Alcohol 120% / Alcohol 52%
CD and DVD burning and emulation software for Windows.
Alcohol 120% and Alcohol 52% are Windows applications for managing optical discs. Alcohol 120% combines CD and DVD burning with disc emulation, allowing users to create backups of discs and store them as image files on a hard drive. Alcohol 52% focuses solely on disc emulation, enabling users to play CDs and DVDs without the original disc by mounting images on virtual drives. Both tools address the problem of physical disc wear and tear, data loss, and the inconvenience of carrying multiple discs.
Key capabilities include creating and mounting disc images in formats such as .mds, .iso, .bwt, .ccd, .cue, and .nrg. Alcohol 120% adds a Pre-Mastering function for burning files directly from the hard drive and supports Blu-ray and HD DVD formats. Alcohol 52% can create up to 31 virtual CD/DVD-ROM drives. Both applications are compatible with Windows operating systems from Vista through 11, with a separate Retro Edition for Windows 9x/ME/XP.
The software is intended for home users, librarians, school administrators, and business users who need to back up or archive discs. Both Alcohol 120% and Alcohol 52% are available as a free 15-day trial with no feature limitations, and as free editions for personal use only. Purchased versions are available for business use, with support for forgotten passwords and login-based access to downloads and upgrades.
