5.0 out of 5 stars Best iPod software, May 1, 2006

I have tried many different types of iPod software, and Boom Box is the best of them all. The Audio Hijack and CD Spin Doctor portions of the software are worth the $50 each by themselves.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2.5 stars for 2 1/2 good apps. Cool, but Music Magic Mixer is disabled., June 27, 2005

This review is from: Roxio Boom Box - Essential Software for your iPod (Mac) (CD-ROM)

When I heard that Roxio was making this software suite, I was thrilled and the reviews were great. If you actually buy your music from iTunes, though, those songs won't show up in the mix. Music Magic Mixer won't read them because they're in proprietary formats. This app would be much cooler if Apple hadn't caved in to the music industry. If you find a workaround for the copy protection, you're set for a great app that rediscovers your music collection for you. But that's illegal.

Since Podcasts are built into iTunes now, iPodder X is basically pointless, and the speech app isn't any better than TextEdit's speech function. But CD Spin Doctor is a cool app, and Audio Hijack has its obvious uses. I've been transferring music from a minidisc collection I naively built a few years ago to my Mac and Spin Doctor works great. If you only want one of these apps, though, you can just pick them up from one of the original developers for 25 bucks or so, but that's not much of a savings, so you might as well buy this. In fact, you'll likely discover a use for the apps other than the one or two you want.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, November 3, 2006

First off, I make very few purchases on line. Purchased this item based in a large part by the positive reviews in Amazon. When I received this item, I found that the programs it contained did not function as advertised. Found something better and have not used this product since its inital tryout. I wish I had not purchased it.
