Comment summary: Users find Virtual CloneDrive an effective and user-friendly alternative to Daemon Tools, particularly appreciating its free usage for commercial purposes. It successfully mounts ISO files but has limitations, such as lacking support for mdf/mds, CUE files, and RMPS emulation. While some users note improvements over time, others face issues with certain image formats, including multi-track images. The software is recommended for mounting simple image files but not for audio or creating images.

Great free alternative to Alcohol 120/Daemon Tools - but doesn't work with some particular images. This situation is rare, however.

This seemed like a promising alternative to DAEMON Tools Lite. It feels cleaner, is less cluttered, doesn't contain malware, and uses less memory. I've been using it for a while, until I had to deal with multi-track images again, and had to find out that Virtual CloneDrive does support neither CUE files, nor the MDS/MDF formats. This severely limits its use for me, and I have to look for an alternative again…

Select the .BIN rather than the .CUE file, it works better... Change file type (bottom/right of image selection dialog box) to see other supported formats.

Official website was bad. Distributed by Elby, not Redfox...

Best alternative to Daemon-Tools - free for commercial use (unlike Daemon-Tools)

This program mounts ISO files perfectly. Never had a problem.

What is Virtual CloneDrive?

Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually. Image files of various formats (.iso, .bin, etc) can be mounted onto a virtual drive from your hard-disk or from a network drive and used in the same manner as inserting them into a normal CD/DVD drive.
