Nero 7: Managing ALL Your Media

In a world filled with digital cameras, smart phones, and music players small enough to fit on a key chain, managing photos and songs can be quite challenging, especially since each device typically comes with its own software. A handy system called Nero 7 is available that can take the frustration out of managing your digital media.

Create a Multi-Media Library

Though it's already possible to transfer songs and videos between portable devices, the process sometimes requires a high degree of technical expertise and a lot of "dragging and dropping." Nero 7 helps you consolidate your digital media files into one library and easily transfer them from one device to another.

Designed With Professionals and Beginners in Mind

Nero 7 is a fairly robust product with enough technical bells and whistles to impress computer professionals, but folks who are using digital media for the first time should have no trouble managing their digital files using the SmartStart control panel. Nero 7 even contains some features that you may not have used before, including the capability to make free PC-to-PC phone calls from your computer.

Backup and Recovery

A hard drive failure is heartbreaking, especially after you've spent countless hours importing songs from your CD collection or editing video footage. Nero 7 allows you to create backup and recovery disks as you're working. If the unthinkable does happen, restoring your digital media becomes a lot less painful with Nero 7.

Work at Your Own Pace

Nero 7 can help you create a video slide-show or mix songs like a professional, which makes it a product that keeps pace with your own learning curve. You can use Nero 7 to manage your photos or add a rock and roll soundtrack to a home video. The only limitations with Nero 7 are your imagination and curiosity.

A Superior DVD Player

Although computers these days come pre-loaded with software that plays DVDs, few programs are as sleek and simple as ShowTime, the digital media player that's included in Nero 7. A copy of "Bambi II" looked outstanding when I played it using Nero 7's ShowTime on my laptop.

A Good Value

At $79.99, Nero 7 offers excellent value for computer users of all skill levels. Like a universal remote, you only need one program instead of a dozen to manage all your digital media.
