Conclusions

Prassi Tech introduces ONES, the new CD/DVD recording software that uses the Prassi burning engine. Our first impression of the program was that it was very good. During our tests, we were pleasantly surprised, with ONES offering features that cannot be found in any other, similar software.

You can do practically anything with this software, from copying media to ripping music or even managing image files stored on your hard disc. Fuzzy Logic will make things easier since it will shield you from any errors.

ONES offers a helpful wizard to perform simple tasks, like making CD/DVD copies or creating standard Audio CDs. This wizard provides the simplest procedure we have ever seen. Unfortunately, while the wizard is simpler than ever, only simple tasks are supported through the wizard. For example, you cannot make mixed mode CDs or CD Extra with this wizard.

ONES does not use any drivers and supports all drives produced after the year 2000. There may be a few exceptions especially in the case of drives with an out of date implementation of the recording command set as set out in the international MMC specifications. Since the program is still under heavy development, you should report any bugs or comments to info.ones@traxdata.fr.

We are used to seeing new recording software in the early stages being full of bugs and limitations. As bug fixes are released, programs then get better day by day. The problem is that these programs cannot compete with leading software packages already on the market. But this time, ONES can compete in some areas with the leading recording software available on the market today and in some cases perform even better. Of course, in these tests we investigated the functionality and the features of the software. Further tests will be made in the near future to investigate its true reading and writing performance, measuring real burning times at different speeds etc. You can always check back for an updated release of this review.
