PlayR Jukebox XXL

Summary: Great Product
Review: I had to write a review because I use it to play back music. It works and I have no complaints. My daughter has emailed a musical slide show to my sister in Utah and she thinks it's just great. We loaded in some family pictures from our recent get together and added the theme music from some CDs we had and emailed it over...so she gets to watch the family slide show we compiled. It's really wonderful. I'm still learning a little at a time on how to use all the features, but I'm getting there. It's definitely fun and interesting.

Review: I have to say, that this product is not all that it is said to be. You can't download songs, it is impossible to do. The company told me "well, the sites must no longer exist" I attempted to download many different songs, with NO success. It is difficult to use as a player, as you can never get your songs into the play list. Then my software totally crashed my system, I uninstalled, and reinstalled and no matter what I do it gives me an error, and then closes the program. I have uninstalled it, and put it in the box. END OF STORY.

Review: I purchasedPlayR jukebox XXL because I liked the idea of being able to mix my own songs. I guess that was just all bells and whistles because once I downloaded the program I was never able to get my songs from my hard drive to the playlist. I tried to check out the remix section of the program and it kept shutting down the system and told me that the program was not responding. Also, once you download the program it tells you to change the resolution of your system. I dont want to have to change my computer resolution everytime I plan on running this program, it messes up all of my desktop settings. The program is just too confusing and I plan to go back to my Musicmatch jukebox program which I have NEVER had a single problem with. I guess I was just fooled by thinking I could get something extra for the same amount of money. I guess that goes to show you that things are not as good as they always seem and if you have something that you are satisfied with you had better stick with it. As a final note, Musicmatch jukebox AUTOMATICALLY transfers my recent and new music files to run on its playlist.

Summary: Great fun
Review: I read an article in some magazine that jukebox or dj programs like this are getting huge. I'm a straight up club kid so I know whats up with the whole rave lifestyle and I agree. Trance and electronic music in general are booming right now and I can actually spin a mix on this program not to mention throw up some wicked videos and effects. These people know what they're doing. This is candy for the kids and clubbers!!!

Summary: COOL LIVE remixing
Review: I use playR jukebox XXL to play back my list of songs, like one would on their CD players, except with XXL I can add video playback or if friends are over I could hook up my digital video camera and have live input of my guests on the monitor, which could be really fun especially when you add the real-time special effects. For example I use the ghost like effect to turn everyone passing or dancing in front of the camera into ghostlike images and change the back ground room color to bright fusia. If it come down to it and someone feels like a being a real life DJ they could get on the PC and remix with cross fades and real-time effects like distortion/reverb/echo/compression. It's fun. Difficulty level isn't bad at all, if you understand the concept of remixing samples in songs. If you enjoy music and want to add a little something special to your entertainment system...this is it. :)

Review: The Magix Player XXL in my opinion is probably one of the hardest programs I have ever used. I am computer literate, have worked in radio and have used music/sound editing software before. However I am new to the whole CD burning thing. I have read the 160 Page manual cover to cover TWICE, and I still can't get the music to mix properly, or figure out what I have to do to burn what I have mixed (which took me a whole saturday) to a CD. If you are a PRO with Mp3's this may be for you. If you are a rookie, like me. STAY AWAY. I'm just looking for something that I can fade the ends of songs that I have downloaded. This program doesn't recognize songs you may have saved to your hard disk from your own CD's. (I don't think, at least I can't figure it out.) This is WAY too much for me, way too confusing. A LOT of features that the "normal" music fan would never need or be able to figure out.
