Rating:  - Easy CD Creator 6 Rocks
The product is trully a digitally media suite as it claims .
Yeah, Yeah there are crashes and bugs here and there ,which product doesnt have theese . I installed my copy which I had purcahsed at Frys and installed it on Win 98 . I like the new enhanced Creator Classic . It has cool features like burning multi disc data sets, ability to create Bootable DVDs, MP3 DVD Discs, . The label Creator has also trully been enhanced, abilty to print DVD covers is somethings I like a lot . DVD builder and Audio Central are new applications to this suite . Audio Central doesnt really compare to other audio applications out there . A lot of important options are buried under menus .
DVD builder is also a great application though I am irritated with so many windows popping up ,really poor UI design.
All in all its worth the investment . You can lose at the price you pay.
Rating:  - Excellent product only got better!
Seamless, fantastic, and stable. A solid addition to the computer. A bit more professional then the last version, Version 6 is flawless with Windows XP (SP1 needs to be installed)The drag feature is not only new but excellent. I would recommend this to any "burner" out there. make sure you read the requirements, and go to town!
Rating:  - Poor performance all around
Well, my trials with Easy CD/DVD 6 started with consistent lockups while loading on my Windows 2000 machines. A reboot would fix it, yet sometimes it would persist. Roxio had no solutions for this and claimed it must have been another program running at the same time.Once I could get it running I attempted to burn a few DVDs, strangely enough it showed some DVD-RW disks as 1x and some as 2x off the same spindle. (Not very promising). Beyond that It continuously coughed up Buffer Underrun errors, when previous software had never given me error (I'm using a DRU-500 drive). The Underruns literally "wasted" the RW disks I was using, I'm hoping another program will be able to recover them, Easy CD shows "disk unusable". And I am lead to believe it *IS* software related since it's happened now with 3 different media brands. Testing on my second PC running Windows 98 with the same Firewire DRU-500 drive produced the same results (tho the software did load properly). All in all I recommend a strong "do not buy" rating to Roxios newest product.
