Phantom Burner description
Virtual CD-R driver. Mount or create CD image from any burning software.

Phantom Burner extends the ability of Phantom CD by adding CD-R emulation. It not only allows you to mount disc image files as virtual CD or DVD discs, but also let you create disc image files by burn to the virtual CD-R drive, from using any disc burning software.

Many people understand the benefits of using disc image files (like ISO) instead of real optical discs. It is cheaper, faster, and you don't need to worry about scratches or the storage of discs.

However, not all burning software supports disc image file creation. Even if it does, most likely it only supports data discs. Very few burning software support disc images for audio CDs.

Use Phantom Burner instead. It is a virtual CD-R burner, and allows you to create disc images from any burning software, including data CD and audio CD. By supporting standard SCSI commands, it is compatible with all burning software, whether it is Nero or Roxio, Windows Media Player or iTunes. It is extremely easy to use. It appears as a hardware burner in your Windows Explorer. Right click on the icon to mount a CD image or to create a new image. In the end, there will be nothing else for you to do except choosing Phantom Burner as the needed drive.
