CDBurner XP Pro Version 4.0.015

I talked about CDBurner XP Pro a few months back mentioning how it was one of my favorite free CD burning programs out there. Whenever people ask me for a good program for burning CD's and music, I have always pointed them in the direction of CDBurner XP Pro!

Well I just found out that there is a new version available! Version 4.0.015!

CDBurner XP Pro has always been one of my favorite free alternatives to the big boys like Nero or Roxio. The new version seems to have a better interface than version 3, and it has more support for DVD's now. Here are some of it's key features (From their website):

*Create Data-CDs/DVDs

~burn any Data on CD-R/CD-RW/DVD+R/DVD-R/DVD+RW/DVD-RW, including double layer mediums

~burn mp3-CDs to store many audio files on one single disc

~create bootable discs

~verify written Data automatically after burning process

~use either the internal browser to add your files or the intuitive Drop-Box to drag and drop files directly from any Windows Explorer window

~save your compilations for creation of backups

~burn on-the-fly and with buffer-underrun protections

~import previous (ISO 9660) sessions and edit existing file structure on CD/DVD

~quick- and full-erase disc

~copy data discs (possible copy-protection is not bypassed)

~retrieve recorder and disc information

*Create Audio-CDs

~create Audio-CDs from mp3, wav, ogg, flac and wma files

~add single or multiple tracks from existing audio-CDs directly to your new compilation without ripping tracks before (add cda-files)

~play audio-files with integrated audio player

~gapless audio-CDs supported (disc-at-once-mode)

~import M3U or WPL playlists

~create your own ISO files

~convert bin- and nrg-files to ISO

*Other features

~simple cover printing feature for data- and audio-discs

~supports most IDE, USB, Firewire and SCSI drives

~integrated option to enable access to drive for restricted users

~multi-language interface

~online update

Unfortunately, CDBurner XP Pro doesn't have HD-DVD or Blue-Ray functionality yet, so if that is what you are looking for you may still have to look into some payware. If you are just looking for something to burn CD's or DVD's with other than the built-in Windows burner, than this will work perfectly!
