Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Whether you're an audio CD burn-aholic or simply perform the occasional hard drive back-up, Easy CD Creator 5 offers excellent options for getting the job done. This powerful program delivers an exhaustive collection of data transfer and formatting options behind a super-slick interface.

Pick just about any file format and this program provides an innovative way of storing it on CD. Burning an audio CD is a piece of cake for this tool, as is creating a video CD and picture slide shows, transferring audio from a cassette or phonograph to CD, and archiving a hard drive. A nifty CD label creator helps organise your archive as well.

As expected, audio CD-burning options are comprehensive. In addition to CDA-formatted audio, playable in most CD players, a great feature converts MP3 tracks into CD audio (and vice versa) and pumps up the audio quality of MP3 files lost during compression before transferring the batch of tracks to disk. A sound transition control allows you to fade songs out or in, add a gap between tracks or cross-fade songs.

Easy CD Creator 5.0 is much more than an audio CD burner. A photo-sharing tool frames pictures into a self-running slide show presentations that can be backed with music. Videophiles will enjoy the video CD capabilities. You can add any Quicktime, AVI or series of still images to the layout interface, configure the layout, then burn the CD as an MPEG-1, viewable in compatible DVD players.

CD burning is a CPU-taxing endeavour that'll spit out flawed disks if the hardware isn't up to the task. Easy CD Creator 5.0 requires a 200 MHz CPU or faster and the recommended 64 MB RAM should be doubled to avoid those annoying buffer overrun error messages. But if your system is up to par, Easy CD Creator 5.0 should churn out CD after CD of beautifully formatted disks. --Eric Twelker

5.0 out of 5 stars Roxio Easy CD Creator - Platinum, 19 Aug 2002
By 
Steve Dickson (Ayr, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum (CD-ROM)
I have been using this product since, more or less, the day it came onto the market. I have used it with Win 98 and Win XP. I have found it to be a very useful program and compatible with both OS. I have had very few frisbies (coasters)which to me is the mark of good CD writing. The actual software is very easy to follow so if you are like me, and don't know too much about computers and their wily ways,this is the product for you and your CD burning.Also if you register your copy you will receive the monthly newsletter from Roxio which is also very informitive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy (usually) CD Creator, 8 Mar 2002
This review is from: Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum (CD-ROM)
This is a good CD Creator, for music CD's because it automatically converts mp3 files into wav files unlike the previous versions and other software, so it saves you time. It only very occasionally screws up the recording process (and this is usually due to the downloaded song being corrupt).
However, for Data CD's, such as copying games, or storing stuff from your computer, it is much poorer than other software, such as Nero.
If you are gonna make music CD's mainly, get this, if you make mainly data cd's, go for Nero.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stick to version 4, 5 Sep 2001
This review is from: Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum (CD-ROM)
Easy CD creator 5 looks nice, but that's all. It works -so and so- under Windows 98 and Me. But don't try it under Windows 2000. If you perform a custom install - as Roxio says - you won't get a blue screen of death. You will be able to run Creator. But.. most of the times it will freeze. Either before initializing the interface or during the recording. Worst thing is as I understand they implemented their system partly as a Windows 2000 service, and once it hangs you can't close it with the task manager. In fact you may not be able to shutdown at all - you will have to press the reset button. Until Roxio releases more patches for version 5, I consider it completely incompatible with Windows 2000.
