Summary: The most powerful, flexible, easy to use, and reliable app
Review: Hands down, Nero Burning ROM is all of the above - Maximum PC Magazine even uses it as their standard for rating CD-RW drives. After bad experiences with countless other CD burning apps, NBR is quite refreshing. Don't even try anything else - Nero is the best by far, and worth every penny!

Summary: Nero Burning ROM 5.5.4.3 Review
Review: I am a relative beginner at CD writing, and i have been attempting to write onto CD's in various formats (audio, text, and image files) using the Nero Burning ROM 5.5.4.3 which came with my Artronix internal CD writer. My computer is a Presario 5441 and I use Windows 98.I'm writing this review in the hope that others who have had the problems that i've had with Nero will tell Nero about it as well. The main and preliminary problem with Nero is that they provide virtually no support for their product. E-mails to support which are clearly and politely written and which include important questions about using Nero's product go unanswered. On the rare occasions when i have been able to elicit a response from Nero, this response was inadequate. For example, the support technician was answering the wrong question, and insisting that the software did not respond the way that it was in fact responding. I had to hire an outside computer repair person (expensive) to come over and he managed to burn some files, so that i know that the product does work. In fact, Nero probably works just fine for those who know quite a bit about cd writing already, but if you do not, don't expect Nero to answer any questions that may come up about the use of their products. I understand that lack of adequate support may be a problem with other cd writing software as well, so if anyone can recommend a cd writing software provider that actually gives support, i'm sure i'm not the only one who'd like to hear about it.

Summary: Amazed
Review: I never used a cd burner before,I have friends that do, but this was a cinch, and to be able to add more base and to stereoize old songs {like gene autry 1934) for example, its amazing. It also got rid of the old noise in old songs,{like a tinny sound} i burned a cd of oldies for my transit to work, and the xtra base with more stereo and a little reverb makes me think i,m at home. Problem I have now is, my friends want me to burn cds for them and or alter them. I,ll keep this one thanks. Its great for the average guy who just wants good music, not technical gadgets. The wizard is the key to my sucsess. and to format a cdrw for use as a floppy? Great!!

Summary: Good Tech support experience
Review: I recently purchased Nero 5.5 and could not get it to recognize my Sony CD writer. I contacted tech support by email, and received a response within hours! They suggested downloading the newest update from their website, and had other troubleshooting suggestions as well. I downloaded the newest update, and have had no trouble burning cds using several different formats. I found all the info needed contained in their help files. I think this product is superior to Adaptec's CD Creator. A good buy.

Summary: Quick and helpful tech support
Review: I recently purchased Nero 5.5. I could not get it to work with my Sony CD burner. I wrote tech support and received an answer within hours. They gave me some suggestions and also mentioned that there is an update available. I downloaded the update, Nero5590.exe, and made sure my old burning software was completely uninstalled. Now it works just fine. Thank you Nero!

Summary: If you've tried the rest, this is the BEST!
Review: If you've tried the others and had problems, you should give this one a try. Once you get this, there are updates to download with more features and bug fixes. I can actually make a DVD from MPEG-2 files with this software. Comes with a buffer to avoid overburns. Great for copying any type of file. Comes with a wizard to walk you through the process. Anyone working with MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 movie files would love this. I use a PCI IDE controller so I can burn from anything super fast. I recommend this to any computer tech or newbies. Comes with many options, and will even format to compliance. Two thumbs up!

Summary: It does exactly what I want!
Review: I am no fuss person and have no time in figuring out
what works or don't work. All I needed is a simple CD burning software that will duplicate any CD I want duplicated or back up any important files that need backing up. The fact: This CD burning program is a no fuss program that burns CDs right and on the first time. I just drag and drop. Period. It selects the highest output what by burner can handle and voila! I am happy. Isn't that what's it all about? No long-winded stupid manuals. No 7 step processes to get what you want. Just burn and go.

Summary: Win XP compatible ?
Review: No matter Ahead says the Nero 5.5 is full compatible with Windows XP, it isn't ! I own a Presario 5122LA running WinXP PRO, as soon as I've installed Nero 5.5 and the later patches, my PC started to show some troubles to refresh the change of CD's, I mean always shows the cd label which was started the PC. Both drives DVD-Rom and CD-RW are in the list of Nero compatible!, what is worse I try to burn a new cd and shows cd has not enough space, or is not a CD-R or CD-RW. So I shout down my pc and restart with the cd I want to burn inside, only this way the cd was burn. As Ahead never give a word, I uninstalled it and re-installed it, now this are much worse any Cd is good no matter is new or not, no matter I start my pc with the cd inside! I've sent a mail to Ahead and find an answer to this bug, but I'm still waiting!! Support is BAD so BAD! Perhaps in others versions is good but why to say, it is WINDOWS XP compatible? if it isn't!!

Summary: Mystery software with absolutely no support
Review: All I wanted was a burner to occasionally backup my hard drive and various data -- I didn't care about burning music or photos. The computer store salesman was enthusiastic about Nero5 Burning ROM and, since I had never burned anything except matches, I took his advice. Bad advice. Bad purchase. Non-existent support. First of all, the boxed software comes with a blue, 4.5-inch diameter, plastic disk-like device. I have no idea what the disk is used for and I can find no mention of the device in the software's on-line manual. So far it's just an ugly paperweight. Secondly, when I ran a speed test, I was told the highest speed at which I could burn was 4x on my new Sony (CRX185E1)32x/10x/40x burner. So, assuming the problem was the CD, I purchased 10 new CD-R/RW disks that write from 1x to 24x. No difference. Thirdly, Nero informed me I would need 59, 650mb disks to backup the 2-gigs of my 40-gig hard drive that are in use. The remaining 38-gigs are free, but apparently one must backup even the unused space. I think. Anyway, I have now sent four emails to Ahead tech support asking about the above three problems. After the second email I received a curt and short reply in which the company disavowed any responsibility for the slow write speed, saying the problem rests in the brands of CD-R/RW disks (Sony and Memorex) that I am using and that Nero is perfect. I've received no other replies and I am still without explanation as to the purpose of that strange, blue plastic device. My advice: Unless you are a computer whiz, an expert burner and you are absolutely, positively certain you will never ever need any support of any kind whatsoever from the Ahead folks, forget Nero. Buy another burner!
