Microsoft Plus Digital Media Edition

• Reviewed by: chrisfandrey

  Strengths: Easy to use has a lot of cool features

  Weaknesses: not worth the cost for what you get

  Overall: I believe that all of these features should have came in the OS. i have used the MP3 to WAV files for a PowerPoint that i had to do. very easy to use and a good buy if you can get it for under 10 dollars.

  Strengths: Easy to install. Easy to use. Good selection of tools.

  Weaknesses: I don't like Product activation and then you must also register the first time you use the program.

  Overall: I bought this primarily for the Analog recorder which works very well for someone like me that only needs it occasionally. The additional tools are a nice addition. It is not a professional level program..

  Strengths: Easy to learn, integrates well with Windows XP, Media Player, and Pocket PC software

  Weaknesses: Limited options for user to choose. Some functionality suffers due to simplicity.

  Overall: Purchased twice for two separate PCs. Product registration prevents use of product on more than one PC. Installation was easy, but install times vary based on web servers. Product functions as advertised. The dancers are a nice add to your media player. The analog recorder allows duplicating old LPs and tapes into digital format. Has a label maker and a coupon for labels can be downloaded from the product website. The sync and go feature for Pocket PC is a nice feature if you have room in your PPC expansion card. The movie features are simple, I prefer more advanced tools provided by other products. The Plus! Party Mode for media player is nice, but difficult to use if you have to go through a network to get your music-local drives only!

  Strengths: Analog Recording

  Weaknesses: nothing

  Overall: This really should have been part of the first Plus! or a free download from Microsoft. This adds allot of functionality to Windows media play but that is really all I was looking for.

  Strengths: ads some cool efects that xp should have in the first place.

  Weaknesses: not much control

  Overall: not worth full retail but if you could pick it up for under 10 bucks it's a good deal. I love the cool dancers on my decktop and the juke box mode for media player.
