• More than 1500 different CDROM and DVD recorder models are now supported. Please see Supported Devices for a complete list.

• Support for DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, and DVD+RW discs.

• Support for the UDF and UDF-Bridge filesystems.

• Multi-recorder support (record multiple discs at the same time).

What's new in versions 3.8?

• Supports the BURN-Proof (buffer underrun protection) feature that is available on many 12x and higher speed recorders.

• The "Load Tracks" screen has been enhanced to allow you to compute the total running time of the loaded tracks.

• MP3 file support!! You can now record MP3 files directly to an audio disc without converting them to WAV files first (they will be decoded "on the fly" automatically). The files can be recorded by either specifying them in a cuesheet or by using the "Load Tracks" feature. The MP3 decoding library was licensed from Xaudio Inc. Note: This feature is not available in the 16-bit DOS version.

• File backup operations on the "File Backup and Tools" screen has been greatly enhanced. You can now specify directory names, file names, or wildcards (such as C:\TEST\*.EXE). You can also save a list of names to a project file and then reload them at a later date.

• Support for the "Discmatic AD1050" disc transporter has been added. This is a very nice unit that can automatically make 50 copies of a single disc without user intervention (full information on this device can be found at www.discmatic.com).

What's new in version 3.7?

• The CDROM "backup engine" has been completely rewritten. It will backup discs with the data/audio tracks in any order (previous versions would not backup discs that had data tracks after the audio tracks). NOTE: This does not include multisession discs or discs that use some form of advanced copy protection.

• Surprise Feature! The writing of CD-TEXT is now supported... Please read "Frequently Asked Questions" for a list of supported models. You can either backup an existing disc or create your own from scratch with custom text for the disc and individual tracks. A complete graphical CD-TEXT editor is also included, which gives CDRWIN the most advanced CD-TEXT support available anywhere.

• Multiple directory selection is now supported on the "File Backup and Tools" screen. You can now backup files from multiple directories (even if the directories are on different harddrives). Note: This feature was added in version 3.7B.

• A new icon on the main toolbar activates the "Sector Viewer" feature. This allows you to view the low-level details of any data sector on the disc.

• Direct disc-to-disc copying is now supported for the Panasonic 7502 and 7582 recorders (Panasonic finally fixed the firmware restriction). If you have the the 7502 recorder, then you must upgrade your firmware to version 1.17, 3.17, or 4.17. Make sure that you upgrade your recorder with the correct firmware. Panasonic made three different versions of the 7502 recorder, each requiring a different firmware upgrade. Direct copying is still not supported for the 7501 recorder and never will be unless Panasonic fixes this firmware too (which is not likely).

• Support for the following recorders has been added:
  
• Acer 6206A
• Cyberdrive 602
• Hewlett Packard 8100 / 8110
• Mitsumi CR-4801TE

• Redesigned "Extract Disc" screen for making image files of discs, tracks, and sectors.

• Support for "importing" previous sessions from an ISO9660 disc (for creating true multisession discs).

• Drag and drop "Load Tracks" option. This feature makes it simple to create audio or CD+G compilation discs without having to write a cuesheet file.

• Support for viewing the text strings on a CD-TEXT compatible disc (on the "Table of Contents" screen).

• New "Disc Transporter" options (on the "Backup Disc" screen).

• Settings screen has a new tab for displaying information about the hard drives on your system.
