Makes ripping and burning EASY and FUN! Best of all it comes with a 23 page quick start guide that was very easy to use. Eveything is fully explained. Very user friendly and fool proof. Zero learning curve. So far I have 1)made cd to cd copies 2)ripped to MP3 3)burned a cd in MP3(128kb)(Thats 11 hours of music!) 4)ripped a video cd(MPEG1)5)burned a video cd. GREAT software. It has many safeguards built in to burn perfect copies. In audio it has overburn/underburn protection. In video it makes an exact copy of the VCD(They call this Global Imaging)
I became familiar with this software in one day. I have not made a coaster yet. I also highly recommend my TDK burner with underburn/overburn protection! Have fun.

I bought version 3.0.
It had a few problems.
For a time, Stomp offered a free upgrade of version 4.5.
Any and all problems encountered with version 3.0 were fixed in version 4.5 upgrade.

I give a 4 star and not 5, as it seems that stomp removed the 4.5 upgrade from it's website?!.

I have used EZCD (fair to OK software - with more than it's share of problems) and Nero.
Nero is a great burning program, perhaps not as user friendly
as EZCD.
For simplicity, RECORDNOWMAX "WITH" the version 4.5 upgrade.
For knowledgable users, Nero.

I had this software with my HP Pavillion xt938 computer, it cannot do the rewrite job as Direct CD or Easy CD creator does. It doesn't format a rw-cd as a floppy disk, everytime I do the write-on for a small file, takes at least 30 sec., At best, I only can use my cd rewrite as cd write. What a suffer, I don't have the freedom to transfer my files between computers even though all my computers are made by HP because my other computers don't read the cd created by RecordNow.

This is absolutely the worst POS software ever created. I tried this on 2 different state of the art computers and I still have yet to successfully create a simple audio CD. I honestly can't believe they have this on the market. By the way they give you 30 days free phone support if you call on your dime. I had to call them to get the software to install. The guy on the line tells me to just delete the problem file and it will work. I asked him if this started my 30 day free phone support.. he said yes... after that it would still not burn a cd. but makes a lot of frisbys... I put it on another older pent III 800 MHZ machine.. same error message when installing .. but I knew which file to delete to get it installed... still it would hang up for 10 min at a time... just unbelievable... DONT TOUCH THIS it is total GARBAGE!!!!! btw im an electrical engineer computer expert.

The 5-star rating entry is obviously put in by the manufacturer of the product. What customer review is going to say "with a 23 page quick start guide..." Well MR MANUFACTUREER that entry has completely turned me off to your product (and company) that I was interested in buying.

Although I liked this product im sure there are others out there that are better--for instance- Moviefactory works etc.
