Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The Boom Box from Roxio, a must-have for the iPod , is the perfect blend of five best-of-class Mac software applications, which will make your iPod sing. The Boom Box contains five ?best-of-class? Macintosh software applications to help you personalize and maximize your iPod experience. Boom Box collection includes MusicMagic Mixer, which helps you build better playlists than iTunes alone. Simply pick a 'seed' song, and the utility assesses its mood (by analyzing waveforms) and picks songs in your collection that match it. CD SpinDoctor converts your analog music sources (LPs, cassettes, what have you) into MP3, AAC, or Apple Lossless digital files. The utility includes filters to reduce noise and improve sound fidelity, and can automatically split tracks into individual files. Automatically generate perfect playlists. Turn any text from e-books, Web pages, and news feeds into an audio file and send to iTunes with one click. Requirements - Macintosh computer / iPod (any model) / Stereo cable (for converting audio with CD Spin Doctor) / Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Disappointed
First off, I make very few purchases on line. Purchased this item based in a large part by the positive reviews in Amazon. When I received this item, I found that the programs it contained did not function as advertised. Found something better and have not used this product since its inital tryout. I wish I had not purchased it.
Rating:  - Best iPod software
I have tried many different types of iPod software, and Boom Box is the best of them all. The Audio Hijack and CD Spin Doctor portions of the software are worth the $50 each by themselves.
Rating:  - 2.5 stars for 2 1/2 good apps. Cool, but Music Magic Mixer is disabled.
When I heard that Roxio was making this software suite, I was thrilled and the reviews were great. If you actually buy your music from iTunes, though, those songs won't show up in the mix. Music Magic Mixer won't read them because they're in proprietary formats. This app would be much cooler if Apple hadn't caved in to the music industry. If you find a workaround for the copy protection, you're set for a great app that rediscovers your music collection for you. But that's illegal.
