Ah yes you have no doubt blocked all the people who disagree with you.
Typical childish behaviour.
Try growing up and disproving my arguement, but that would require
some intelligence so maybe it is better for you to bin me.

I don't care if they release a platinum-coated, 200% guaranteed perfect
software. It's too late. They ****ed all over the consumers since the
4.0 was released, and their history of patch-after-patch-after-patch is
just too much trouble. I would rather spend my time and money on
something more productive and much less irritating.

Pray tell, how have they "****ed all over us?" I had all sorts of
troubles installing ECDC 4.0x and don't know why, but they certainly
didn't **** all over me!

In fact when I called to request a RMA I started to explain and the
clerk said, "We don't care, sir, we'll refund your purchase without
question."

That sort of ****ing I can take all day long.

Enough!!! Back to the future with 3.5c and hope I can get my money back
on 4.0. About half of the 30 days is gone just getting delivery over the
holidays and screwing around trying to get the thing loaded.

Let's pray there's some honesty left in Roxio. I sure don't need this
aggrivation.

Was happy Roxio customer until now!

----------------------
Date: 1/5/01

.... I don't trust Roxio, can't
even get a reply from there Tech Help. Adrian won't reply to my specific
question. Was on the phone yesterday morning to Roxio Tech Help for 20
minutes and got disconnected--it was long distance.

Tried to get on
Digital River this morning to get an RMA, 30 mintues holding and finally
gave up. Bought it 12/21 and 1/21 is fast approaching and the end of my
"30 day money back" offer. Any bets I eat my $90?

If you purchased via our on-line store please contact our customer services.

I called the other day. Took 5 minutes to get to Interviewer, she put me
in "cue". 15 minutes later I head a "click" and the dial tone. What does
it take to get to customer service. I've contacted "rx-ask_us" with a
case number and can't get a reply.

I couldn't get a reply back from you about my opening screen question.

What now?

If you did direct purchase and want a refund let me know and I will
forward your details directly to customer services myself.

Adrian could you help me with a Refund please?

.... It's been a little over 2 weeks
now and the "30 day refund" period is rapidly approaching. It probably
means I have to have the material back in their hands within that 30
days, so time is really getting short.

Thanks for your help. I went to the Roxio site and couldn't find any
directons to "discussion list" so chose this method of communication.
I apologize for helping fill up your personal e-mail. I've still heard
nothing from rx-ask_us and my last entry Jan 4.

Don appears to have purchased direct and wishes to return the product under

from this point. Thanks.

Thank you, Adrian. My wife forced me to be patient and after a 30 minute
hold time I got through to Digital River and obtained an RMA.

I certainly appreciate your help in this matter. I only wish my
experience had been different.

Nope cds scatch easier than vinyl, one tiny scratch will turn it into a
coaster.

Huh? Several of my CDRs have scratches in them and they all play just
fine. However, a tiny scratch on one of my old LPs will ruin my
listening experience as it causes the stylus to jump around. I have a
pretty sensitive turntable. I hate getting up to try and get the
tonearm off the "scratch."


2. Creating the Audio CDRs creates coaster: NOT if you do it
correctly. I have hundreds of burned audio CDRs with not one coaster.
Ever.


Just read the posts in this newsgroup.

Most of the coaster are from folks that don't quite know what they are
doing. Like you.


3. Hard to find songs: Gee, I KNOW who plays what song I want, and
what CD it's on. It's called HUMAN MEMORY. I also have everything
cataloged in a database I created so even if I can't remember what CD
the song is on, I can find it in less than five seconds.

Sure, you got 32,000 tracks? and a 32 meter high pile of cds?

I don't know how many "tracks" I have, but I 693 CDs - and many of
those are multiple disc sets that the dabatase program counts as "1"
cd. I easily have close to, if not over, 800 audio CDs. They neatly
fit into two three foot high shelfs and one 200 cd turntable.


4. I can't take my HDD or solid state memory to my car and listen to
it. Nor can I take it to work.

Yes you can if you have the right gear.

Why "buy" the right gear? I can't install it on my WORK computer as
it's not mine. I can, however, just pop the CDR in the drive and
listen to it.

When the HDD fails, I still have all
my music.


HDD's do not fail I have never encountered it in many years of working
with computers.

I work in IT support and see HDD fail all the time. Mine failed at
work about a month ago.


I wont' dignify your childish retorts by making more than this simple
statement: Grow Up.

Just because YOU have problems creating Audio CDs doesn't mean 99.9%
of competent computer users have problems.

O yes it does!!!!

What wit! Next I suppose you will respond with I know you are but
what am I? If people compare you to a teenager, that's because that
is what you are acting like. Again I say, grow up.

MY "many years" working with computers will hit 50 in about three weeks.
I've lost count of the failed hard drives that I've replaced. "Many"

Many means ten or twenty.

I have worked with computers, in software houses etc for many years and I
have never encountered a hard drive failure, one or two floopy drive
failures maybe, but I know the arseholes who were operating them
broke them themselves.

You worked with computers? Let me guess, you swept up around them and know
hard drives don't fail because you never found any in the trash bins you

However a tiny scratch in the wrong place will make the entire cd
a coaster.
With vinyl you always have something left which can be 'fixed'.

Yes people without a PhD in CDR players, ie 99.9% of the population.

I don't know much about my hard drive, apart from the fact that is works,
or course.

A jewel case is about 1cm thick. 800cm = 8 meters.

Your can get a 512 meg player for about £50
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...1218 351&rd=1

"This MP3 player has a 512MB built-in flash memory; is very lightweight (2.6
oz);
and extremely small (3.3" * 1.3" * 0.8""

Thats over 100 songs, I doubt you would ever be carrying 10 CDs with you
(too bulky).


In a few years time the capacity will double, then double again.
Incidently I can remember when 16k was a lot of memory for
a home computer, I have 8 thousand times as much now!!
Many people have 64 thousands times that.
The writting is on the wall.

I have a degree in electronics and I have worked with computers
for many many years.
Yes if you are willing to throw thousands of pounds about to keep
people like you in a job, yuo won't have too many problems,
but you won't have too much money for the essential things in life - like
beer!!

He probably blamed all computer problems on bad audio CDs. What a total
dimwit! He can't do what almost everyone else in the world with a CD
burner can do, so we, not he, don't know what we are doing. I'll take
SMH any day over this fool.
