The LDCE is a quit good Dictionary, as good as the Collins Cobild or better.

I have the third Edition of Collins Cobild and the latest one of DOCE.

I some parts is the Collins better, in other the DOCE.

But the Software of the DOCE is much better than that of Collins Dictionary. There are not only spoken headwords, also spoken example sentence. And there are the Phonetics also.
And the Software has quiet more than the book, more examples etc.
So its possible to make a good CD of a good Dictionary.
