When we visited the SONIC booth, we were given a demonstration of SONIC's RecordNow. One of the main features of this product is its ease of use. The company spent a lot of time and research in producing a package that would be simple enough to use for any type of home user. It uses drag and drop, and within a couple of mouse clicks, you are burning your data or audio on your media.
