This GAOTD is a very powerful CD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc burning software, especially suitable laptops and notebooks.

And it sports an impressive array of options which cannot be found easily in many other FREE and PAID ALTERNATIVES out there(so it's not true, as somebody instead said above, that it can be replaced by tons of FREEWARE)

For example it can:

- compile and burn bootable discs and disc images (great option for burning ISO FILES containing your OS, for instance)
- extract tracks from Audio CDs
- extract data even from unreadable and/or multisession discs

So THUMBS UP from me!

If you don't need these advanced functions and/or are not eager to pay a little fee for future updates, then you can use FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES.

You don't need me to tell you that there are many other free and paid programs for burning CD's and DVD's. In fact this publisher offers a free option. Look at this link for a comparison of their products...

I hope this gets a good response here. I have tried their free version and it works quite well. I will install this and greatly appreciate the offer. I am afraid that the competition just may be too great for this to stand out. Thank you GOTD team and to BurnAware Technologies.

I've been using their free product for quite some time and it has never failed me, unlike some other burners out there that seem to go on the blitz every so often. The only thing I wish this company would do is create one of those check lists that quickly show the features in each of their products. The free version does so much so well, that this almost seems redundant for my needs, but I'm installing anyway because I like the free version so much.

I know there are a lot of free burners out there, I have a few, but this is the one I use all the time. It is stable, fast, and very dependable. I can't think of one time when this program locked up or failed a burn, whereas I can think of quite a few times with the other freebies mentioned earlier in the comments.

I highly recommend this program, regardless of field "saturation".
