Now that it includes MP3, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC this is a no brainer. They also adjusted the price, so I got the bundle with Resizer and Renamer4Mac.
Well worth it, if only all developers were this good.
I look forward to more to come.

I have a hyge requirement for converting .ps and .eps files to .pdf and this seemed a Godsend, given the way Preview works now in Leopard it makes it slow and clumsy to convert & save to where you want your files.
A quick check showed that it is still not a match for Preview though. The converted files are from 2 to 2.5 times the size of the ones saved from Preview. The same result I got from using Automator scripts and AppleScript to batch convert.
I also agree that at this stage of its development, where it does not cover all bases, it is somewhat expensive for a utility.
btw I cannot see what's the problem with converting AAC and MP3's. Just batch convert them in iTunes. Ogg Vorbis, FLAC etc aren't supported but you can do those in Toast.
If the developer did however include them in Dragoman it could dramatically simplify the process, but I saw no provision to control bitrate or quality.

Anyway, I bought this straight away.. The framework is there... just waiting patiently for many more formats to be added.

and a few others which remains unresponsive as well....
and still no way to add or specify audio export settings.... so for the moment still under construction for me.. and far from my machine..
