BurnAware Free for Windows

User Reviews

• GREAT SOFTWARE!!! LOVE IT!

  RogerCary2/22/2018

  Pros

  Burns a full DVD in about 6 minutes, not sure why it took the Download.com reviewer 45 minutes to burn a DVD. Easy to use.

  Cons

  Absolutely none.

  Summary

  I download the FREE VERSION WITHOUT OPTIONAL OFFERS located near the bottom of the company's download page.

• Didn't work! Screwed up my Internet Browser defaults.

  dragon789wv1/3/2018

  Pros

  NONE!!!! Do not use this piece of garbage. Wish I could give it a MINUS 10!

  Cons

  NOTHING! It didn't burn a CD from .WMA files completely, and there were errors on all 3 of the CDs that I tried. Errors popped up and at least 6 files out of ... 12 (?) did not play. Not only that, but all my Firefox web browser defaults were completely messed up. It replaced it with default of "BING' as my Home Page, so I had to redo for my own browser defaults. Couple questions for CNET: Doesn't CNET check this stuff out? Why is this garbage allowed on CNET? When I looked to see if there were any Reviews, it showed ZERO reviews! Only when I clicked on Reviews (unfortunately AFTER I already downloaded and tried it), then I saw what others had written about this piece of garbage. CNET is really getting to be a whore - getting paid to put stuff like this out without a bad review. And it is most annoying to have that Popup that tells you, every time about Free Software, and it doesn't go away, but remains on the screen. PLUS their video that's very tiring, time after time...

  Summary

  Stay away from this piece of garbage... (I'm being nice - there's other 4-letter words!

  Billy Te5/4/2017

  Pros

  Drag and drop is literally the only upside

  * Ruined 2 of my expensive Blue Ray M-Discs because of temporary source failure (if it loses connection to an external hard drive, it irrecoverably fails) * Ruined ANOTHER fucking M-Disc for no fucking good reason, it finished writing and then failed to complete. FUCKING PIECE OF ASSHOLE FUCKING GARBAGE COCKSHIT CUNTSACK CRACKTARD SHITWRANGLER

  Summary

  FUCK THIS PROGRAM. DIE IN A GODDAMN FIRE YOU ASSHOLES THAT BUILT BURNAWARE.

• Criminal organization

  Powell7009/19/2016

  Pros

  At least it didn't freeze my computer!

  Cons

  Obviously this is a criminal organization.

  Summary

  Tried to upgrade from free application and paid for upgrade through third party purchasing agency. Get a message saying the file cannot be downloaded. Contacted third party agency to cancel order and was informed that BurnAware will not refund money. This constitutes illegal denial of service.

• NEVER worked on any of my computers -Windows XP thru 10

  GlamourDomme12/21/2015

  Pros

  Program NEVER worked so NONE

  Cons

  constant error codes on 3 different computers from Windows XP thru 10; not for me or even a recording studio engineer!

  Summary

  Because I never let my ego get in the way of thinking that I could never make a mistake, I've asked 5 different people (including recording engineers and software designers) to try to get this program to work on 3 different ASUS laptops and this program ONLY destroyed discs during recording and gave errors claiming "incompatible file format." Meanwhile, other programs burned the files without issue.

• Loving it.

  Alec Armour8/17/2015

  Pros

  Nice easy interface. Versatile. Seems to work very well.

  Cons

  None so far.

  Summary

  This is the best free burning software I've tried so far and I've tried a few.

• WARNING : LATEST VERSION ONLY PRETENDS TO BURN CD'S !!!

  rocketcab3/27/2015

  Pros

  I primarily used "BurnAware Free" software for making music CD's.... The older versions worked well.... This "Version 7.9" only makes a pretense of burning a CD.... In short, the software is useless.

  Cons

  Program "goes through the motions" of burning a CD.... However, when the finished product is played, nothing happens....

  Summary

  Thank goodness, it only cost me two (2) blank CD's to figure out this latest version of "BurnAware Free" is total garbage.
