CloneCD is a tool that you can use to copy your CDs, regardless of the copy protection and type of information that is stored on them.

This kind of software is especially useful for creating backups in case you lose or damage the respective discs.

After a short installation process, you will see how simple the interface is, approachable by both beginners and expert users.

In the main menu you can select from four options: read to image file (from a source CD), write from image file (to CD reader), copy CD (from CD reader to CD writer), or erase CD.

In addition, you can choose from five profiles - audio CD, data CD, game CD, multimedia audio CD, and protected PC game.

In Settings you can select language, sounds (for a successful or failed task; or insert a particular sound), enable autoplay for data or audio discs, adjust buffer size, and others.

A log file can also be displayed to help you keep track of the progress made in CloneCD.

Tasks are usually completed quickly, but CloneCD may encounter problems with certain types of copy protection, so it will not work with all CDs. But when it works, the application does its job beautifully.

CPU and memory resources are minimally used.

All in all, CloneCD is a respectable tool for creating CD backups, and it will properly function most of the time. The price for the full version may seem steep at first glance, but it's worth it on the long run.
