- Playlist Tool-Icons

Something significant about the NeroMIX is the playlist manager and the tool-icons which it has. These can be found on the right of the playlist window into the NeroMIX main window. Passing the mouse over each one could reveal each button's job. Starting from the top you have:

1 . Magnifier icon = Start External Playlist Manager
2. "+" icon = Add to playlist
3. "-" icon = Remove from playlist
4. "C" icon = Clear playlist
5. "L" icon = Load playlist
6. "S" icon = Save playlist
7. "i" icon = (highlighted) Track info
8. Square icon = Cover editor

By pressing the last icon you have the well known Nero Cover Designer V.2.0 from Nero Burning rom.

Skins

NeroMIX comes with 5 different skins to choose from...

Coin Skin	Flame Skin

PDA	GREEN PDA

And 'Remote' which is the default.

Conclusion

NeroMix is a fairly good package. It can help you create your MP3s, VQFs or even burn your custom made compilation cds. It's starting fast when you double click on an audible file -unlike some other similar but 'heavy' applications- and the only drawback we have noticed was that it's kinda CPU intensive.

What does this mean? You cannot play your Q3 demo while having NeroMIX to reproduce your chosen mp3 files (at least not in our P-III, 866 MHz machine).

Why one should buy it? There is a main reason: It's ONE program doing a pile of tasks that you normally need three or four different packages to make. Up until now there's no street price announcement from Ahead Software, but I would care to know how much does it costs to have my personal copy installed ;-)
