Summary: Amazing!
Review: Basically, it is really interesting how well one can be served and be satisfied totally from just one product, totally amazing! I do have one concern though, I would like to reinstall my cakewalk PYRO cd to my new computer but I misplaced my registration card which contains the serial number so, I am having a bit of difficulties right now. The CD KEY is 811-100070-9159. As I said, I am truly impressed with this product. Thank you in advance.

Review: Cakewalk Pyro was the first burning software I bought. I purchased it because I knew the reputation of the Cakewalk name. Pyro is a very good music compilation program. It has a very intuitive interface, a good help system, and it works quickly and easily with sound files - especially those recorded from other sources. The only downside - and a difficult one to figure out considering that it is a program specifically designed for music CD's - is that it does not provide enough filters by which you can clean up your recordings. They insist that hundreds of plug-ins are available for download, but many of the plug-ins are not free and do not work. Other than that, it is very flexible, quick and easy to use.

Summary: Rookies are speed-writing this software, and it shows!
Review: I am shocked at the number of obstacles that keep coming up as I plow through this program. It thinks my HP CD-Writer is not installed, when I've been happily burning CD's with Roxio software. Periodically its icons get all mixed up. Sometimes you cannot navigate through disks as you try to save. It takes too long to start up, because of some obscure check on the audio devices. But to give them credit, they have integrated their functions fairly well, and if I could have burned the playlist to a CD, I wouldn't be here writing this. But I couldn't, and so I have to recommend to all that you avoid these Cakewalk developers, who are slapping together things to force feed the market and then lollygagging when it comes to patches that will allow us to actually use the thing. Maybe Roxio, or someone else, but not Cakewalk! I am THROUGH with this company!

Summary: We like it
Review: I bought this for my husband, and he's having a blast with it. He's converting his old vinyl records, and turning them into CDs for the car. He's loaded a bunch of songs onto our PC at home. I bought it on the recommendation from a friend at work. It's nice and simple to use. Now he wants a portable MP3 player though.

Review: I bought this program thinking of all the great possibilities that this program would be able to do. After installing it over and over again, it kept on launching to an "Illegal Operation". I uninstalled Adaptec DirectCD, reinstalled Pyro, but it still kept giving me the Illegal Operation error. So I made a screen shot of the error, printed it out, brought it back to the store that I bought it from. Even though they have a policy on open software, they still honored my request to return the program because I printed out the error message. Save yourself some heartache and frustration. Buy something else! Music Match Jukebox is supposed to be pretty solid. I think I'll try that program instead. I would have given this program zero stars, but I was only given the option to select 1 or more.

Summary: Not that great
Review: I don't know if it's just me, but this program takes, what seems like eons, to read a song off a CD and convert it to an MP3. I'm running a P4, genuine Intel 2.0Ghz computer with 768MB of RAM and this program is taking a good 1-2 minutes per song (sometimes longer depending on the length) to fully convert it. I haven't done a lot of ripping in my lifetime, but I can swear that I've used other programs (like MS Mediaplayer) that took nowhere near as long as this one does to read a song and convert it. On top of that, this program demands like 100% of my CPU in the process of doing all this. Anytime I was ripping music, it was next to impossible to do anything else because this program was using all my CPU. In all, I don't like this program very much.

Review: I just want to say that pyro is the greatest piece of software I have ever been introduced to. Everyone who likes music should use it.
