To be clear, although Soundforge can burn CDs, if that's the main thing you want to do, I wouldn't choose it. I like SoundForge because it allows you to transfer vinyl to digital format and to edit the digital audio. Roxio and Nero are the leading companies in CD burning software, but I think iTunes and Windows Media Player might be able to burn music as well.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!

You need BluRay player software. If you do not have it, this unit will play CDs and DVDs on the players that work for those, but you need BluRay software to play BluRays.Jim

It should be as it doesn't come with any software. You'll have to obtain that from the web. Lots of free Blu-Ray Burning software available, I'd recommend using DVDVIDEOSOFT.com, it's freeware with no limits, banners or watermarks over your videos.

Mine is OK. Since I bought I used in two different computers. Played blu-ray, DVD, CD, everything. I had to install a proper software first. I use Cyberlink PowerDVD 13.

I'm unsure. I use it on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 running. I have an LG Blu-ray burner in it. On my system, I was able to just plug it in and go, no software installation. I use it in conjunction with Adobe Encore to create BD projects.

My experience was that with windows 8, you need additional software to play blue rays. It did play CD and DVD though.

I installed this in Win 7 SP1 with no issues. It didn't come with any software as a bare bones drive. If your having issues, the I would suggest going to the lightscribe web site and download the latest drivers for your OS if your having lightscribe burning issues. I didn't need any blu-ray software either.

The does not have a CD or DVD or Blu-ray drive so will not play Blu-ray dics. I bought a portable disc drive to burn CD's / DVD's that attaches via USB.

I use powerDVD for my blu Ray player or you can spend more upgrading the software that comes with it (witch is only good for burning DVD and blue ray data disk) . For the money I recommend powerDVD its the best by far and don't let the name fool you it plays back blu ray too. I use if for 3d blu ray play back on my media center. Hope that helps. You got a great drive, put the now get the software and you will not be disappointed.

This is just the divice; it does not come with the software; that has to be downloaded for your specific operating system. There is more than one choice for the software, (more that one brand name). It is tricky to work correctly on a MAC for Blu-ray, but DVDs work much better. Almost all software available will play DVD an CD on this drive.Apple does not have a business interest supporting external drives like blu-ray, since most of its software, applications, entertainment, are available through iTunes. very respectfully, Curtthom@cox.net, Frankfurt, Germany

See, here's the thing. The way it's worded makes it seem as though it burns bluray disc. It plays bluray disc and then allows you to burn dvd disc. I've tried a couple of softwares, including the one that came with it, but still does not burn blurays. Should work with any format going to a cd or dvd, though.

I attempted to play my DVD on it and it FAILED. There is an adapter you can buy to convert your CD's into great sounding LP's, but this requires much effort and concentration. I suggest closing your eyes and listening very carefully to your player when the CD is playing and you will hear sound produced very similar to your desired music.

DVD Fab seems to work very well. if you copy Bluray discs they will only play on your computer, they wont play on PS3 or new Bluray players .

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

I also agree with R. Davis It's a "plug & play" But you'll need software to do any burning. Playback no problem with windows media.
