  "I would buy again."

  by undamysensi on January 28, 2007

  Pros: I purchased this software and have been very happy with it and would buy it again. I use it to record music from internet based music sites and it has helped me grow my music collection quickly with quality .mp3's. It has a very simple interface and it is a very stable program.

  Cons: I will admit that the automatic tagging is not perfect. I does not recognize some songs and leaves them tagged as "Not Recognized". Mostly songs that come from obscure artists or rare albums/singles. With that said, the application makes it very easy for you go back and correctly tag them. Ideally I would like to have them all tagged correctly but I do not mind spending a little time to do it myself in return for a huge music library. I would say it correctly identifies & tags songs 80% of the time. 80% may not seem that great, but as far as I know there are no other recorder applications that have the automatic tagging feature. So in my situation it is still by far the best solution.

  "Best one out there"

  by typicalhero on September 23, 2007

  Pros: I tried most, if not all out there.... Replay not only had the best TRIAL (no restrictions, besides 25 song download max, good start)... it was the best overall. Its so easy to use. Takes a little time to learn how to use it, I recommend reading their help / user guide on their homepage. Once you learn how to use it, it'll run like a breeze. I have Rhapsody and with this program... Rhapsody's monthly subscription is more than worth it. I can listen to all kinds of new stuff and if I like... a few clicks and its saved for on the go. Great!

  Cons: This is an issue with my streaming music provider, but its important when recording: Rhapsody has a tendency to skip songs often when Im multi-tasking. I have to let it run and record and walk away to get a flawless recording. Again, this is NOT Replay Music's fault, but its something to consider when you make your recordings. It might not be worth buying any streaming recording software if you can't get a flawless copy.

  The quality with this software is amazing. It sounds perfect. The tagging is nearly flawless for me. I don't know if I have a newer version, but my tags were about 95% correct. Then again, no other program tags like this one. Its hard to complain about something when this is the only one even providing the technology.

  I have had a problem burning CD's. This is my only issue. Ive received errors trying to burn directly from Replay. An easy fix... I just use a different CD burning program, no sweat.

  All in all... for the price this is the very best one out there. Its more than worth it using the 25 song trial and seeing for yourself.

  "Not very useful for me"

  by sly007 on January 14, 2008

  Pros: Very easy to use but useless for me. I stand better chances downloading from P2P softwares such as Limewire than using this one.

  Cons: The idea is good but this software did not meet my expectation.

  "Excellent"

  by ssis87 on November 8, 2007

  Pros: This is some of the best software I have ever bought online. It works almost flawlessly when set up correctly. Occasionally you have to correct the track info, but big deal--no more DRM. To the person that said it won't work offline....***? The whole point of this software is to record streaming music from legal services.

  Cons: I have been using Windows Vista since June, but this version of Replay Music does not work with Vista. Applian just released Version 3 Beta, which does work with Vista, and very well at that. I have been using the new beta software all week and have not had any problems with either Replay Music 3 Beta or Windows Vista.

  "Won't work offline"

  by mpmarrone on May 9, 2007

  Pros: When it works, it works well, has some nice features.

  Cons: This program won't even start unless you can connect to their server, which means it won't work offline, or if their server is down. This is unacceptable. Avoid it.
