I heard about this product (Flip Album) from a friend who used it the first day he got it. I was sold on how easy it was to use and how nice it looked. I looked at other "album" programs and was about to purchase another (Easy CD Platinum) but decided against it after reading so many reviews mentioning system problems. Anyway, bought Flip Album for almost 1/2 the price and am excited to get started right away. I have yet to use it on my own computer (hasn't arrived yet) but my buddies works great and it was so easy to learn. He has Windows 98 and a Dell, and I'm hoping my Millenium OS works just as well. I would recommend purchasing this if you want to send self-running photo albums to friends/relatives. I did not buy the CD Maker program that is recommended in hopes the one that was on my computer (CD Maker) will do the trick.

this one is a keeper. not only easy to use but fun. I was able to create albums without reading the directions and send them off to family via a CD right away. Very user friendly! It's even a good photo editor...although I use PhotoSuite 4 or Adobe PhotoDeluxe 2 for most of that. I love the fact that you can create stand alone CD flip albums that you can share.

I am scanning & cataloging all old family photo albums and compiling albums for when the kids move away from home so they all can have a copy of the family photos... ie as digital images.

I am even considering creating saleable CDs with dig photos I have taken.

The concept of FlipAlbum is great and when it works it's great. Which isn't often. I found it to be full of bugs - lots of things not working as they are supposed to and I had to do things over and over and over because the program reverted back to an earlier state. It was extremely frustrating. Tech support? - just terrible. If you actually get a response after a week or so it's something to the effect "did you follow directions?" and when you answer "yes" you never hear from them again. If they ever get it to work properly I might take another look at it, but I've found simpler programs that aren't quite as fancy but they work.

This company has a set of business ethics which are questionable. The owner of Flip Books (EBooksystems) plasters their name and links to their website all over your finished work.
