Although you can understand if you can see it so far, it is certainly functionally very few compared to various free software that has come up so far, but it is easy to use because it is simple, on the contrary it is a level that can withstand routine use It is soft. If you are just writing data or just imagining it, it's not too much to say that this one is enough, so if you want to write data to a CD / DVD for the time being, you can select "Nero 9 Essentials" for now I think. To be honest, I'm worried about "Do you really want free for no time limit?"
