CDBurnerXP

About

CDBurnerXP is a free, proprietary optical disc authoring application originating from Sweden, designed for Windows. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools for burning various optical media, including CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVDs, alongside capabilities to create and burn ISO images, convert BIN-to-ISO and NRG-to-ISO, and burn Audio CDs. The software is lauded for its multilanguage interface, lightweight nature, portability, command-line interface, and offline functionality, also supporting LightScribe. Positioned as a strong, free alternative to commercial software like Nero, and often considered superior to many paid applications, it is acknowledged to be less feature-rich than ImgBurn. A notable aspect of its history is the inclusion of OpenCandy adware in its default installer, though users can opt for clean download versions. Despite no longer being actively developed, CDBurnerXP remains a reliable tool, particularly praised for its ease in adding CD text information.
