Looking for Nero or Nero-like Replacements

[gigueres80]

OK so i had downloaded the download as some of oyu ahve up on this page to go to but when I click on the icon in it to make an audio Cd it then ask me to buy still and then for a product code key if I have one.

So is it free or not or is this just to get the download of the software free but you still got to purchase the actual access to use it???

help me out here please someone. i had nero in my laptop my PC guy installed for me then last week my hard drive crashed and the new one Dell sent me doesnt have it of course. I cant afford to pay again for a nero program.

any assistance would be much appreciated

Hi gigueres80

Nero lite/Essential is not really freeware since it is adware, it comes with a precheckd ask toolbar and even if you untick that adware toolbar, nero lite will mess up your system and your browser settings.

More: If you want to enjoy all the nero full features you have to pay

If I were you I would choose another reliable free CD/DVD burner like CD Burner XP

Or I would install some Ashampo Burning studio 2010 free thanks to some promotions

Hey,

Sorry to hear about your Hard Drive crashing. Many freeware applications do many things that paid applications offer.
Here is another list of freeware cd burning/ripping applications:

Hope that helps a little bit, and stick around....all sorts of promotions make it to the forum.

Good luck

Yeah! You need to pay for it if you need to use nero mate. I got nero from my friend who left using it. So i haven't got the problem of buying.

For you i would suggest you to use Ashampoo. Its one of the good alternatives to nero.

Imageburn is the best free alternative to Nero.
I think it is way better than Nero. Easy to use
I have burnt bootable disks using Imageburn.

Take a look here...it will answer your question:

Best Free CD / DVD Burning Software

Good suggestions above. If you are mainly interested in making audio cd's many audio players/ audio library type programs include good burners. I like the one from MediaMonkey. Jet Audio's is supposed to be pretty good although I have never used the burner. Same for MusicBee.
