Easy Media Creator Reviewer's Comments



Easy Media Creator by Roxio is the best all-around CD burning suite (For a complete review of Roxios CD burning capabilities, click here). Roxio also does a good job copying games that use SecuROM 4.8 copy protection and lower. Otherwise, as stated by Roxio, this software "does not copy encrypted or copy-protected discs."

New in version 9:

  • Automatically create perfect mixes from your PC music library.
  • Desktop capture widget helps you capture streaming Internet radio and music instantly.
  • Pre-roll feature captures any audio playing on your PC without missing a beat.
  • Mute all system sounds such as IM or new e-mail notifications and capture only what you want.
  • Choose a menu style for your music DVD that fits your mood, or customize your own.
  • Archive your entire music project including all songs and background artwork.
  • Automatically rename incorrectly tagged song files turning each "Track_01" into a real title.


Ease of Use:  

Easy Media Creator's user-friendly design and clear instructions make copying CDs a breeze. The opening screen introduces you to each option and breaks them down into sub-categories (such as CD, DVD, data and photo). The drag and drop function intuitively allows you to select which individual tracks you want copied. After that, burning your CD is a one-button process. This program is an excellent choice for the novice user.


Ease of Setup:  

Easy Media Creator earned our top score for ease of installation. The installation was error-free and the setup was nearly effortless, but using Easy Media Creator takes much longer than most other media copy products we tested.


Feature Set:  

Easy Media Creator includes a virtual drive feature, which allows you to play your game image (exact copy of your game stored on your computer's hard drive) without using the actual game disc. Unfortunately, you still need a way to emulate the protections placed on the game; you can obtain these using third party applications.


Quality of Copy:  

All the games that Easy Media Creator backed up successfully worked well. The copies were flawless.


Protection Removal:  

As far as protection removal, Easy Media Creator is not designed to circumvent or emulate most game protections used in the industry today. If you want to break through the latest game protections, consider Clone CD or Alcohol 120%.


Help/Documentation:  

The help documentation was useful and user-friendly. Each subject is divided into individual topics with screenshots, step-by-step instructions and includes an index that allows you to locate information easily.


Summary:  

Although inadequate for game copy purposes, Easy Media Creator by Roxio is top-notch CD copying software that can produce quality backup copies successfully for a select group of PC games.
