Prety good software that does its job pretty well and without any hassle.

Actually I believe that this program is nowadays one of the best and cheaper alternative to NERO, althogh this GAOTD does not refer to the best and most advanced version of this program (Ashampoo Burning Studio 11).

However, I was just wondering why one should pay 50 bucks for a software like this GAOTD if you can do the same things and even more by using award-winning freeware burning software like ImgBurn (my personal First Choice), (Portable) Infrarecorder and/or (Portable) CDBurnerXP, StarBurn....just to mention some of them!!!

But hey...take a look at here:

* Ashampoo Burning Studio Advanced FREE 2012 (==> Softpedia Editor Pick)

http://www.softpedia.com/get/CD-DVD-Tools/Data-CD-DVD-Burning/Ashampoo-Burning-Studio-Free.shtml


LOL...Can somebody tell me what’s the main difference between today’s giveaway (FREE here for 24 hours only with the update limitation) and ASHAMPOO BURNING STUDIO ADVANCED FREE 2012 (always FREE and UPDATABLE) ???

Honestly I can’t see any remarkable difference between the two software, except the PRICE of course....LOL!!

So why give it away for free here just for 24 hours if there is a CLONE version of this program ALWAYS FREE forever? Big mystery!

Giovanni's final verdict ==> Unless you want to spend big money to enjoy the more advanced features offered by NERO, even this field is nowadays darn SUPER SATURATED...so ki$$ your wallet goodbye: get the drift, dudes???

Enjoy!!

Ciao
Giovanni

I've had Ashampoo's products in the past - if you go for this offer, make sure you register with a "throwaway" email address because they spam you mercilessly afterwards.

The software market is awash with PDF printers, registry cleaners and DVD rippers. There are so many CD burning software titles out there, each manufacturer adds more and more bells and whistles to make their product stand out.
Thankfully there are a couple of packages that are not only free, but lightweight. I always recommend 'ImgBurn' for CD burning. Not only is it small (so starts up quickly) but has a great interface and burns files and folders as well as ISO files to CD or DVD.
This software is good, and has some good features, but the developers have made it bigger and more bloated to make it compete in a competitive market. When it comes to software, bigger is not always better.

Wondering why the trial version on their web site is over 3 times larger than the one offered here. Perhaps missing some functionality...

from looking at their website I cannot find a prodict called "Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012" on their website, I see same title on 3rd party download sites described as shareware but in fact it is not shareware or freeware or comercial but is register-ware where one simply performs a free registration and then gets a key to extend the 10 day trial to an unlimited period of time.

http://www.download.hr/software-ashampoo-burning-studio-2012.html

That editon was a lite version of the Burning Studio 10.0.15

To muddy the waters further there are pages that also state there are Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012 packages that are based on the version 11 product...

According to dottech site

http://dottech.org/25587/free-ashampoo-burning-studio-2012/

"dotTech Advice
Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012 is another in the line of Ashampoo disc burning suite freebies. As with all previous similar freebies, do not confuse Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012 with Ashampoo Burning Studio 10 or 11. Even though the name may be a bit misleading, Ashampoo Burning Studio 10/11 are the commercial versions that have more features than Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012. In other words, Ashampoo Burning Studio 10/11 have all the features of Ashampoo Burning Studio 2012 and more"...

In other words this is a reduced functionality product designed as a taster to introduce new users to the company/product type and then upsell the commercial product Ashampoo Burning Studio for various reduced prices.

In other words you cannot buy this program given away today for $49.99 as it is NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE! it is effectively a free Lite version that is free to register.

Their Ashampoo Burning Studio Elements:

Overview of Features and Functions
· Burn data on CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs
· Update previously burned discs
· Backup important data on one or more CDs, DVDs or Blu-ray Discs
· Rip music titles of different music formats from CD
· Burn music as audio CD, mp3 or wma collections
· Burn Blu-ray Discs with videos in HD and Full HD format from already existing files
· Copy CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs
· Create and burn disc images
· Erase rewritable discs
· Create modified copies of already existing discs
· Design and print covers, labels and booklets---

Only listed difference is this has a wonderous ability of:

•Data CD/DVD/Blu-ray Disc with autostart functionality.

Which anyone can do by creating a simple Autorun.inf file in the root of the data disc with the desired command to execute written in it!

A major limitation of both these editions is you cannot AUTHOR a DVD/Bluray disc with these, they can only burn pre-authored DVD/BlueRay folders and files, not create them itself.

For me that is a deal breaker. Because you cannot buy this edition anywhere let alone for the price quoted I do not view this as a true giveaway of a licensed commercial program but just another freebie that is available elsewhere and in some places not even time limited download or registration period like here! I do hope it cost giveawayoftheday.com nothing in terms of license fees as there are none for this edition!
