If you want to rip or burn music or videos, give this software a try. It'll do just about everything you need, including burning audio, data, and video CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs; copying CDs and DVDs; and burning movies and photos. It will also create covers, labels, and booklets, and it's great for creating data discs (including for backups).

If all you want to do is burn ordinary CDs and DVDs, you don't care about extras you don't need this software-your bundled, free burning software will do just fine. If you're seeking a program stuffed with extra features such as designing and printing disc labels and covers for jewel cases, and you for creating animated DVD slide shows with music, this is a good one to get.
