CloneCD is a powerful CD-copying program that writes in raw mode, which gives it total control over the data being written. Therefore, CloneCD can produce real one-to-one copies of your CDs. CloneCD requires a CD writer that can write in raw mode; it also requires a CD reader that supports certain specific commands. With the correct equipment, CloneCD can make working copies of nearly any CD, regardless of whether it is copy-protected.

Due to the new copyright law in Germany, Elaborate Bytes AG stopped the distribution of CloneCD in September 2003. The rights of CloneCD were sold to SlySoft, a company located on Antigua. CloneCD 4.2.0.2 was the last version released by Elaborate Bytes.
