Roxio Easy CD & DVD Burning 2 | Disc Burner & Video Capture [PC Disc]

It does not work with Windows 10 on your computer. Otherwise it is a great program I had it on my other computers in the past

Well, in the day Roxio was the best...for it’s time. I originally used creator 1. This version is a well over bloated piece of software. At best it can do some basic tasks but not as elegantly as one would expect. My biggest complaint is that in order to install it in my studio (music) computer I need to be connected to the internet. I have purposefully kept my studio system off the internet for a great many good reasons. My music studio is for recording music and all the internet will do is bring me sorrow in the form of viruses etc. I was able to install it on my laptop which was connected to the internet. All this may seem reasonable if you are thinking about purchase verification. But wait, the software never went out and verified the serial number via the internet for the laptop. So what gives? No problem, I will drag the whole system down stairs and connect it. It will give me an opportunity to clean the dust out of the case. It’s not bad software, really. But they could do better by 2020

Would not install on my Windows 11 machine. Non refundable

I bought this because due to a recent system restore on my desktop, I lost access to all my pc built in NERO freeware. Unfortunately, NERO is now a yearly subscription service so I got this instead. It worked! I have a lot of music saved on my PC and I like making mixed CDs I can play on my car. It may not be user friendly but fit my needs. I dont plan on burning DVDs so I cant speak for that feature yet. Also I rip my CDs with Windows Media player so I cant speak for Roxio doing this. Roxio comes with an audio editor but its not user friendly at all, it was extremely difficult to get the fade in feature to work properly. Also I couldnt label the CD itself. For these cons I couldnt give it 5 stars.

I have been in the software and hardware industry(Silicon Valley) for 30 years and this software was obviously pushed out the door by management to meet a deadline well before it was ready. Roxio management should be embarrassed. Yes for very simple things it is simple to use and a no brainer... sort of When going to burn a DVD, on a Windows 10, Windows pops up the label popup and the Roxio popup to burn the DVD. You enter a title, then both disappear into oblivion. You have to reclick to burn the DVD, and it finally takes off. I go to add chapters and if I manually move the slider to locate chapters, I lose the sound. You have to let it run on its own and catch the chapter locations as they go by. Really??? a very basic function is broken. I dont know of any QA organization that would let something this blatant go by unless pressured by management.. Buyer definitely beware

Works

Have used this software before. Very easy to use on this windows 10 HP laptop.

Two of the items were physical disks. I had a slight problem with my 1 digital download. Problem was not the item but I received quick help from Amazon. Thank you

I bought this because I have Roxio on my old laptop and loved it - I had Nero on my old laptop, as well, but half the time, the burn would fail. Never had that problem with Roxio. The new laptop only came with Windows Media Player, so I bought this program based on my past experience with it, and it still works great. Had no issues setting it up in my new laptop and have already burned many discs with no errors, and also ripped many of my CDs. The best part is, now it also puts the album and song titles up automatically when you rip the disc, which it didnt in my old laptop, which saves me a lot of work having to manually hand key all the song titles, artist, etc. I havent actually tried it for burning DVDs yet, as my old external DVD drive wont burn DVDs anymore for some reason. If I get a new one eventually, Ill have to try that out, but I mainly got it for CDs, anyway.

I have used Roxis Easy CD Creator (the precursor to this software) for years, if not decades. It was always very straightforward and intuitive to making the discs. This software however, changes all that I knew. It is no longer easy, nor straightforward, no intuitive. Put the disc in, install the software, run it and burn a disc? three out of four are easy. Burning a disc, not so much. They added too much to the software to still classify it as easy. Perhaps if it had two modes: EASY (or basic options) and DIFFICULT (or Full options) - but it doesnt. It expects everyone to wade through the quagmire of options, when all we want is an easy (quick) way to burn a disc. The above features asked for a rating for thickness and sheerness. The installation disc was about average thickness, and I couldnt see through the disc -- are you as confused as I am, as to these features?
