Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 2 review
A broad Windows disc-authoring suite for audio, video, backup and archiving work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 2 is Windows desktop software for creating, copying and managing physical media. It targets solo users and small organizations that need more than straightforward audio-CD burning, including photo and video discs, DVD projects, audio capture, and file archiving. Corel Corporation presents it as a single suite for disc creation, audio conversion, digitization and related media tasks.
Its breadth is the main differentiator. The software creates data, audio, photo and video discs; copies CDs and DVDs; rips CDs; captures audio; digitizes LPs and cassettes; and edits or converts audio. DVD authoring includes menus and chapters, while ISO creation and burning support disc-image workflows. Backup tools can spread files across multiple discs, and personalized label design extends the workflow beyond burning. Supported audio formats include Audio CD, MP3, WAV, WMA, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, M4a and MP4. Gracenote retrieval adds artist metadata and album artwork during supported media tasks.
The product is sold as paid Windows desktop software, with Buy now and Download options presented by the vendor. Support channels include documentation, email, tickets and chat, and directly purchased products carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. Choose it when one Windows application needs to cover audio discs, broader media authoring, ISO handling, digitization and physical archiving. Users who only need a narrow audio-CD workflow, or who require a non-Windows platform, should consider a more focused alternative.
