BuBBy,
thanks for the definition!

Same thing happened to me with mymovie(?) and I couldn't access my database of movies I spent days building. It was a version of the program with a glick that the company only used for GOTD so they didn't even have the file for me to download to gelt my database back.

what does "bump" mean?
Bump: Wikipedia

I'm not sure what your "second question is" - you only asked one question.

two questions
what does "bump" mean
what does "Here is a bump of another thread from the same company kevinyunlai :)"
I'm not joking, I'm kind of new to this country and my English is not too well
anyways,
Desktop Icon Toy turned back into trial to me too Swan
I'm not complaining, because I did not like it that much, but the point is we are not getting full version, just extended trial
I'm guessing that companies do this on purpose
1. if you are "complaining", means that you like the software and that you might buy it (they are completely wrong....)
2. if you are not "complaining", then it means you don't like/need the software so it does not matter if it works or not

Please do not bump threads - post a link to them instead.

Here is a bump of another thread from the same company kevinyunlai :)

It has been over 2 weeks now, guy's is there any news on wether a fix is in the works for Audio Converter Plus by Abyssmedia or not?

Well I-Sound had a bug in it which turned it back into a trial version. The version was fixed here. Thanks to abyssmedia!

I didn't remember seeing anything about Audio Converter Plus. But I just checked mine and it switched back to a trial version too. Maybe we need to contact abyssmedia about this one too.

nbr,
Apologies for misunderstanding you. Obviously, if a GOTD program automatically tries to update itself, that's going to be a problem with some giveaways as new versions are put on the developers' websites.

Sorry, I guess i wasn't clear. My point is that the program appears to attempt to update itself automatically, with no option provided to the user to abort or disable the process. (At least, if there is such an option, I couldn't find it.) In any case, I started the program, got the message "Your software is out of date," etc., closed the dialog box (there is no "cancel" button), and voila, it had crippled itself. I didn't go to the Abyssmedia website or attempt to download an update or upgrade. I just tried launching the program normally.

When a program is provided by GOTD, it specifies this is the version you'll get, and that no updates will be supplied. So I think, unless exemptions are made by the producers, that if you try to update it, you'll find your GOTD version will revert to a trial version. Best not to risk it, I think, if you want to continue using the program free. Otherwise, if you want upgrades, you'll probably have to buy the full version of the program.

I downloaded and really liked both i-Sound and Audio Converter Plus. Recently, both have reverted back to crippleware. In each case, I launched the program and it apparently checked for an update from the Abyssmedia site. I got a dialog box informing me: "Your version is outdated, please go to the abyssmedia site to update" (or something similar) with an "OK" button. On clicking OK, I got a nag screen telling me to register. On checking the registration section of the prefs, I see that the Giveawayoftheday username is still there but the registration code is gone.

I see now that a patch for i-Sound has been made available. I wish I'd thought to check the forums earlier. I liked i-Sound so much that I actually bought a copy. So... kudos Abyssmedia for a nice piece of software. I'd rather not pay for the converter, though, given that there are so many functional alternatives out there. Is there any chance of a similar patch being made available once again?

I know this problem was mentioned on another thread (link) but it looks like there haven't been any recent posts so I'm adding a new one.

Thanks,
Nathan

Woohoo!! Problem solved. Kudos to AM.

I received a new download of AudioCDBurner today from Abyssmedia. It works fine now. Great support!

KC & Dad,

I just posted a request for Easy CD-DA Extractor.
Seems that it may help each of you.
Check the link in the post for more info.

I found trouble also. This will only burn files ripped from other CD's. Would not convert my large catalog of MP3's. When I uninstalled the program, the developer had a screen to ask why you didn't want it, so I told them. They were nice enough to respond by email and confirm that the program only burns files of a certain format. My thumbs up is now a big thumbs down.

Hmmmm, can't sleep.

'When U Save' sure package their adware differently in 2007. If I uninstall it the audio program will not run. So I blocked it from internet access,..same result. Removed the registry entries,..same thing again. Profiling, activity tracing adware rattles my mojo, so SoftwareDepo can keep their freebies.

Apologies for suggesting that anyone try their CD Ripper.

!!! WARNING - ADWARE !!!
------------------------

Bahhhh! Don't install software from this site (the link). http://www.download3000.com/download-count-home-13194.html

I just tried a program and it comes bundled with 'WHEN U SAVE' Adware.

I should have known...Grrrrr!

I'll look into it tomorrow.

rspdad,

I hate computers. Other members may give you better info., but that exception looks like the program does not recognize your optical drive, so it can not set an auto burn speed. Therefore it throws out a failure message.

First, check this link to see if your cd burner is compatible with the software. http://www.abyssmedia.com/cdburner/drives.shtml

If you don't see it there, post the exception and your cd type/model on the Abysmedia forum.

Meantime, try the freeware burner above (I returned to edit the link into my post as you were posting, so you may have missed it) - You may even prefer it to the GAOTD download.

Good luck.

Now me sleeps...zzzz zzzzzz zzzzzz "Thank God for Nero and Cyberlink" zzzz zzzzzz zzzzz....

The program lacks a manual cd burn test speed. I also got the following message each time I opened the program:
["StartBurner_GrabberSetSpeeds() failed, exception 8, status 0, text "StartBurn ScsiTransportSPT1:Executed CDB:Command failed:"]

Here's a review from Brothersoft.com for the freeware link in my post above.

Use Advanced Audio CD Burner to burn custom high-quality CDs from your favorite MP3s and play them back in your car or home stereo or portable CD player! It is fairly simple to use and just a couple of clicks will get you burning.This is the best CD Burner software that I have ever used and I would highly recommend it to anyone. it's incredibly simple yet it does everything you need in order to burn audio or data cd's. you can listen your favoriate MP3 or WAV songs on regular stereo, car CD players, and so on. Advanced Audio CD Burnerhelp you to Burn is a program for Windows that lets you create and record audio or data CDs with any Windows PC with an installed CD recorder.

I didn't download this program, but it sounds like they are asking about burn speed. Burning software needs to know at what speed tracks can be recorded to a cd or dvd. Does the program have a manual cd burn speed test? If so, you may need to run a test, initially, prior to dragging files to the window for burning.

If that does not fix the problem, try their forum. It may prompt them to solve your query faster (publicly) than via e-mail (privately).

If all else fails, try this free burner.

Am still having problems with Audio CD Burner when I drag a track to the appropriate window:

"Acces violationat adress 004F5694 in module 'Audiocdburner.exe'. Read of address 00000000."

I sent an earlier email and got this reply:

Did you get any error messages before? on startup? Its looks like engine not initialized because
Recording Speed list is empty.

I don’t know what this means, but I am able to burn CDs with other programs with no problem. I tried to register this product, but since in was a download from giveawayofthe day, I hadn’t a serial number to enter into the registration form. Is failure to register a root cause of the problem? What else will fix the problem?

I am still stuc. Can you help?
