" stuff just to try and scam you into buying something, pathetic ********. This should not even be in the free section...

"NOT a program; merely a purchasing platform."
Version: Nero BurnLite 10.0.105
Pros
pretty, but...
Cons
unusable. (The idea is to lure you into downloading and installing the program, so you will buy it. As the CNET review says, it refuses to do most anything you want during the trial.)
Summary
Pretty Unusable.
