I purchased this several months ago and am very happy with it. Some of tools like the converter or cd burner can be found elsewhere but where this really shines is the CD ripper. There is nothing as secure other than Exact Audio Copy and still this is much faster. If you have a modern dvd/cd drive like most people the tool might not seem to be as useful. I can rip most CDs with freac or foobar2000 just fine but I find this is faster and I just feel better knowing that it's an exact copy even if I'm getting exact copies with other tools. For me there are no problems with the audio no matter what I encode it in unless there is a problem with the disc itself. The cd data lookup is also better than any program out there. One thing I noticed is on their website they act like they are a small company with several people. I think this is pretty common way of trying to sell your product online. I don't have any proof really other than a hunch but I suspect it's probably a one man operation. That's fine it's a great product and I certainly got and getting my moneys worth with it.

Commercial crap - who cares anyway? There are tons of good and FREE converters which do the same job. Don't bother paying money for this one!

No longer has "Winall" support (moving towards Win7/8/x only). Spoon (author) is apparently now in lockstep with the Gate$ brigade, for no good reason!

Used Cdex before, but wanted to convert to WMA. Started with dBpowerAMP v10, the free version still available at http://www.dbpoweramp.com/bin/dMC-r10.exe . Paid the $14 for v11 and have not been disappointed. WMA 2-pass VBR @192 is the most accurate sub-256 format (have not tried OGG, but it is supported). dBpowerAMP is now my preferred music player as it uses 1/3 CPU resources as Windows Media Player - ideal for my laptop!

At first it all works just fine... The bad news come when you HAVE to pay and register or it just won't encode MP3 files using LAME codec (wich is free!!)... I used it for years and now I'm looking for a new encoder...

I have been using dBpowerAMP for a couple of years and this is the best and easiest audio format conversion tool in my opinion. Too bad that it is advertised as Trialware $20 because you don't have to pay for the additional features if all you need is an audio format converter (WAV MP3, MP3 OGG, and many many more formats supported with the use of free codecs). Their audio player is also free but I prefer Winamp. Maybe more people would try it if it was advertised as Free, which it is unless you want to buy extra features to speed up some format conversions and other stuff. It has worked perfectly for me and I cannot recommend it enough.

I have always loved & used this tool for converting between formats. The new version finally uses MAD for decoding, which is great. But now having to play to use the (opensource) LAME mp3 encoder is a step in the wrong direction. LAME is now complied completely from scratch, so it uses no licensed code, as far as I have read about it. Fortunately ,most people use LAME with ripping apps, anyways.

Latest version 11 now has licensed MP3 conversion. Still possible to get V10 which is unlimited.
