This is a spam software. It's good for the people that Amazon carries this, so that they can read the reviews before they fall in the same trick. However, Amazon will get sued one day or another because of selling spam. The software itself is cheap, but all the cost to have a professional come out and fix customer's computer is not. Be aware!

When it installs the 'ringtone maker', it also installs its 'MAGIX manager' secretly. There's no easy to to quit from the 'manager'. You can't uninstall from the control panel either, because it stays in the system all the time. When you close the 'Magix manger' windows, it pops up another window, which does not even have a 'close' or 'quit' button.

1 Star is the lowest possible here, I wish I could do negative. Whoever made this software should be put into the jail.

Look to their other products for more BAD reviews. Their customer support (NO PHONE # just e-mail or write them) to even "unlock" the features. It locks up my computer 90% of the time and they never respond. I need the MP3 unlocked to be able to send it to my phone, but they never send the activation code. Useless!! In case you are wondering if I am just some dolt that just learned how to turn on my computer -I am A+ and Network+ Certified. I know what I am doing and this and the rest of their product line is JUNK. Save your money!!

One thing they do not mention is that your wireless phone must have infared or have bluetooth. I did not know this and must now return the product. Make sure your cell is compatible before ordering.

Magix started out over a decade ago with their music making software from which I have purchased 4 versions. This software is unstoppable. It does video, audio, and of course Music.

Then I bought their newest version of Movie 10 pro plus. A bit slower than I had hoped but still does what it is there to do..

Magix software really performs. That said, lets talk about Ringtone (headache) Maker.

This software should have been a book or a webpage. My girlfriend's daughters wanted new cell phones. so we got them. Since I am into computers, we also got the data cables (about $45 per cable) so that we could get this Ringtone Maker and eventually save money by creating our own tones. When I brought the software home, I was the hero!! until...

you cannot export ANY tone without first following any one of a dozen links to websites promising activation codes which dont exist to unlock features you would think the software was originally intended to create. Second, you dont know if your phone is compatible with the software. it just does not say.. (on the back of the cell-phone data cable box the put a MONSTER list of phones IT works with)

So, after 3 days of trying to get the thing to work right.. I took the girls back to the store.. returned the cell-phones and bought ones which play MP3 ring tones, and their cables, Used my Magix Music Maker software to make 20-30 clips of their favorite songs to use as ringtones, used their individual softwares to transfer the clips to the cell phones and ultimately threw the Ringtone maker in the trash.

I could not tell from the product description that this would not work with my daughers phone. Waste of $20. This product needs to have a very clear description of supported phones on it. You cant tell until you install which then invalidates the returns policy for the software. Very poor.

When buying, it was not clear that this was being delivered by another merchant with different return policy. Now the returns process is a pain. I wanted to buy all my Christmas gifts early from Amazon, not some other vendor because I want their return policies. Amazon need to make it much clearer that you are leaving their web site when you do so. Unless you look carefully it all looks like Amazon branded until the package arrives. Amazon should deal with returns when its them that take the money. I have used Amazon and been very happy for years but this has been the first bad experience. Now I'll think twice about where to buy.
