    SHOTGUNWEDDINGS  2 Things turned me off this software.

    1 - Machine specific licensing sucks, I go through machines like some people go through shoes. I'm not paying for a new license for each machine upgrade I do.

    2 - The software is too unpredictable. Works on some file types and does nothing with the other half.

    WTH is with the constant unknown updates and the crazy dates instead of some version number?  (Version 20080625)

    PETERPAN23  Bought SC due of his easy to use drag&convert GUI. xAct and Max have much more fine-tuning possibilities but for a quick job SC is great - so I thought. Unfortunately I did tested only some mp3 files befor paying. After more accurate tests with conversions my I have a clear recommendation: DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE!!!!! Most of the option are completly useless.

    ANY Format => OGG

    files with 112 Kbps no matter which conversion rate is chosen.

    Apple Lossless => AAC

    default 110 kbps VBR. With any other sampling rate SC stops immediatly without error message

    AIFF or FLAC or WAV or WavPack => ACC

    default gets 131 Kbps VBR - lower sampling rates works, higher than 147 Kbps not. 320 Kbps gets also 131

    AIFF => MP4

    default 125 VBR - higher no possible

    AIFF or FLAC or WAV or => M4A ACC

    default makes files with 137, with other sampling rates e.g. 112 or 192 no files at all

    Apple Lossles to MP3

    VBR no works, CBR only with defaul bit rate of 128

    Conclusion: If you like to lose money then throw it out of the window. That brings more fun. I promise!  (Version 20071211)

    SOUNDMAN  My previous comment about this application has been deleted. Why is that and who did it?

    This app. is one of the jokes of the internet.

    I download every supposed new version just for the laugh it gives me to open it up and give it a simple aifc or aiff file to convert to wave or mp3. Of course, it doesn't work. I get my laugh and trash the app. That's the way you've got to view SoundConverter.....it's a joke!  (Version 20071129)

    CORPSECORPS  I might get this if 3 things changed:

    1. It actually did something correctly once.

    2. There wasn't a mysterious undocumented update every 5 minutes.

    3. If it used a real version number instead of dates that keeps changing format.
