For most people, simple burning software is all we need on a day-to-day level. Some of the popular burning applications have migrated in to multimedia production suites over the last few years, which means they ship on a DVD-based installer, rather than a simple download to burn data and audio CDs.
Some software developers have recognised this and there are now many smaller simple burning tools that do a few things well – burn data, audio CDs and produce disc labels. Nero have also recognised a need for this market and have released a free basic version of their burning suite.
Nero Free is a simple cut-down version of the full burning package and enables you to burn discs, quickly. Quite a few features are missing. With any free burning software, you won’t be able to work with MP3 files or burn a DVD, due to the lack of an MPEG-2 codec. If you need these features, you’ll need to upgrade to the full version.
There’s no time limit on this application and it’s completely free.

Do you agree?
Crippleware?
There are many freeware programs which offer this and a lot more without being obliged to upgrade to perform basic tasks. I suggest people have a look at deepburner or cdburnerxp which take care of the majority of needs.

Chocolate Fireguard
As much use as a chocolate fireguard. No worthwhile features. Not worth the affort of downloading.

CDBurnerxp
Totally agree with you Bob, the free program cd burner xp is far supperior and will complete most tasks. I have used it for a couple of years now and it has always been reliable and does not hog the resources like Nero does.
