Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 Sucks

As many of you are well aware, we here at Heferito.com have taken it upon ourselves to expose injustice and crap in the world in order to save you from it.  We expose ourselves, through sheer luck, to the shittiest products and services on a daily basis.  It is our hope that passing this information on to you will save you from suffering the same aggravation.  

Our latest battle is against the Nazi bastard cocksuckers over at Roxio, the makers of Easy CD Creator 5.  I am sure that you have seen their wonderful commercials on MTV.  Well allow me to assure you that the only thing easy about this piece of software is taking a dump on the CD, lighting it on fire, and leaving it on the doorstep of your least favorite neighbor.  Not only will they have to deal with flaming shit, but if they actually install the software you will receive an added bonus - the cries of pain and anger caused by this terrible product will surely ring through the neighborhood.

I have sent them a letter that conveys my displeasure.  Please take the time to read it below.  As soon as I receive a reply I will share it with you all.

I am writing to let you know that your product Easy CD Creator 5, is without a doubt THE WORST CD burning software I have ever had the displeasure of using. First of all to even get it to work on my machine I had to download a patch that is meant to be used with an entirely different software product from another manufacturer. Now that it's finally installed the usability is very disappointing. First of all, I am unable to burn to CD-RW discs because it insists that they are full. Also, there is no easy way to change the order that files will be burned in. The folder navigation is next to non-existent. Finally, when burning multiple copies of an audio CD you are never prompted to finalize any of the CD's that you burn except for the last one. Most users would never notice that this is happening and would instead sit in front of their CD players with confused looks while their music refuses to play. I hope that you are considering serious improvements in future versions of this product, it sorely needs them.

Sincerely,
Heferito

Well I never did hear back from Roxio.  I guess that they didn't feel that this shitty product was worth defending.  Kind of strengthens my opinion if you ask me.
