It's Good - But There's a lot of Hype, Tue Jun 27 2006
Reviewed By: Mike Prior

I use Tunebite and it is very good. However I downloaded SoundTaxi after seeing it mentioned on many many forums. It does work very well although it converts to a VBR rather than a specific compression level such as 128 or 192. This may cause some problems with your MP3 player reporting the wrong length of sound file.

One point I have noticed is that there are a lot of postings to many many different forumns, written in poor Engish, all giving 'glowing' reports about it. I suspect most if not all are the work of the publishers (from the Ukraine) boosting the hype to get it taked about.

That said, there are a few irritating little bugs in the software, but on the whole it works well.

Great concept - but some issues!, Mon Jun 12 2006
Reviewed By: King_TJ

Tried installing on Windows XP Pro running via "Bootcamp" on an Apple Macbook Pro and it blue-screens the machine. (Seems to have issues with the sound driver.)

Do not install this software
I have a brand new built, high-end machine running flawlessly with WinXP SP2 and just trying to install SoundTaxi crashed my system, and trashed all my sound & ide drivers. Hours to get all back working again.

This software is dangerous, Sun Jul 02 2006
Reviewed By: Thomas

After installing this software I had a lot of system stops on Windows XP Professional SP2 which I had never before. No normal system stops: I wasn't able to open the task manager. This is the badest software I ever saw and it's dangerous for a stable PC. After this experience I found a lot of comments which saying the same

Impressive! Bought it within moments, Mon Jan 29 2007
Reviewed By: Andre Matuch

I downloaded a trial edition of this software to remove the DRM from my iTunes purchased music (since I hate using iTunes to play my music in Windows and I want to have the option to play my music with WinAmp or in Linux). It converted all files very quickly and even kept the directory structure so I can easily move files en masse to the original folders. Sound quality is excellent and unlike other conversion utilities, it doesn't PLAY the song and convert on the fly, it just converts them (unless I am missing something).

SoundTaxi does the job, Tue Apr 17 2007
Reviewed By: Gary Sherry

I just purchased soundtaxi and was impressed with its ability. It is easy to use. I have a Dell XPS700 running XP and I let it run during the night with nothing else running, I can covert about 750 songs a might with great quality results. No lock ups or problems so far. Well worth the price at $15.

update, Sun Dec 02 2007
Reviewed By: Adrienne

After running the whole 1500, I discovered only rax to mp3 causes the heavy CPU use, causing about 3 songs of 100 to have a skip or two. It opens realplayer for each one and that briefly hogs the cpu (70%). m4a to mp3 is flawless - 713 files in 3 hours.

All in all even reconverting the few rax files that have skips is worth the $25 I paid for the pro version. I'd have been here for days making CDs to get them into mp3 otherwise.

My computer has 1G memory (with virtual memory maxed) and runs at 2.2 GHz. If are trying to convert rax files and your computer has less than this, I'd think twice about it. I've seen lots of people complaining that this makes their laptops crash, and this could be why. If you don't want to convert rax, or your computer is better than my old girl...it might be fine.

great little program, Sat Dec 01 2007
Reviewed By: Adrienne

It's a great program, considering it appears to be the only one. I'm running XP on a Dell Dimension 8200, 2.2 GHz, Pentium 4 with 1G memory. There are some problems with hiccups in the converted music, that I've nailed down to its very heavy CPU use at the beginning of each song. It is wise not to be doing anything else while you're running it.

Otherwise, I really can't complain. I have almost 1500 songs that I otherwise wouldn't be able to use on my MP3 player unless I downloaded them onto CDs first.
