ROXIO EASY CD & DVD

I find this Roxio burning program to be very time consuming and expensive to use [wasteful]. It seems every other time I use it, it complains about something wrong with this disc half way through the burn or failing to perform simple disc erases. I quit counting how many CD-R and DVD-R discs Ive thrown away because of Roxios nonsense. I finally quit using it. Now I simply fire up my old, FREE, CD BurnerXP program and it pops out perfect discs every time. Its just live and learn. The Roxio hype turned out to be a joke. MR

I FIND THAT NEITHER OF THE TWO DISCS WHICH I PURCHASED DOES THE JOB AS WELL AS MY OLD ROXIO BASIC, WHICH WAS LOST IN A COMPUTER CLEANUP SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. HAVING MISPLACED THE DISC, I ORDERED VERSION 10 WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH MY COOL EDIT PRO, SO ORDERED THE ROXIO VERSION 5 AND GOT THE #5 PRO (NOT BASIC) WHICH LOOKS TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND DOES NOT WORK AS EASY AS THE OLD BASIC VERSIION. AFTER MANY HOURS OF TRYING TO DRAG MUSIC INTO THE BURNER FROM MY COOL EDIT PRO, AND TRYING TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, I HAVE GIVEN UP, BUT HAVE NOT BOUGHT ANOTHER BURNER YET. BUT I HAVE MUCH MUSIC WAITING TO BURN FOR MY WEBSITE MUSIC LINE (YOSEMITERADIO.COM) IAM ONLY INTERESTED IN MUSIC, NOT VIDEOS. THE MUSIC WAITING IS FROM OLDER VINYL WHICH I CLEAN UP AND USE ON THE WEB SHOW. THIS IS NOT A FAULT OF AMAZON. I AM JUST LOOKING FOR THE ROXIO BASIC 5.

I happen to have a computer that is running windows 2000 pro as an OS and this product is suppose to work with that system but it does not! Im still working on the problem but no resolve as of yet. If anyone has any suggestions let me know, Roger

I just needed software to make copies of music CD s that I had burned from some old LP records...Staples had it for $30 and I had a $10 coupon so figured I was in business...not so much...I installed it (Windows 7 Office) and when I tried to copy a disc, I got a not responding message followers by an error message with the disc being ejected ... Filed a report with tech support and to their credit, got back a detailed e-mail back with about 5 paragraphs of things to do to fix it (almost beyond my technical capacity, but got through it step by step) Re-installed it with high hopes only to have it do exactly the same thing ... THEN I discovered that there is a Windows app on my computer that does all that anyway .. bottom line is I am out $20 as far as I can tell at this point

I got this product to create dvds from video_ts files.i am directed to click on a non-existant menu option to do this task. When i contacted the job of customer service i was sent a list of links to go weeding through to fix my problem. All i had asked for was the correct location of said menu item. gheesh!!! I attempted to copy unprotected dvds as well but always got a error message, so i wouldnt say any of it works for sure,, ,maybe you can create dvds or maybe you cant.

Re: Roxio Easy DC & DVD software: I have read, enjoyed, or ignored customer reviews on Amazon for a long time. Ive written a few myself. I cannot recall ever reading more polarized reviews on anything at Amazon before. This is so much fun! Okay, the software. My only conclusion can be that a burned-out, over-worked software engineer created this software. It is the work of a mad genius. How else can I cope with it? What other explaination can there be? Make a spread sheet. Rate the reviews. Sum the numbers. Make a chart. Decide for yourself. PS. I no longer think that Bill Gates is the anti-Christ. My therapist told me that. He has stock in Microsoft. Ohmmmmmm! Oh! The software is pretty awful, but I think the engineer rates more than five stars.

10/29 - got as far as crash. Tried again 10/30 and product key totally rejected. Does anybody ever succeed with Roxio Easy CD/DVD Burner?

I purchased this program for a mere [...] dollars, but it came with a twenty dollar store rebate (which I have not received yet) All told it should only cost me ten dollars. That is a good thing since that is all its worth. The good news for me: 1. It is simple to use and provides an easy way to burn and copy CDs 2. It does have a simple sound editor 3. It does provide an easy to use way to convert old LPs to digital files The bad news: The label portion of the program is almost totally useless! I have not found a way to import song titles. You cant change the font color. When you try to print out a CD jacket, it prints it way to big to fit in a CD case. Combine this with an awkward interface and its junk. NOW FOR THE REALLY BAD NEWS: ROXIO SUPPORT IS DREADFUL! NOT SURE ID WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON THE EXPENSIVE PROGRAM BASED ON MY EXPERIENCES.

I bought this software cheap ($10) after an instant rebate and mail-in rebate (that should have been a tip off) from a major big-box office retailer. I am running XP Service Pack 3 on a custom built computer with plenty of ability to run such a package. Right now I have Roxio Easy Media Creator 7 installed and it works fine copying, burning and making libraries and projects with CDs and DVDs. I have been happy with this version. However, because its 6 years old, I decided to try a newer Roxio product because I plan to upgrade to Win 7 and thought a newer package would be compatible with the new Windows. My purchase was a big mistake. I am a fairly experienced computer user 20+ years, so I should have known better. Basically, as in most things, you get what you pay for, so the low price should have been a warning. It turns out that this is 3-year old software (2007) and its slow. Yes, I got it to install OK and it removed my Roxio 7 and it was able to use it to copy a CD. However, it has a clunky interface and, in my opinion, is worse than the older product it sort of replaced. Fortunately, I have Rollback 8.0 on my machine (a great 5-star program by the way - its saved me numerous times) and was able to go back to a previous time and got rid of this Roxio product. Now it goes in the trash. After reading reviews of the latest Roxio products, I am going to stay away from all of them.

Great deal and price I had a computer crash and have used Roxio for a long time and could not find it in most stores and if I did the price was out of sight so I found it here and at a good price as usual this is a good place to find what I need. Grumpy
