1.2 About Nero Burning ROM
The powerful burning software Nero Burning ROM allows you to burn your data, music and
videos to disc. Nero Burning ROM gives you full, customized control of your burning projects.
You can − among other things − define the file system, the length of the file name and the
character set; you can also change the disc label. And of course, you can also customize the
Nero Burning ROM toolbar and change the keyboard shortcuts.
Despite its wide range of features, Nero Burning ROM has remained an easy-to-use burning
program that creates discs in just a few steps. You select the disc type to be burned
(CD/DVD/Blu-ray), define the project type, add the required data and then start burning.
Using Nero Burning ROM you can save audio files from an Audio CD to the hard drive. In the
process, the files are encoded, i.e. converted into a format that the computer can read. The
Audio CD can be automatically identified with Gracenote. So called metadata such as title,
genre, and track title are accessed by the Gracenote Media Database and associated to the
tracks. That way you have audio files that are accurately and fully named after the encoding
process.
