AnyBurn
What it is
AnyBurn is Windows software for burning optical discs, managing disc image files, and creating bootable USB drives. It supports CD, DVD, and Blu-ray media, including data discs, Audio CDs, and MP3 CDs. The program can create, extract, and convert ISO and other popular image formats. It can also make Audio CDs from MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG, APE, WMA, and WAV files, or rip Audio CDs to audio files. USB tools create bootable drives, install Windows to USB, and create or write USB image files. AnyBurn Free is available at no cost for personal and business use. AnyBurn Pro costs $39.95 once for a lifetime license and adds audio format conversion and Windows-to-USB installation; the license includes lifetime updates and unlimited email technical support. A fully functional portable edition is available without installation. Supported systems listed range from Windows 2000 through Windows 11. The software checks for updates online, and its EULA says no personal information is sent during that process. The EULA also distributes the software as-is without warranties and disclaims liability for data loss and other losses.
