Topic: Free CD burning software?

[timP]

any rec's?

I now have as main computer a older DELL that has no burning software.

One thing I found for free online burns discs, but with 2sc gaps....


I have heard Nero is good, but is it free?


thanks for any help

Nero is not free.

I use and like CDBurnerXP.

While not free, it's shareware just like CD Wave, you can download and test my favorite CD burning program Feurio.

http://www.feurio.com/

note: it doesn't burn DVDs but it does include a very simple audio editor if all you need to add is fades and do minor volume adjustments it's all you need

Just to add that while Nero is not free, it does come bundled with alot of drives if you buy a new burner.

I've used cdburnerxp as well.

foobar2000.  Reads, plays, transcodes, labels, rips and burns.  It is free.

love foobar!  had no idea it burnt.  I don't burn audio anymore for myself so I had no idea.  does it decode the flacs on the fly like nero?

[newplanet7]

How does one burn with foobar2000?
I grabbed the add-on component and dropped it in the folder
but it gives no mention of burning in any of the drop down menus.


EDIT:
Found out how to do it and using it now to see how it works.
Thanks for the heads up boojum, as I had no idea there was a plug in for it.

I am not sure, but I believe that it does.  If it does not there is CD Wave editor or Burrrn.

I use Burrrn for CD-Audio discs.  And Burrrn does burn FLACs without you having to decode to WAVs (it does it automatically).

CdburnerXP is good. Foobar is of course good. Had no idea that there was a plug-in for burning. Over the years, my favorite program for burning audio has always been EAC. I would highly suggest googlin' "open source burning software". You can't go wrong w/ open source software. The best app I've found that handles all my needs of burning data dvd's, cdr's, + audio  is infrarecorder. It's a powerful & very helpful program. Does exactly what it says it does. Check it out: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/

Download at your own risk.  Kaspersky immediately identifies a trojan as soon as you are redirected to the download page

referring to the link to infrarecorder software...sorry

Which of these would be best for copying cd's in Windows 7?

Looks like cdburnerxp is only for burning. I know I could use EAC or something else to extract the files, but I'm looking for one-click copying, like Nero does. Any advice?

[Brian Skalinder]

Looks like cdburnerxp is only for burning.

It will copy audio discs, too.

Thanks, BS!
Talk about convenience, cdburnerxp also converts flacs! Good stuff.

[gkatz]

just started using burrrn recently, I really like the simple interface. works real well, and decodes flac on the fly

Nero 8 Micro

I used to use burrrn, but often got lots of errors, missing tracks when decoding flacs...
cdburnerxp seems much better so far

[rastasean]

it seems like from everyone's recommendations you want to burn FLAC but you didn't write that. I'll mention the one that doesn't burn FLACs but it does mp3, wav, aiff, and aaac.

itunes.

EAC burns disks, does it not?

EAC is awesome, free for a postcard
