CHAOTICPIXEL  This app has worked like a gem for a while, but now it crashes every single time I try to convert a wma to anything else. I have the latest flip4mac, latest switch and the latest OS. It will convert other formats, just not wma. The only error on console is "exited abnormally: bus error". Anyone else having problems?

ATTICUS  I received an album of files in ogg format. First time I encountered this file type. Switch converted to mp3 quick and easy. Added to iTunes library with no problem. The user interface is easy to understand - I especially liked the feature that allows you to select the bitrate for encoding.

CIAERVO  Seems to work well, but after using it once it won't start again; the aplication bounces in the dock once and quits. This is on a Macbook Pro with OS X 10.4.8

ALUAKZ  the programs works fine. the only thing is that before converting every song it asks to install flip4mac though i have it already installed. but if you click ok, then it works just fine. the program does what it is supposed to do. it is simple and the user interface is ok. the program is not amazing but it is definitly not crap.

SDEVO  This app is crap mac

Try converting MP3 to .acc or .m4a and it always crashes. Waste of time and certainly do not upgrade to plus. Could ony get it to work encoding mp3 to aiff, xACT does this for free.

Now trying ffmpegX!

HOLYPOLY  I ran into the same issue with .aac/m4a conversion.

This is what their customer support dpt. told me:

quote

there has been some errors made with our installation of the aac encoder.

for the moment might I suggest you use the quicktime format mov.

If you look at the settings there should be the option for mpeg4

within mpeg4 you can choose aac encoding

end quote

Hope this helps
