I've been a Roxio customer for 16 years.  Love it all.

I have several questions that need good answers.  I want to understand completely why it is a good value for me to upgrade from Media Creator.

Creator 2010 has the following feature listed as a feature to upgrade:

1. Save web video for convenient offline playback on DVD, mobile phone or iPod®

A. What type of web video can be saved?
B. From Roxio discussion groups, YouTube changes files up so they can not be downloaded.  How is Roxio staying on top of this type of practice so that this feature always has value to Roxio customers.  There are a lot of one-off pieces of software that I could download or I can use Roxio.  My preference is Roxio but I want to understand how this feature works now and how this feature will continually work into the future.

2.  Capture music from streaming Internet radio and automatically add title, artist and album info, then add to iTunes
A. How is this feature different than what I can do with Media Creator?


4. Easily convert video, audio and now photos to your preferred formats right from your desktop
A. What formats are included in addition to those in Media Creator

9. Easily convert audiobook CDs to play on iPods® and other portable devices
A. How does Creator 2010 do this so that the files play consecutively on the portable device.  I can already do this with Media Creator but I have not figured out how to name the files or titles in such a fashion that the entire book plays consecutively.

10. Create stunning multimedia slideshows with music, captions and animated stickers and share privately online with friends and family directly from Creator
A. How is this different from Media Creator?

Many thank you's,

Ed Price

Upgrades aren't always 'different'.  Many times they are improved as well.  Each version of Creator seems to have something new such as better BluRay support or web video capturing.  Some people only upgrade because they have upgraded their operating system and an older version won't work with it.
My advice is if your current version is doing what you want and you don't need a newer version, keep it.  That goes for all programs and even operating systems.
Some people keep their cars until they die (I do) and others have to have the latest and greatest.  You always have a choice!
