Download BurnAware 17.0

Version 17.0 of the CD, DVD and Blu-ray burning program BurnAware has been released. A nice round number, but nothing more than the logical successor to 16.9. This program is available in a Free version and in paid Premium and Professional editions, with prices of thirty and forty dollars respectively. The paid versions have additional functionality, such as copying discs and ripping audio CDs. On this page the different editions are compared against each other. The free version comes bundled with optional extras; here there is a version that does not contain them. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
