 Great with Windows 2000/XP; at least partially(!)... November 25, 2004
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
For DVD-Video editing/creating, I use Roxio's VideoWave 7 Professional. For everything else this is great! I've had great success with win2000; it's designed for XP/ME/98 as well. 2000/XP users w/NTFS partitions will be best off; ANY user w/FAT32 partitions will likely experience some craziness! I use Norton Ghost for backup/imaging: so even if my computer spontaneously combusts(!), I can rebuild it pretty quickly. My Fave's- attractive interface, excellent html help, Creator Classic with Disc Copier, AudioCentral, Label Creator, and Drag-to-Disc: these are amazing! With *just these* components & a DVD+/-RW drive, this software *should* actually be pretty stable- it works great on my system! (AthlonXP 3000+; 512MB memory.) Disc Copier copies CDs/DVDs that aren't copy protected, yet I've copied a few store-bought items: a music CD; a cheap PC game CD; an instructional DVD(!); a foreign NTSC DVD(wow!). Creator Classic makes all kinds of discs- Data, Music, MP3, Enhanced, Mixed-Mode, Bootable & more! AudioCentral effectively rips, burns, converts & manages MP3s, WMAs, WAVs & OGGs. It's even greater now with the new mp3PRO Plug-in encoder available at Roxio's website (highly recommended!). I've converted audio tapes, with my analog-in sound card, into high-quality MP3 CDs with professional looking labels! Drag-to-Disc is especially important to me because win2000 (my favorite OS) can't write to CDs/DVDs without extra software help. This is a tremendously versatile package! For most of my CD/DVD needs, this product is all I need! Official Caveat Time- *PLEASE BACKUP YOUR COMPUTER BEFORE INSTALLATION!* Glitches, bugs, hangs & crashes can be experienced all throughout this product. Make sure Windows is up-to-date with all recent service packs & patches. If you install the entire product to see what it can do, then decide you can do without a few features, it's best to uninstall the whole package, restart the computer, and then reinstall only the needed features with their corresponding updates. Check Roxio's support page for common issues/problems to evaluate risk! (Especially win98/ME users!)
*UPDATE 2006*: At one point, for whatever reason, my roxio software stopped detecting my drives altogether. I heard someone say: If EZCD6 ever says "no drive detected", google search EEZ000005 to find a helpful link & potential fix from Roxio. I did this, and the fix was a small software download called DriveFixEZ_Installed.exe. I ran this and it worked! All my drives were detected again. Still though: Roxio makes it exceedingly difficult at times to find help and potential fixes. They may have even removed that help page I just mentioned(!). Otherwise, this software really *can* be great. It just occasionally seems to be more frustrating than it's worth...

I purchased this product and when I record it gives me an error message. When I went to the Roxio website it says that the error can be fixed by purchasing Roxio version 7! I have lost many cds trying to get this rip off to work! They are thieves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After installing made a complete mess of my Sony Software. November 13, 2004

This software in not a measureable improvement on their Basic Roxio 5.
After installing Roxio 6, I experienced so many problems with my installed software that I had no choice but to abandon the Roxio 6. To those out there who have Sony software installed, DO NOT ATTEMPT the installation of Roxio 6.
Reading their incompatible guide at their Web site, I'm amazed that Roxio will run in tandem with any comparable software.
I award one star, 'cause the system will not allow a lower rating.
Doesn't install November 11, 2004

I have had this product for months now, and I cannot install it on my computer. Roxio "support" has been no help. There is an upgrade available at their website, but it hasn't done anything to help me install this product. I'd love to hear from other's who have had this problem!!!
I switched to Nero...it is so much better October 13, 2004

I foolishly bought the upgrade for Roxio. I've used Roxio for several months and it is just a collection of programs that do not fit well together. I finally switched to Nero. It is the only way to go.
