If you have an earlier version and it does everything you need why upgrade, Nero think you will appreciate the new features but while this is still your own copy rather than a limited time subscription as with so much software today you still have the choice. At the launch event I did ask the question about the legality of recording content and was told so far there have been no prosecutions as fees due should be paid by the Internet radio stations. During my review period a totally new version of Music Recorder was produced which was downloaded. Nero 2017 Platinum 0 Multilingual Incl Serial Key + Content Pack. Now forming part of the main package, Music Recorder allows you to access over 90,000 Internet stations in order to listen to and watch content plus record items. Free apps are available from both the iOS and Android store for streaming content to a television and streaming to a tablet plus a MediaHome Wi-Fi Sync offering import/export facility and an auto connect feature. The final section, entitled Extras, has options for Mobile Apps, Music Recorder and Control Centre. Now while Rip and Burn is still there and has its uses for me anyway this is only a tiny amount of what Nero 2018 Platinum can do. I am old – like really old – and can remember when this was the tool to burn your CD’s with maybe a few add ons like DVD’s when they took off.

Nero have two versions Standard (was called Classic) which costs somewhat less and the two main sections not available are Back It Up and Music Recorder and for a growing number of people 4K support, however I am reviewing the Platinum version which includes everything, the only thing lacking is commercial Blu-Ray playback that was withdrawn several years ago on the grounds of licencing costs. In the top right of the Home screen is Nero Know How which has answers to frequently asked questions over fifty video tutorials are much more. The groups are Manage & Play, Edit & Convert, Rip & Burn, Backup & Rescue and Extras.

The Nero front end has five category groups which are shown in graphical drop down lists and items not yet installed shown in grey.
