CNET Editors' review
CD-burning programs are a dime a dozen and vary greatly in quality, but this one falls slightly below average. Though the interface is simple enough to understand almost instantly, we wished the button for adding MP3s were more prominent. We had to dig around for a few moments before we discovered the tiny plus-sign icon that let us put files on our disc. Many programs of this ilk support at least a few popular audio formats and let you copy CDs, but MP3 CD Maker does neither, relegating you to just the codec mentioned in its title. Happily, the app does read ID3 tags, though the trial version lets you burn only four tracks per CD, a waste of disc space unless you're working with large files. You can save the recording project to your hard drive or print the track list, but you won't find any other features. MP3 CD Maker can certainly do the trick, but you can find a better solution.
Publisher's Description
From ZY Computing:
MP3 CD Maker works with a CD recorder to create audio CDs from collections of MP3 audio files. It directly converts MP3 files into the CD audio format and can decode any MP3 file into WAV or raw audio. A normalization feature lets you ensure that all MP3s in a set have the same volume level.
Version 2.0 adds support for 200 more CD-R/RW drives.

"Bad interface, Absolutely NO Support of any kind!"
Version: MP3 CD Maker 2.0
Pros
NONE: SO bad I deleted it and got a refund.
Cons
Amateurish, poor interface, not intuitive. Lack of features in only handling one type of file format to create CD's. I have downloaded FREE software with more features and better interfaces. Windows Media Player is FREE and it does a better job of file conversion and CD creation. That is just one example. In my 25 years of software/hardware use, this is one that should have been offered much cheaper or free instead of $24.95. I deleted the software and with the help of my credit card company obtained a refund. I easily found better software for free to do the same job as this one, and it has a much more intuitive interface.
ALSO: NO Support of any kind. All of ZY2000 support email addresses are totally dead (sales, techsupport, comments, and even the owner/developer apparently), PLUS their zy2000.com has been "dead" (gone) for quite some time. Their "Qwerks" support site (per developer) also does NOT support this software (as advertised) by phone or on their website. I think that they've all packed it in and are just taking in receipts from online website download fees of $24.95 each without having any support. Not sure if this is legal not to support a product sold as stated on their download sites.
