Summary: All you need!
Review: The best CD burning software available! Version 4 won't work on XP and version 6 is the worst product they've ever made. Find a copy and buy it.

Summary: Hugely Incapable and lacking in support
Review: I probably wouldn't even bother to rate this product; Instead, tossing it aside and foraging for a new, more capable product. But the simple fact that I had to plop down about $100 for this useless product makes me angry enough to write a review.So, if nothing else, I hope my review affects some of your decision making and you opt not to buy this product. One of the big selling points on the box, for me, was the Take Two program. Only to realize, in order to use this software on my XP machine, I had to download an update that removes the Take Two program. So, an already overpriced product just became less valuable. I decided to go ahead and keep the product and use it for the cd burning qualities, but really, you can find a software package for a quarter of the price that will burn mp3's and wave files for you. At the same time, most of these lower priced programs will convert mp3 to wave and vise versa. As of right now I'm using cheaper products to do my burning and file converting and they take up less room on my hard drive, at the same time, using less RAM. Also, I might add, that these programs seem not to crash at all, whereas CD Creator would frequently crash. So, shop around, try demos out, but do not buy this product. It is an overpriced, fairly ineffective, pain in the a**.
Support is terrible and you'll only be giving your money to a huge company that cares very little to make a worthwhile program. Good luck

Summary: The only version worth buying
Review: Used version 4, then bought 6 and that's when it got ugly! 6 was one of the worst products ever used and I don't consider myself a novice. Do yourself a huge favor and buy this product if you can find a Platinum version.

Summary: Better Than the Reports
Review: Used to use version 4 and bought CD Creator 6 only to encounter many problems, not to mention the interface was tedious and anything but intuitive. Got a copy of CD Creator 5, installed the updates and I'm really liking it so far. Very logical, easy to use and is similar to version 4 but far more full-featured. This is the best that Roxio has to offer. Forget version 6.

Summary: Easy CD Creator 5
Review: I have used Easy CD Creator 4 Delux since it came out. I just got a new PC with Windows XP Home Edition. Easy CD Creator 4 does not work with my new PC. I tried Easy CD Creator 5 and it is worse. It caused me many problems. Roxio was no help.

Summary: Deteriorating Badly
Review: When I bought Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum a couple of years ago, it was an excellent program: numerous useful features, all of which worked extremely well. The next upgrade made some useful corrections on minor problems AND THEN CAME the upgrade which removed Take Two AND WORSE. the further upgrade which allegedly adapted Easy CDC to Windows 2000 and XP. (I still use Windows 98/2, as it does what I need, and many of my older programs give increasing diffculties with each new Version of Windows!-not to mention the Security Issues.) Since then I have had nothing but trouble from it.I have reluctantly been forced to agree with the numerous customers who have expressed on the Amazon Site their disgust with the steady deterioration of the Program- on all Windows platforms - since its acquisition by Roxio.Their Web Site is now an unhelpful mess, and virtually impossible to get any useful answer from, and when I tried to uninstall Easy CDC to load Nero Burning Rom 5.5 (they are not supposed to be on a P.C. at the same time together), Easy CDC removed a vital Windows System File resulting in my having had to 're-load Windows', and the rest of my Hard Drive, from a Disaster Recovery Set, which, of course, has re-installed Easy CDC!! Fortunately Nero now has a program which deletes Drivers which clash with it and, after about 4 weeks, it looks as though I will soon be burning CDs again...

Summary: After all these years...!!
Review: I work for a company that uses EASY CD CREATOR 5 PLATNUM, and we have been using this for 2 years without a single hitch...UNTIL NOW. We only use this software to burn data onto cds. Now when we try to use it it freezes and stays in the "burning" phase for hours on end without burning anything, hence damaging the blank cd we have inside. Usually the whole screen freezes causeing Windows (2000) to automatically shut down the computer. That gets annoying when I'm working on a project. On top of that, none of our TOP COMPUTER Administrators know how to fix the prob. Example: I called Comp guys that are in San Fransisco. They couldn't figure out problem, so I had to call comp guys in London, still no good. They called Australia, also unsuccessful. If USA, LONDON, and AUSTRALIA can't figure how to fix this prob, there is seriously something wrong with ROXIO/Easy cd Creator 5 platinum. I'm listening to the advice given to me, by other amazon reviewers and the comp guys at work. I'm getting Nero. It may not have the "Baby Pictures" that some people need, but I'm at least willing to sit there and learn it for the sake of any future problems.
Rating: ZERO STARS
Sometimes one prob is just too many.

Summary: Absolutely Worthless
Review: This is one of the worst pieces of software I've ever had the misfortune of using. Once in a while it will work perfectly. The rest of the time (75%) I get errors about the (blank) disc being damaged or various other nonsense. It's so unreliable, I'm actually surprised when I can burn a CD without error. Apparently Roxio does no testing or QA of their software.

Summary: Roxio CD Creator 5 is a poor performer.
Review: After the problems I ran into on CD Creator 5 on my XP, I wouldn't have another Roxio product on my computer.
The Forst problem I ran into was that I could not import photos with file names longer than 32 characters including file extension. Roxio Tech Support solution was that I needed to shorten all my file names to less than 32 Charaacters.
The second problem was my XP locked up every time I tried to save my Video Impressions file. Roxio Tech Support sent a very detailed procedure to reinstall CD Creator. The problem continued to occur, and I could not turn off my XP because of corrupted files or register. This problem went away when I removed the Roxio software.
I will not use any Roxio products in my computer again, and recommend the same to everyone else.

Summary: a real POS
Review: This system is to be avoided. It is a waste of money. A real POS!! When you try to copy a CD it cuts off about a second from the end of each track. Customer "service"? Forget it! They don't respond to e-mails and if you try calling you get put on hold for a half an hour and then when they finally condescend to answer, you get "I dunno."
