Customer Reviews

CAKEWALK PYRO 5
I AM SO PLEASED WITH THIS SOFTWARE,IT IS EASY TO USE AND HAS EVERYTHING I NEED TO MANAGE MYPyro 5 (Standard) MUSIC. THEY GIVE YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR MONEY. NOT ONLY THAT IT IS FUN TO USE. AT LAST I FOUND A MUSIC SOFTWARE THAT I LIKE.

the new improved Pyro
If you had the old Cakewalk Pyro for Windows 98, then you have some idea what this software will do. But this is the new improved version for XP, and it has more new features than the older version.
Some of the new features you may like, some you may not; but after you spend some time with this new version, I think you will be pleased with what it and you can do with your sound files.
Yes, it will take a little getting used to some of the changes; but the results are worth the change. I'm still getting used to it, and learning new things that I couldnt do with the old version; but its worth the learning curve.

Evil, nasty little program
i bought this program in hopes of be able to use it to burn music cd's and encourage my 11 year to be creative with some of his. Yeah, that's not going to happen.
The program makes it difficult to find the music on your computer, and if you're like me, and actually have stuff divided into folders by artist or category, you have to open each individual folder, copy the song you want on the CD and then go back to the main "my music" folder. That might work if you only have, say twenty or so folders, but I've copied my entire CD collection onto the ol' harddrive and I'm numbering in the hundreds. (as an aside - anyone else remember the days when Dad yelled at you for copying a whole CD and taking up his whole harddrive? :->)

Also as a note to anyone who owns a Sansa media player - this software claims to be compatible with most media players. Don't believe them. It doesn't work with my Sansa c250.

Anyhow, If you're looking for a product to burn music CD's, I'm sure that there's a better product out there. It isn't difficult to beat this one.
