Digital Home Thoughts: PC World: "Magix Tool Offers to Remaster Tunes"

"Music lovers have a new tool at their disposal for turning old collections into new, personalized CDs: Magix Music on CD & DVD, which helps you create audio CDs and long-playing DVDs, even with visual accompaniment. Its music-editing capabilities make Music on CD & DVD different from conventional disc authoring tools such as Nero 6 Ultra Edition and Roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator, according to Caroline Soper, director of brand management at Magix. The program provides extensive tools for cleaning up, editing, and remastering your recordings. It can even turn two-track stereo sound into surround sound. The software is now available, priced at $40.

Music on CD & DVD complements other Magix multimedia tools, including an MP3 management program, MP3 Maker; and a song-creation tool, Music Maker. But a hands-on look at Music on CD & DVD reveals that the program is sometimes difficult to use--often needlessly so."
