I bought this some time ago, installed it, found it difficult to use and set it aside for a few months. Came across it the other day and decided to give it another try. One word suffices to describe every aspect of this product: awful.

When reinstalling it, the installer warned me that I had exceeded the number of installs allowed. Excuse me? This was the second time I installed it on the same machine. Fortunately, Nero allows you to tell its guardian that it is a reinstall. Why isn't the software intelligent enough to recognize that it is being installed on the same machine?

Next, I learned something I should have spotted before I purchased this product: it only works with certain devices. Nero claims that Move It will recognize your device automatically and set everything up for transfers, making it oh so simple for the end user. Nero claims to support 150 devices. You cannot actually add a device unsupported by Nero. Well, look at the list of devices Nero support: it reads like a roster of dead technology, of devices that have gone to the great beyond.

Do you have a Nokia N800, a two year old device? Not recognized by Nero. How about the year old HP Ipaq 211? Not recognized by Nero. Or let's take the Sansa View, which has exactly the same requirements as the SanDisk Sansa Fuze, which is recognized. Well, the view - despite its identical requirements - is not recognized.

Allegedly you can create parameters for an unlisted device, but try as I might, I could not do it. I did find one way of dealing with transferring to other devices not on Nero's list of museum pieces if they have removable SD, microSDHC or CF cards. You can set the user settings to recognize those devices, though the process is somewhat convoluted. Not that it will necessarily do you a lot of good. Nero Move It's video formats are quite restrictive and won't work with devices like the Nokia N800.

The approach Nero has taken is just plain dumb. Making it difficult, if not impossible, to define devices not on Nero's list of antiques (for the most) part is beyond dumb.

I've used Nero itself for a long time. I've skipped upgrading it because of the many poor reviews to be found on Amazon.

Nero Move It, judging from the number of Amazon reviews, is selling poorly - and frankly I can understand why: it is just plain awful. If I were given to such things, there are a couple of four-letter words I could use to accurately describe this product.

Lots of other alternatives out there: I suggest you use them.

Nero Move It is a frustrating waste of time.

My recommendation is do not buy this software.
Download a 30 day trial copy from downloads.com or other site first before you think about blowing your money on this.

My experience with Nero Move It:

I only wanted Nero Move It to index one specific folder.

In that specific folder I placed files I wanted to move to my Iphone. That is all I want Nero Move It to do.


However, Nero Move It indexed the entire media content of my entire PC - everything but the 1 specific folder that I specifically configured Nero Move It to index.

Attempts to restart the program after adjusting the Media Folders and indexing under General Settings were unsuccessful. It continued to index virtually everything but the desired folder.

I could not clear all the folders out from indexed areas, as it defaults back. So Nero Move It could not find the specific folder and media that I wanted to move.

A total waste of time and money.

I'm really surprised that Move It is a Nero Product. I highly recommend Nero Multi Media Suite 10 - but this Nero Move It is a disappointment.

All my friends have iPhones and I have always been envious that I couldnt sync my music and pictures to my cell phone since I dont have one. Then I came across Move it. With Move it all I have to do is plug in my cell phone, ipod, camera and it automatically recognizes the devices. It is so easy to move any media I want between deices with the simple drag and drop feature. Not only can I use it for my cell phone but I also use it to transfer pictures from my computer to my camera. It's really an awesome product that I think so many people would use if they knew about it!
