Editor's review of Burn4Free CD and DVD

This CD and DVD burner works as advertised, but the bundled toolbar it installs reduces its appeal. Burn4Free CD & DVD lets you burn audio discs or write data to CDs and DVDs by dropping audio or data files into the main window.

The button-heavy main window has a somewhat awkward look, but it's easy enough to understand. If you find yourself overwhelmed by the multitude of controls, you can switch to the more streamlined Easy mode. Be aware that the app attempts to install the NavExcel toolbar, which changes the way IE behaves when you mistype a URL or enter one of NavExcel's recognized keywords into the address bar.

Budget-minded users may not care, but even they have plenty of other cheap and free options. We'd prefer to burn discs with our jukebox of choice or pay for a more full-featured, less invasive application.

  For CD's its okay

  by: bubarri on 05-Jul-2008 01:16:02 AM

  Pros: About the only psitive thing is that I have written audio CD's which can be played on nearly any CD player I have tried even very old CD players.

  Cons: The directing you to webpages to buy things you don't want. The intrusive toolbar which however you can disable both in Firefox and IE. Can't see how one can write a DVD with it for use on anything.
