Nowadays we all have several USB sticks at home, external hard drives, a NAS and even a subscription, such as Office 365, that allows us to have space in the cloud to save our data. It is true that recording discs is a thing of the past. Even most new computers no longer even have a CD or DVD recorder, so this technology is falling out of use. However, there are still people who, for some reason, continue to record music discs. And for this reason, there are programs, such as BurnAware, that continue to be updated with the most interesting improvements and news.
BurnAware is one of the best-known programs that we can find to burn our own CDs, DVDs and Blu-Rays quickly and easily. This software allows us to create our own data discs , music CDs, video DVDs, and even bootable and multisession discs. And all this through a very simple to use interface, even if it is the first time we open the program.
Although developers are betting less and less on this type of software, a few hours ago a new version of this excellent free recorder appeared on the net: BurnAware 14 . And he has done it with the most interesting news.
What’s new in BurnAware 14
The first of the novelties that we find in this new version is that we now have a native version for 64 bits . If we download and install the program, it will normally be installed directly in Program Files (x86). However, if we download the new native 64-bit version, it will be downloaded and installed in the normal “Program Files” directory, along with the other x64 applications on the system.
We remember that the 64-bit versions of the programs offer us better performance and greater security, two important advantages that must always be pursued.
This new version also debuts a new theme system . In this way, we will be able to choose between a series of different appearances, or skins, that will allow us to customize the operation of the program. Its developers have also updated both the program icons and the user interface, thus applying a general facelift to the recording software.
Other relevant changes and improvements that we will find in this new version are:
- New components for encoding audio.
- Support for FLAC format in Audio Grabber.
- Added the ability to extract all songs from Audio Grabber.
- Updated translations.
- Improvements when reading and writing tags in Audio Grabber.
- Better support for HDPI displays.
- Better support for screen readers.
- Certified compatibility for the latest version of Windows 10.
As expected, its developers have also taken the opportunity to correct some bugs detected in this version, especially a very serious one when extracting and saving MP3 files with Audio Grabber.
Download the program
We can download BurnAware for free from its main website . This program has a free version, which allows us to use the program with some limitations, and two paid versions that allow us to unlock more advanced additional functions related to recording. Unless we make special recordings, surely with the free one we have more than enough.
We recall that the new BurnAware 14 is still in beta , so it may have errors.
