Summary: save yourself a headache - don't go RICOH
Review: 30 days after receiving a drive that didn't work, I'm still waiting for a replacement from RICOH. Each time I'm told I'll get my replacement next week. RICOH customer service is the pits and while better products are now available that cost less than what I paid for the RICOH, I still haven't written a CD.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Nice drive, awful software
Review: I installed the drive with no problems. My computer and Windows 98 recognized it right away. Then I installed the software, and the nightmare began. The company touts it as simple, and indeed it is...there is almost no user interaction involved other than copy and paste. That's basically the problem. You never know what it's doing, there is no way to determine if it's doing anything, and more than half the time it isn't. I have had to copy and paste several times on the same file to get it to record and it is very irritating. Drive 4, software 0. Buy something with better software if you can afford it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Be careful...
Review: I read all the comments from the other reviewers, and it seemed like a good drive. But, mine arrived without User's Manual, and NOT A SINGLE CD OF SOFTWARE. It only had a Quick Start guide, wich is a joke. The drive itself is very good, but be very careful...you could be dropping extra (big) bucks for software that *should* be included in the package...also, Ricoh tech support, although fast (at least in my case), gives some very, very stupid solutions...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW! I love it
Review: Originally, I bought the cd recorder for backing up the company HUGE DATA, (after a couple of crushes). For backing up data, It's cheaper than the ZIP drive, and it save me time to SCAN BACK my old data.

Then, I started to record Music. Hay! what can I said, IT IS FAST & COOL!

Love the software, it was easy to use. My dog could even do it. :) Hope you guys who are interest, get it for your birthday or Christmas. Hasta Vista baby!

Summary: Nice hardware...lack luster software
Review: The CD writer is solid and easy to install. The software package that comes with it is very poor at best. It's not intuitive and was shipped with no instructions. Read me files simply say "Manual up to date".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ricoh is dealing out quality!
Review: The hardware and software are both easy to install and use. I like the software's capability that allows me to just copy and paste my MP3s onto a blank CD for recording. It's a great product combination for the price!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good product but not so good software.
Review: The Ricoh MP7040A is a pretty good writer. Installation was fairly easy. Although the software that came with it is a good idea, it doesn't work quite as well. Some songs that I transfered from MP3's got cut off during recording. There were also popping noises at the end of each track. The version could have been a full version to encode MP3's.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rock solid drive and great software
Review: The Ricoh MP7040A is a solid drive that writes audio with great sound quality. This is a fantastic bundle for writing audio CDs from free MP3 files available from many web sites. This is a great way to find new up and coming bands.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent CD Writer!
Review: The software was easy to install, and the product itself is awesome

Rating: 1 stars
