Summary: Buyer Beware - Noooo support
Review: Nero has the potential of being the best, most user friendly burning software around. I've used a dozen applications over the past 3 or 4 years and Nero has the potential to be the best. Where Nero falls down is support. If everything works for you...great! If you happen to have a legitimate problem, one that fall out side of the FAQ, and self-help section of Nero.com, you're out of luck. There is no forum to get your issue resolved. Not only have you bought a product you can't use but you've spent hours trying to solve a common problem. If you are a basic user just getting digital files this may be the product for you. If you are a power user who may have files on servers, long directory paths to files you want to copy or backup you may want to stay away.

Summary: Does everything without any problems.
Review: I've used many CD-writing applications, and can honestly say Nero Burning ROM is the best. Its user-interface is very simple, yet allows you to change even the most advanced settings for burning. You can easily add CD titles, and specifify different preferences for the CD. It comes with both versions - Plain Nero, and Nero Express. Nero Express is just a simpler version that may appeal more to users who don't know their way around the computer all that well. Now, I'm not one of them, but I still prefer Nero Express for its simplicity and quickness to start the burning process.Nero can burn anything, from data CD's to music CD's, and even Video CD's (or VCD), that can play in your DVD player. Do yourself a favor--if you're looking for a good program to help you burn CD's, go with Nero!

Summary: Will I ever get a copy of ANYTHING?
Review: I have tried to use Nero 5.1 and 5.5.10. I cannot get this thing to burn a CD or a DVD. I've tried to burn an image to no avail. I've tried other programs in conjunction with Nero like DVD Decrypter, DVD Shrinker. Either it doesn't recognize my CD or DVD, gives error messages in the burn process, or it will burn and not play. I've used Easy CD Creator to burn CD's with no problem. I've burned DVD's with DVD X Copy Express and Record Now MX with no problem. I've printed the manual and studied everything. I have a Sony DRU500AX burner with an AMD Athlon 1600 processor running on XP. I am not a newbie to computers. I have been a computer user for 25 years. I hear nothing but rave reviews about Nero, and I just don't get it. E:mail me if you have any suggestions, because I've tried to use this piece of junk on and off for a year and half now. NOTHING HAS BEEN BURNED. NOTHING. Zero stars...

Summary: Be Careful with OEM versions
Review: I bought this in an OEM version without any warning. After I've installed, the program do not work with my Sony IEEE1394 firewire drive. The message was that this OEM version is not embeded in your CD!

Summary: Makes burning fast and easy!
Review: All I want to do is burn CD's. I want to burn mp3's. I want to burn audio CD's. I want to burn my favorite software. I want to burn anything of value to archive and back-up. Nero makes all of this easy. I just select the particular kind of CD I'm going to burn and then it shows me my hard drive, after which I select whatever files I want to burn. There's a disk space meter at the bottom of the program window. It's especially helpful when burning mp3's. It's quite easy to go over the limit when adding files to burn, and Nero will show exactly how much space your disk will have, or how much space you need to free up if you've added too many. Adding files is as easy as clicking and dragging. One window is your harddrive, the other window is the files selected for burning. I suppose there are more complicated, feature-rich programs out there but Nero is everything I need to burn my CD's easily, quickly, and painlessly. I got my copy free with my CD burner, but I'd gladly buy it if I needed to. It's worth every penny.

Summary: Used it for 2 years now, never going back
Review: I've used Nero, EZCD, and a few other Cd-writing packages, and Nero is tops. there's no cd-writing task I can't do with it; everything from copying MP3's to Audio Cd's, burning Video CD's, and even hybrid audio/data Cd's are a breeze. Nero will definitely be in my software arsenal for a long time.

Summary: Nero
Review: For starters,Nero is not the best.Neither is Roxio or any of the
other ones mentioned.They're consumer level burning rom.If you
want the best burning rom available you better save up some cash
Nero is, however,very good.I use on two computers,one running 98
and the other XP Home.To edit,master and burn top quality audio,
I use Stienberg Wave Lab 4.0,Wave Lab will run you $.
Cake Walk Pyro will cost you $ and is better than any of
those mentioned in the other posts.But Nero is good software and
shouldn't be run down.I would get it over Roxio and Easy CD,but
professional burning rom will smoke them all.You don't have to
spend the $ for Wave Lab,there are other titles in the $-
$ range that are extensive and do some amazing things. 3-27-03:I want to amend
my review and say I think Nero5.5 is better than Pyro.After pla-
ying around with it,it doesn't have anything Nero doesn't and
it takes Pyro too long to prepare the cd before it starts the
burning process.No effects on Pyro either.

Summary: Nero User Interface Confusing
Review: Nero is not a good product if you intend to burn CDs with image files created by a digital camera. The Nero interface to accomplish this task is convoluted and confusing. In addition, you cannot create folders on CDs with Nero and the software often quits unexpectedly.

Summary: False statement about XP Pro and Roxio
Review: I am running Windows XP Pro SP-1 and Roxio EZCDC 5.3xxx and have never had any problems making any kind of CD. I have no idea what other customer is saying about those 2 programs not working together.

Summary: Product is just OK
Review: I tried Nero because I heard that it was supposed to be better than Easy CD Creator. I was not sold on Nero and found that Roxio has done a much better job at making a full featured product in Creator 6 so easy to learn and use. I will always be a Roxio Creator user now. They have total suite solution now for all your recordings Audio, Photo, VCD, DVD. Does Nero provide all this in one package - NO. You may not agree with me, but until you have tried Creator 6 you just wont know for yourself will you?
