Feature Set:  

This program offers several convenient features common to most quality CD-burning software products, including the drag and drop function that allows you to choose only the tracks you desire, bypassing other tracks.

There are a few features that, if added, would bring CD-Mate in line with top CD burning products. This program doesn’t offer professional customization options sometimes found in other programs. Also, CD-Mate doesn’t offer a self-check feature that automatically detects incomplete songs.

Ease of Use:  

This product is relatively easy to navigate. The opening screen is uncomplicated and easy to understand, but we encountered some difficulty locating and understanding a few of the options. A new user may have a bit of trouble when first using the program.

Ease of Installation:  

CD–Mate received a full 4 ranking for installation and setup because the process was so uncomplicated and entirely error-free.

Help/Documentation:  

The help documentation was useful; each major subject is subdivided into individual topics equipped with screenshots, step-by-step instructions and an index.

Overall, CD-Mate is a good CD-burning product that produces a high-quality CDs. If there were the addition of a few professional editing features, CD-Mate would rank higher.
