 Worst Software Ever April 19, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have been using PC's since 1982. I have purchased many commercially developed software programs. Roxio and Easy CD Ver 6 wins first place as the worst program I have ever purchased. Technical support is a joke to say the least. I will NEVER buy anything from Roxio or any successors. I purchased this version in Sept. 2003 and have lost count as to the number of times I have installed and uninstalled this software. I tried calling the tech. support number and the area code had changed. They have no phone number that you can call without a credit crd number being used. There is no mailing address, save their legal department. I just wish I had been happy with version 5 which came installed on my new computer. The web site support is very lacking in assistance. Caveat Emptor is the best expression for Roxio Products. Find an alternate product that does the same job. The reason for one star is that is the least you can use, on this site.

Actually, I had initial success with Win2000 Pro, but their were serious subtle bugs.I tried to use CD and DVD rewritables, and I could get some success. However, I can only use 60% of the space on the CD. That was the first wierd thing. As I was archiving CDs, I have some problems. Some CDs could not be copied. I could later copy them with Nero 5 though, or using a Mac with Roxio Toast 5. On other CDs I get errors stating that the .iso could not be used for that format, such as hybrid CDs. However, on the Macs with Roxio's Toast, I do not have these problems. Some CDs that I created using Easy CD Creator were invalid or corrupted. I created ISO images on my hard drive and created CDs. The installer would crash, or other software would would be corrupted or would not work correctly. I am really scared after reading these other reviews, so I think I may re-create these archives with another utility in Linux or Mac. I would seriously avoid this product and future products, as this software can mess up your data and archives. You don't want to gamble with this. I imagine there might be some legal action (class action) in the near future...
stay away from #6 March 27, 2004

I have been using version 4.02 and have had minimal problems.
I bought a new drive and #6 was inside so I tried it.
Didn't like it - went to put 4.0 back in and now it won't read the drives.
says there are no correctly configured drives.
When I turn #4 off the drives work fine.Roxio needs to be smarter than this. Do not buy Roxio junk.
The support is sub-par and they leave you with self help skills.
Which means - you figure it out we can't. thanks

This software looks as if it has real potential but didn't deliver. I had problems burning CDs from the start. I've been working with their tech support on and off for about 6 MONTHS and have yet to get the program to work. Their tech support is horrible, it takes weeks to answer my emails and they sent standardized solutions that didn't even address my problem. Phone support costs $35. If it worked it would be great software but it doesn't work and support is useless.
Give it back to Adaptec March 20, 2004

They didn't have a "0-star" option or I would have used it. I've been using CD creating software since 1997, mostly from Adaptec. With this package I've produced more "coasters" than I did back in those days of $800 CD-burners, $8 CD-Rs, 2x record, and no buffer. I picked up "Roxio's" Easy CD Creator 5 as part of a system software package in 2002 and the first thing I had to do was download a service pack for WinXP. This particular version (6) only works when it wants to. I'll give it this much, it wasn't hard to remove from my system. How can a company take a product, make it worse, and still continue to find buyers. That must be why I'm not in marketing or economics. I ordered Nero 6 Ultra instead. WinXP has a better burning package for free.
