Once your Project is complete, clicking on the Burn button launches the CD Writer application; you can also use this by itself to copy CDs, either 'on the fly' if you have both CD-ROM and CD-R drives, or via an image file if not. Like the other components in the Feurio! package, CD Writer is certainly comprehensive, and like Nero! it can overburn CDs so that you can squeeze 78 minutes of recording onto a 74 minute blank. It even shows the playing time and manufacturer of each CD-R blank!
However, for many musicians CD Writer's most important feature will be its very low CPU overhead and robustness, even under stress. I didn't produce a single dud disc during the review period, and Feurio!'s multi-tasking lets you burn a CD-R while reading another CD-ROM. If you have multiple CD-ROM drives you can read multiple discs simultaneously, and with multiple CD-R drives you can even write multiple blanks simultaneously, although Windows NT and a fast hard drive are recommended for this.
Feurio! also includes a graphic editor identical to the one included with Nero, which lets you design cover, tray, and on-body artwork. This is easy to use, but rather limited; however, this scarcely matters for those buying the boxed CD-ROM version, since the bundled eXPressIT labelling software is far more comprehensive.

Pros:

  • Superb value for money.
  • Full control over pauses between tracks.
  • Can deal with continuous live tracks containing multiple songs.
  • Lets you add fades or change audio levels.
  • Allows multiple CD reads or writes with suitable equipment.

ZDNet Software Library Review:
"We haven't seen too many apps that would make us quit using Easy CD Creator as our CD recording software of choice -- until we reviewed Feurio. Here's a CD ripping/recording solution that truly does it all. Use its elegant interface to retrieve CD information from the CDDB, digitally extract CD tracks, edit the produced .wav files, record them on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, and print up a spiffy-looking CD cover. Want to put MP3s on an audio CD? No problem. Organize your discs with the built-in database functions. CD and .wav players are included as well. Even if you're totally happy with your current CD recording software, Feurio deserves a serious look. No features are disabled in this unregistered version. Purchase removes the shareware reminders.

Program Pros

  • All-in-one solution
  • Clean interface
  • Easy to use
  • Rich feature set
  • Affordable

Program Cons

  • None

Yippee Shareware:
"Basically, Feurio is a CD burning utility for the creation of audio CDs that has quite possibly every conceivable feature you could want in a CD burner program. Contains all the usual fare of features such as CDDB support but also has a simple wave editor which is a nice touch. In addition, there are numerous features which will provide hours of experiment so it has to be good! Definitely a more fully featured program in comparison to other CD burners out there - Feurio also provides a nice interface and great functionality. Well worth a look for comparison's sake."

"Feurio, King of CD Audio Recording!

We have been creating CDs for years and have felt the software that came with our CD-R was great; boy, were we wrong! Feurio by Ahead Software out of Karlsbad Germany has all of the answers for the questions we were afraid to ask. Feurio is a CD ripping/recording software that makes short work of any music mastering chore that you can think of. It can help organize music using a CD database (incl. CDDB support), and has a CD and Wave Player, a Wave Editor, and CD burning software all in one powerful package. The real power is built into the audio grabber, which will handle any type of CD-ROM drive thrown at it. We had one of the first CD-ROMs made and it performed perfectly with Feurio. Running Windows NT, it is almost impossible to create a buffer underrun as long as you are not running caching programs while burning, and under Windows 95/98 it is no problem to continue surfing and doing small tasks.
Also, it has integrated a great project manager that will take as many projects as you can throw at it, and can interchange music from project to project and change track order on the fly. The CDDB support mentioned is an internet-based database that keeps track of titles and names of all of audio CDs, avoiding having to type them in over and over. The Track editor is a real work of art. It cuts silent passages in your recordings, adds fade-ins and fade-outs, and even digitizes and saves LP albums as wave files in one operation, even split into single tracks. Ahead Software has been renowned as one of the best CD recording packages on the market, and it seems it just won't ease up on the competition!

Summary:
Anyone serious about music recording truly needs Feurio. There just isn't another that carries the long list of features, the sheer power of an advanced CD audio recording software that this one does. From Feurio's easy installation, great user interface, and great tech support, to sheer power that reminds me of a supersonic jet--only Feurio is just breaking the sound barrier on music CD mastering. Requires at least a Pentium, 90 MHz or higher and 16 MB RAM with 8 MB of free hard disk space, and Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000. It comes in several flavors, from a downloadable version to the Pro."
