Nero Burning ROM is widely recognized as one of the best packages for burning CD/DVD and Blu-ray discs. Nero Burning ROM includes disc burning and copying software, a tool to manage Nero products, serial numbers and Nero BurnRights responsible for enabling users without administrator rights to burn discs, allowing system administrators to set up user accounts with the exclusive right to burn for Nero. In addition, Nero Burning ROM offers the ability to burn data in SecurDisc technology, which allows not only the readability of recorded data despite scratches, wear or destruction of discs, but also the protection of data with password, encryption of content and the addition of digital signatures.

Nero Burning ROM goes beyond just burning and deleting discs by offering, among other things, the option to convert audio files to other formats or write audio CDs with album artwork, song titles and artist names to the hard disk.
