Paragon CD-ROM Emulator Network 3.0

Paragon CD-ROM Emulator provides a whole new world of possibilities and options - you can work with many CD based applications simultaneously.

CDDB support enabled - CD description, list of titles and author information.

With Paragon CD-ROM Emulator, CD/DVD applications are faster, more portable and easier to use. CDs and DVDs are stored as "virtual CDs" on a hard disk in a compact form.

So, what are advantages of virtual CDs?
· Virtual CDs can be used on computers that don't have physical CD drives.
· CD/DVD-based applications become working much faster, because the virtual CDs run from a hard drive rather than from the CD-ROM drive. The average data transfer rate is tens times higher and the average seek delay is tens times smaller!
· Valuable CD/DVD originals won't be lost or damaged.
· Virtual CD/DVD drives do not produce noise.
· Virtual CDs are inserted and ejected instantly.
· Virtual CD drives do not consume power, so that they elongate battery cycle on portable computers.
