   Not too shabby @ $29.95 and would satisfy the needs of some recent requests at GAOTD.

   I use Easy CD-DA Extractor and, while it's a great program (probably the best) for ripping CD tracks, it will not, under any circumstances, convert .wma format files!
   When you try and convert that format you will get this message:

   "DRM Protected (Copy-Protected) WMA files are not supported!

   The owner of the music has set a restriction; you are not allowed to copy or convert this content"

   I've tried over 12 different so-called "converter" programs and I've found only one that lives up to it's hype and actually converts protected .wma files to .mp3 or .wav.
   Media Audio Capture, http://www.e-soft.co.uk/, DOES convert those pesky protected files by re-recording them in real time and then saving them as .mp3 or .wav format files. That is the ONLY way conversion can take place of DRM encoded audio files.

   Media Audio Capture has a batch conversion version that will convert up to 999 files without having to stop and save each track individually.
   I just converted an old Johnny Mathis "album" with 83 .wma tracks to .mp3. I set the program to convert to .mp3; set the output location; fired the program up and went to bed. When I got up all 83 tracks were converted.

   Not too shabby for only $24.95.

   Hopefully GAOTD can get it on the roster.

   Thanks for the info Adiemus61. I'll take a peek at MAC.

   I posted because a couple of people were looking for a better cd audio burner than those on offer at GAOTD. I knew of CD-DA as an inexpensive all-rounder, but personally use 2 other well known products to serve all my needs.

   Hmmm, I have only been here for a week, but have already noticed GAOTD take a dim view on posts containing anything to do with defeating copyright - It's in their best interests to do so. So I'll leave it there.

   Cheers.

   Frustrating that I can find no indication on the site whether the software is commercial or freeware - no mention anywhere on ordering or prices. I guess I'll have to download and install before I can find the price.

   I'd prefer it if they sold cars. You have to take the car home and drive it around for 30 days before they mention, "oh by the way... about the money..." heh heh.

   You must be blocking scripts.

   P.S. I wish they did sell cars. They would all be the same price! Lemme see,...Wolks Vaaaaagen, Hummer or Lamborghini??? Hmmm, tough decision at $24.95,..make it $24.50, throw in the camel and ya got a deal.

   yup - blocking scripts (shame that's the only way people will be able to find out how to order their stuff) Not a static link or a notification to not block scripts.

   Oh well - it's a fair trade - a cute drop down menu... or no sales. (not my problem, though)
