On the other hand, Ashampoo Burning Studio can also be used to print and design covers, labels and booklets. Furthermore, the latest version Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 comes with Expert Functions feature that able to create modified copy of an existing CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc and create the data disc by using advanced settings. In addition, Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010 comes with a simple and user-friendly interface that suitable for both proficient and novices. I just happen to think that they did this product right, and I wouldn't mind a bit if the world started using it instead of such as Nero or Roxio.Ashampoo Burning Studio is a popular disc burning software application for Windows operating system that performs burn, rip audio CDs, copy discs, create high-quality DVD slide shows, backup data, and erase rewriteable discs.

Some of its products are good, and some suck. At any rate, my enthusiasm has nothing to do with any kind of relationship between me and Ashampoo. though I admit that I do love "ImgBurn" and even "CD Burner XP," just generally.

Truth is, I'd much prefer it if one or more of the freeware products out there were as good as "Ashampoo Burning Studio." But none quite are. All-in-one.Īmong the commercial products of its type, this is the one to pick.ĭisclaimer: I know my review, here, is enthusiastic but I promise that I am not an employee of, friend of, lackie of, shill for, or am in any other way related to or benefit from Ashampoo and/or any of its products. But "Ashampoo Burning Studio 9.x" knows exactly what it's trying to be, and does so with aplomb. Nero has gotten so huge and unwieldy and Roxio can't decide what it wants to be and has gotten even more out of control.

The higher-end "Ashampoo Burning Studio 9.x" product has finally, in my opinion, become best-of-breed among products of its type.

So good is just the freeware "Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009" that in my opinion, PC makers like HP, Gateway and Dell (and all others) should immediately stop inflicting feature-reduced, bloatware versions of Roxio and/or Nero onto its users, and include the installer (for those who'd like it, as an option) for "Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009". Even that is almost as good as (or, in some areas, maybe even better than) certainly Roxio. There's a feature-reduced version called "Ashampoo Burning Studio 2009" that can be had for free out on the Internet if one knows where to dig around for it. Starting with this version of Ashampoo Burning Studio (version 9.05, as of this writing), this product is finally actually better in just about every way than Roxio, and will easily stand-up to Nero.
