Feature Set:  

Acoustica’s most outstanding feature is the ability to perform a test burn on the disc. This allows you to detect any errors ahead of time to avoid wasting a CD-R.  We were surprised to find that the program does not allow you to erase of CD-RW data, change software languages or backing up data files onto a CD-R. With the addition of these features, Acoustica would offer a much more versatile and competitive software product.

Ease of Use:  

We had some difficulty understanding the available options; the burning process was not straightforward. For example, to make a proper burn, you must be aware that the top navigation buttons are not in sequential order. To the inexperienced user, this could be really confusing. More difficulties occurred when we failed to shut down active antivirus programs or did not specify the type of disc to which we were copying. In these cases, the program would not work properly.

Ease of Installation:  

The installation and setup process was error–free and simple.

Help/Documentation:  

We would have ranked the help documentation higher if it had been presented in a more straightforward way; there was no overview of entire copying process in the help section. The help section was thorough, but we had to keep bouncing back to the main menu to locate the rest of the information we were looking for. Due to this choppy presentation, the help section was difficult to follow.

Overall, Acoustica is a good product that offers excellent CD-burning capabilities. With the addition of a few convenient features and some new organization for the help documentation and main screen, this product would rank much higher.
