I was glad to see the patch, but after I applied it -- nothing happened. I still get a pop up saying my program is out of date and then it asks for a registration Number. Although GIVEAWAYOFTHEDAY is written in the username box the reg number box is empty. I have attempted to paste my old reg number (taken from regedit) but to no avail.</p> <p>I think they changed the patch offered in the link. The file patch offered in the link is called "acp305", however when Audio Converter Pro launches in its stunted TRIAL mode (it converts half of any song) it says I'm running ACP 3.06. </p> <p>Abyssmedia is obviously trying to hurry the process of converting GOATD users into paying customers by crippling their offerings early. Short term thinking on their part, IMHO. </p> <p>I don't use the program enough to buy it and this shoddy treatment by Abyssmedia only turns me off the company altogether. I was considering buying a copy of "i-Sound Pro", as I missed the GOATD offering, but not now ...or ever. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949/page/2#post-8096 Sun, 08 Jul 2007 06:09:55 +0000 DeLayne 8096@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Good News!

I say most of them include features like this in their normal product - and then they don't give it much more thought, until GOTD comes along saying that the program is trying to "update" and the developers roll their eyes and say, "oh yeah... that's right. I completely forgot about that". The good developers - give us a new version that doesn't try to auto update any more.</p> <p>Being an absent minded developer, myself - that's probably what I would do, anyway.</p> <p>The only exception to this - because they still couldn't get it right the second time... is iobit with "Advanced Windows Care".

I know I registered it, because the first thing I do <em>(every single time,)</em> before even trying the software out - is check to see that the registration information is all in place.</p> <p>While I didn't install this particular converter, I do have <em>Alcyone's Audio Converter,</em> which thankfully, is still showing as registered to 'giveawayoftheday.' in [Help - About]. <em>(Fingers crossed!)</em></p> <p>I reported the icon toy to the forums ages ago, and while Bubby ;) has tried to help me, apparently nothing can be done for it.</p> <p>Sadly, I don't think that GotD actually has any input with developers these days. <em>It's like they just accept what they can get.</em> Developers include malware and software is increasingly becoming time limited, <em>regardless</em> of the original GotD initiative.</p> <p>The burning question of the day is: Does GotD know when software comes with such limitations?<br /> ~ Swan </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949/page/2#post-7723 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 17:05:36 +0000 Nastajia 7723@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>kevinyunlai, for your perusel. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1065#post-7722 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 17:04:12 +0000 Nastajia 7722@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Here is a bump of another thread from the same company kevinyunlai :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949/page/2#post-7712 Sun, 01 Jul 2007 15:02:29 +0000 Nastajia 7712@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hiya BillW50, :)</p> <p>Well by looking at the link you posted to that thread it seems as though the guy's at abbyssmedia jumped in and "fixed the problem inside of a couple of weeks" at best.</p> <p>This has been going on for months now and the end of the financial year is now upon us.</p> <p>I still have my copy of Audio Converter plus installed, but i have purchased dbpoweramp for the time being. If Abyss come up with a "solution" and fix it then kudo's to them. But i am not going to lose sleep over it if they do not fix it.</p> <p>I have put several music lovers "friends" on to dbpoweramp and they love it with two of them buying it as i did. There was one enquiry for Audio Converter plus, but i put them on the correct path to several other alternatives.</p> <p>Honestly!</p> <p>Released feb i think and almost 6 months later nothing but defening silence. "so there is your answer, i feel that nothing will be done about it". "Bill do not bother waiting, you will only waste your time"</p> <p>I will continue to recommomend alternatives to ACP for the people that ask me what i now use.</p> <p>I apologize but those sorts of practices by some company's get right under my skin, so there is no way i will ever recommend ACP sorry....i just can not do it. Mt first audio converter cost me $$$ and i in good faith replaced it with the so called fully functional version of Audio Converter Plus.</p> <p>So in the end my purse has been hit twice now "not that abbysswould lose sleep over it". SORRY but recommendending ACP is just not going to happen. Much to the delight of other developers who have sold 3 copies of their converters on my recommendation.</p> <p>Vote with your pocket and only then will Abyss feel they may be doing wrong by falsely advertising "so called fully functianal software" that cripples its self. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949/page/2#post-7266 Fri, 22 Jun 2007 16:42:29 +0000 BillW50 7266@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi Nastajia! Well Abyss had the same problem with I-Sound and they fixed that one.

Do not buy it from Abyss....this company's deception speaks volumes about their integrity or lack of it and they do not deserve the sale. There are plenty of alternatives out there that are just as good if not better than theirs.</p> <p>I am trialing a few converters rippers before making a decission on which one to buy. </p> <p>First one is: "Audio Convert" <a href="http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/gmm/fwaudiocodec.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/gmm/fwaudiocodec.html</a> which i have found very good so far.</p> <p>The 2nd one is "dBpoweramp Music Converter (dMC)" <a href="http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm</a> which has been very very good so far.</p> <p>Or alternatively you can try "Free Audio Converter" at <a href="http://softdepo.com/audio_converter.htm" rel="nofollow">http://softdepo.com/audio_converter.htm</a> this one i have yet to trial but i think it is a full free version but i am unsure because i have yet to trial it.</p> <p>Do not hold your breath and wait for a fix from Abyss, i feel they have absolutely no intention on addressing the issue. This software was crippled back to trialware after approximately 2 months and i feel that it was done intentionally....so i can not in good faith tell you to spend your hard earned $$$ on it because of this companys actions.</p> <p>The guy's of GAOTD are doing their best but in the end they too are at the mercy of any company that will take adavantage of the free advertising offered by this site. Sorry i am unable to be of any help but that is the way things work out sometimes.</p> <p>Good luck on your choice if you decide to buy something. :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949/page/2#post-6683 Sun, 10 Jun 2007 04:27:10 +0000 firefly 6683@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Same issue as Nastajia..Abyssmedia Audio Converter is no longer registered and prompting me to register. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949#post-6680 Sat, 09 Jun 2007 19:01:52 +0000 Nastajia 6680@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thank You, i just registered on the dbpoweramp forums.

I will not continue to install and uninstall one audio converter after the other because it is starting to mess up my windows install.</p> <p>BuBBy i still have Audio Converter plus installed on my pc, i do apologize BuBBy but i honestly think Abyssmedia do not care one tiny bit about this.</p> <p>It will be a cold day in hell before i purchase anything from Abyssmedia period! If anybody that asks me to recommend a converter then i will make it a point to steer them away from any software by Abyssmedia.</p> <p>Audio Converter Plus gets a thumbs up from me!<br /> But AbyssMedia get the thumbs down for missleading me and i will be damned if i am going to pay them one red cent!</p> <p>Leo summed it up best and now my feelings are the same!</p> <p>My biggest single regret "and i am still regretting it" is that i killed off my old "Fully Functional unrestricted" audio converter program which cost me US $49 in favour of Audio Converter Plus. I would repurchase it but it is missing one feature that Audio Converter Plus has.</p> <p>So i want to make an well informed choice before purchasing.</p> <p>If anyone can recommend a good converter that does everything that Audio Converter Plus does then please post a link as i am now needing to buy a converter and am ready to pay for it. "It can not be anything from Abyssmedia as i feel that i was misslead intentionally and have lost $49 worth of software that i can not recover.</p> <p>I do apologise BuBBy but i am a little upset at the lack of action by Abyssmedia. I did not download Aimersofts DVD ripper but i see they have honored the giveaway terms and have taken steps to rectify the problem.</p> <p>Thankyou for all the help BuBBy, :) it is really appreciated....but in the end you have no control and it appears now as though Abyss are sweeping this one under the carpet.</p> <p>Any recommendations on a very good converter would be appreciated, i will now repurchase another converter to replace the one previous to Audio Converter Plus.</p> <p>Thank You :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949#post-6452 Sat, 02 Jun 2007 01:29:26 +0000 BuBBy 6452@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Sorry, I haven't heard anything. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/949#post-6436 Fri, 01 Jun 2007 18:40:46 +0000 Nastajia 6436@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Hi BuBBY, :)</p> <p>Is there any news yet from the GOTD team or AbyssMedia? i am on the last day before my evalution of Audio convert expires.</p> <p>Thank you :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1038#post-6205 Sat, 26 May 2007 17:07:49 +0000 andrea01 6205@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I hope this is a full version, although I can't see if it is registered to somebody.
