E-mail: angsigbinputi@yahoo.com

Great converter, works like a charm! Thank you!

The software won’t run. It gives an error message about a missing dll

for comment #37....
thanks for the links.... KAPPER...

Download the missing dll for Windows 2000 here

http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/G/GDIPLUS.DLL/5.1.3097.0/download.html

Save it to desktop and run the audio converter and it should pick it up!

I'm with #76 on this one, installed fine but anytime I try to launch it it freezes up and I have to End Task it to close.

What a great opportunity to use this programs that cost no extra money! great job! please dont stop.

Just what I've been looking for. This program is great and meets all my needs plus some. Thanks!

This is crap!!!.
What is the point of giving away software that doesn't Work

Great site. Thanks for all your FREE offerings! Not all will be taken. We each may have other preferred software, there is a lot out there. I'm amazed that some people can find fault with your generosity.

Nice program.
Ran AdAware and Spybot before and after installation - no spyware detected.

Same problem with dll for Windows 2000 install. Please advise on a solution.

thanks give away site and programmers i love the program thaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I keep getting a message that the activate.exe file is a protected file and s popup asks for a password when I try to activate. Does anyone have any ideas?

No spyware that I can see, so far.
Looks like a nifty program, especially that it can read/write any format that I'd care for it to support. Unfortunately, it seems to have issues with my WAVs -- I get static along with the music/sound.
The program seems to use libraries that are open source, and yet, the program itself is normally 18.50$ -- why?
Despite the large range of codecs, the command line supposedly is limited to WAV, MP3 and WMA - shabby. Completely worthless for batch operations, though thankfully you can still convert a list at a time from within the program.
Also, despite some of these formats supporting more than two channels (stereo), the program itself only understands mono and stereo.
...and finally, what's with the color? Could this not have been made an on/off option at the very least?
Sorry, I think I'll stick to other converters (Foobar2000 and dbPowerAmp come to mind).

Installed, converted AAC type to MP3 - Easy !!! Thx GOTD.

FYI, I just installed it and NO toolbar or other adware was installed (at least none was detected by Spybot TeaTimer). Thanks for the great software!

This is pretty good for those who need the ease to do this. Personally I prefer the advanced tools :)

Big thanks, very nice software!

'Audacity' heavily seconded as the best free/open source audio editor. Does 99% of what Sound Forge does, minus the huge price tag. Only downside to Audacity is it might be a little tough for audio/computer newbies, but if you're not a newb then go for it. It's the best!

Downloaded today's GOTD offer, but will pass as I got the Sogou Toolbar alert too. Already got the audio ripper/converter that was offered Dec. 19th. Thought about comparing both, keeping only the fav, but after the warning on today's decided to stop the installation and delete.

I like the explorer integration and it's pretty to look at - the programme not Joyce, that is. But I'll still find myself using Switch or GX Transcoder (probably)

this is a crappy piece of software because there are much better ones like mencoder (mplayer) which are open source GPL unlike this proprietery crapp

all my life I have dreamed of a MOD converter. Now, you have given me my dream GOTD.

For "nikhilg (#35), there are quite a few decent freeware and open source audio editors out there. My favourite is Audacity (open source) which you can find here . . . http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

My spyware protection found a piece of spyware in the program that is called sogou toolbar. The spyware was found in the same file that i downloaded the program into. The program still worked after i removed it. The piece of spyware has a rating of 4 out of 5 in damage.

Man this program is really annoying with it nag. I though it was free. Avoid!!!

For # 35 # who asked the following

"where can I get a free to use (or open source) audio editor software?

Comment by nikhilg — January 3, 2007 @ 10:44 am"

----------------------------------------------------------

I suggest "Direct MP3 Direct Cut" its free, no adware, and it works fine...been using it for years..Google it.

--------------------------------------------

As for the program, I might pass on it due to the "possible" adware/toolbar problem. But, thanks for offering the free program nevertheless!

Wait to tell you the truth I don't know if an antivirus or anything can be uninstalled in safe mode because I just remembered I had problems uninstalling other software in safe mode. I think what I might have done is accessed msconfig and took it off startup and then uninstalled it in normal mode when I could get back to the desktop in normal mode without the computer freezing.

"#21: You can have as many anti-virus programs as you want installed: they will NOT conflict with each other.

What WILL conflict are firewalls. "

Not true, they can both conflict. I accidentally installed two antivirus programs on my computer a couple years ago, Norton and Mcafee and guess what they conflicted. I couldn't even run my computer, had to go into safe mode to uninstall one of them because the computer was freezing on the startup process. I installed Mcafee the other month here I had some program on the computer which I mainly thought was for spyware, trojans and I don't even think the program had real time protection, it was conflicting with Mcafee. I had some freezes and after I found out what the problem was and uninstalled Avl Mini, my computer did not freeze anymore.

http://www.antiy.net/product/avl/code.htm (If you want to try it, there it is). It's free, at least that version is. You have to go back every month for the new registration code. I also uninstalled it and reinstalled it every month, till I started using Mcafee again. They didn't get along on my computer too well.

Thanks, Giveaway of the Day project team, for post #51. I feel better now. :-)

YES!!! MOD FILE CONVERTER!!!!!!

Hello everyone!
Ok, once again we have false positives on Adware.
Here we go with a description of Sogou Toolbar which is supposedly hidden in this giveaway:
http://www.pestpatrol.com/spywarecenter/pest.aspx?id=453098380

I did manual searches for the registry entries and files mentioned there - nothing found. Of course, automatic scanners found nothing as well.
Let me know if you find any evidence of the adware here, I'll investigate that.

Yours,
Slava
GAOTD

Sounds good, but I'm wary of installing it because of reports of Sogou Toolbar (adware) being installed.

Any more info from the GOTD team or anyone else???

Webroot Spy Sweeper prevents installation because of Adware. Program will not install without Adware

I had the same problem with the DLL. Program wouldn't launch. :(

Thanks GOTD

Anyone here tried the Direct Audio Converter and CD Ripper GOTD offered a while ago? If so which one of these is better?

Nice !
But how do we rip CD?

Awesome! Needed it for my PSP

OK I guess. I'll stick with DbpowerAmp however, as this one dumps all of the file tags. It's pretty good though, for anyone who isn't bothered about having the info in the end file.

#37 Where you unzipped the software there should be an "Activate.exe" program. Click on that to register the software. Be sure your internet connection is on. Great program GOTD. I love this site.

Its cool man!!!

Looks like this could come in handy. Thanks for another great freebie!

Regarding #33 - never mind. I'm an idiot. I figured it out.

Does anyone else get the trial version? As I'm trying to convert a music file, I keep getting a popup saying "this program is shareware - you can test this program, but you cannot use it for commercial use. This dialog does not appear in the registered version."

How do I register it? It suspends the conversion while that popup box is up.

This program is Great!!! Took a long audio stream cue and encoded it to perfection with the proper tags - saved hours of work. Works on Windows Vista too.

Misha - MediaCoder can strip the audio from the video file

http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=mediacoder

From DVD use the trial version of DVD Audio Extractor

http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/

Hey, any program with my name on it has got to be good. LOL Great program, thanx GOTD team.

where can I get a free to use (or open source) audio editor software?
