Converter is a simple program to mainly encode to WMA format or burn files to
CD. However, you can also decode MP3 to WAV as well. Upgrading to the plus
version will allow for faster CD burning.
One big drawback to this program is the inclusion of WebHancer
spyware. WebHancer monitors your surfing habits and also helps deliver
custom ads that might make you buy something. You can block this annoying
software with ZoneAlarm firewall or remove
it completely with AdAware.
Revelatex only tells you about this software on installation, no mention on the
site that I could find.
Media Converter's interface is simple, although dominated by a
large add at the top. Add files by clicking the folder icon and then
progressing through a few screens that will question your conversion
intent. Encoding is only done in WMA format although you can also decode
MP3 to WAV.
The burner in the basic version is slow, burning at only 1X to
entice you to pay them some money to upgrade. Another large drawback
is no buffer underrun support. My first CD I tried to burn came out a
coaster. Even if your hardware has buffer underrun protection, the burning
software has to support it.
Overall, there is a lot better freeware out there.
Upgrading to the plus version isn't really worth it due to the program not
really being anything special. If you want to pay money for a program, get
Music Match
Jukebox.
