We didn’t have any difficulties finding exactly what we were looking for and our CD’s quality was great.

Ease of Installation:  

Unfortunately, this is the only section that Roxio didn’t get a full score. Although it wasn’t difficult to install Roxio Creator, it was time consuming. Roxio Creator’s program is more than 3x larger than our #2 CD burning application, Nero, but the included features are almost identical. Even when installing the software from a DVD disc it took more than a half-hour. We can only imagine if you had to install this software from a download off the internet.
