Creator 5 Platinum Easy CD Creator, toast for Macintosh platforms and other software products that allow you to create, manage and distribute digital media have been so successful for Adaptec's Software Products Group that, late in 2000, the company decided to spin it off to form a separate business called Roxio.
Platinum is the latest full-featured version of the popular CD recording software.
Compared to Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe, there are essentially two additional features and some minor improvements. One obvious difference to Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe is that the Project Selector and interface to the individual applications have been given a new look in keeping with the new Roxio brand and the new version of the software. When installing, the start icon for the Project Selector now appears in the Windows taskbar notification area. Three smaller buttons allow you to download the latest drive support and software updates for the product, create CD labels and jewel case inserts or get help and information on the different projects in Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum. If you select to make a music CD, then you're offered three further selections.
