Roxio DLA 5.2

Roxio DLA (Drive Letter Access) is a legacy packet-writing utility from Roxio that lets you use a recordable CD or DVD like a removable drive. Integrated with Windows Explorer, it enables drag-and-drop copying, saving, renaming, and deleting of files directly on optical media using the UDF file system.

Key features:

• Drag-and-drop file writing in Explorer, with automatic UDF formatting
• Incremental saves and the ability to add files over multiple sessions
• Support for common media types, including CD-R/RW and DVD±RW (hardware-dependent)
• Quick erase and full format options for rewritable discs
• “Make Disc Readable”/finalize options to improve cross-computer compatibility

Typical uses include quick file transfers, ad-hoc backups, and incremental archiving. Roxio DLA is not intended for disc mastering tasks such as creating audio CDs, video DVDs, or bootable media; for those, use a full authoring suite like Roxio Creator.

Notes on compatibility:

• Designed primarily for older Windows versions (e.g., Windows 2000/XP) and often bundled on OEM systems of that era
• May be incompatible with newer versions of Windows
• Discs formatted with DLA are most reliably read on systems with a UDF reader; finalizing a disc increases compatibility

Overall, Roxio DLA provides a simple, file-based workflow for optical discs, treating them much like a large removable drive for everyday data tasks.
