Free Any Burn is a multi-functional disc burning and ripping application that includes a lot of features and tools. Its primary capabilities include burning disc image files to the actual disc, burning audio CDs from MP3, FLAC, APE, WMA and WAV files, burning any kind of files and folders to a disc, ripping discs to image files, ripping audio CDs to the aforementioned file formats, converting image file formats, etc.
This program comes with a simple yet intuitive interface that offers quick access to any of the main functions. Free Any Burn can load and burn a large number of image formats to discs, but it can rip discs only to ISO and BIN images. Creating local disc images from files and folders is also possible. When it comes to audio CDs, it can both burn and rip them from/to 5 popular formats: MP3, FLAC, APE, WMA and WAV. The ability to quickly select or deselect all the tracks from the CD before ripping them (the “Select All/"Deselect All” option) is missing. On the other hand, it allows choosing parameters such as the bit rate or the compression level for the output file (only for MP3, APE and FLAC files).
As you can see, though it has some flaws, they are minor and can be easily ignored. The fact that this tool offers so many functions yet is provided for free makes it one of the best alternatives for anyone in need of a CD burning and ripping solution.
