Selecting files for data and music creation was simple and straight forward. Burning times are fast with no errors or hiccups. Files can be further protected and backed up with high compression and encryption.

For music Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 supports standard audio CDs, as well as both MP3 and WMA compatible DVD/Blu-ray players. Movies can be burned to DVD from VOB, BUP, or IFO. There is also an option to burn Blu-rays, though we have not tested that feature at this time.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013’s virtual disc image selection is rather limited. The software can only read and burn ISO, CUE/BIN, and ASHDISC file formats. If you happen to be using Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 in conjunction with other disc programs, such as Nero or Daemon Tools, you may need to convert disc formats.

Be careful of the erase disc option. Formatting a DVD is almost too fast and simple; there is even a check box to erase much quicker. It would have been better if there were one or two more confirmations to prevent accidental deletions.

Overall Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a great piece of burning and ripping software for anyone using physical discs.

The good thing about Ashampoo Burning Studio is that it offers a rich variety of tools to burn data, backup files, create movie and photo slideshows and print labels and covers, while maintaining great usability thanks to a well-organized menu. All you have to do is browse the menu on the left of the interface, select the appropriate task and Ashampoo Burning Studio will open the corresponding tool in a new window.

There are some outstanding new features in this version of Ashampoo Burning Studio. One is the video disc preview player, which emulates the entire disc menu and lets you interact with it; another one is the integrated audio player for audio CD; and finally, the Autoplay editor, with which you can easily build interactive menus that run automatically when the disc is inserted.

The only drawback, if any, is the fact that Ashampoo Burning Studio is not integrated with Windows Explorer: it would have been great to burn files or folders straight away just by right-clicking on them.

Ashampoo Burning Studio is a full-featured yet easy to use burning tool with support for Blu-Ray, built-in players, label and menu editors, and many other interesting features.
