Regretfully, because I'd love to be able to support a product like Premier
and its accessibility-focused company, I have to agree with Bruce, here.
I
recently had a pretty unsatisfying experience exploring the program on a
trial basis. Strange things went wrong,
for instance, when I wasn't able to figure out how to move files from one
list to another for burning a CD (the application's not as accessible or
intuitive/self-explanatory as it seems to think it is) and activated the
Burn button prematurely, it crashed the program every time, making it that
much harder to learn by trying.
And in the .mp3 ripping area, the demo version somehow got hold of a CD
that
I don't even own and, no matter what I put into my CD drive to rip from,
displayed only the tracks from that other, phantom CD. And even ripped
them
to disk!
I wrote to the company by email about these two problems (I'm sure not
about
to call them by the euphemism "issues," because they shouldn't even have
been on the proverbial table at all, in the first place), I received no
explanation or advice, even though a lone executive honcho wrote back once
and told me that the engineers must have lost my message,and recommended I
write again, but still I never heard a thing from them.
On top of it, the interface was overlabeled in a silly, clunky way,
lacked
the hotkey commands you'd think an accessibility group would strive to
supply, and, just as Bruce says, wasn't nearly as screen reader or user
friendly as it's made out to be.
I was pretty disappointed by my experience. Also, in terms of comparative
functionality, the thing can't copy a CD (I'm pretty sure, anyway) and
doesn't make data CDs for any purpose, including backup.

You could, but it's not much cheaper than Nero, has much less
functionality, is not completely accessible despite the propaganda, and in
my personal, one-person's opinion, is overpriced and overrated.

Subject: programs for what I want to do
I was thinking of getting Nero but It might have more than I need. Here
is
what I want to do. Download songs off the net and put them on cds. and
burn
my own cds and later possibly converting the songs or cd to mp3 files
and
putting them on dvds. I hate to spend $79 on Nero if it has a bunch of
features I don't need such as video stiff. What about winamp or another
program.
