So what do the later versions do if they don't convert mp3 files:question: (I thought that was the whole point of the program !!)

I've just checked out the program features stated on their website and it still states "Convert between audio formats whilst preserving ID Tags. Practically every audio type is supported: mp3 ............." :

Can Godspeed (or anyone else) possibly clarify this point please :xmassmile

You just needed to read a few lines more and you would of seen the following :-

** mp3 encoder on 30 day trial license

Godspeed

As above, the mp3 encoding feature was free upto version 10 then it was removed as being 'free'.

Just as reference there are other free programs out there -

Cdex
AudioGrabber

(Fraunhofer Professional codec required to rip at high quality (320kB))

yeah, I did notice the footnote, but the ** seemed to refer back to the "no nags" reference so I assumed that the "mp3 encoder" bit must have been something different from the "mp3 converter" (jargon overload !!!!!)

Judging by the popularity of this "starter mp3 player" I guess there's going to be a lot of us "mp3-techno-newbies" having to get used to a whole new world of mp3 jargon and other technical stuff as regards file formats / bitrates / codecs etc

looks like the latest "must-have" bargain is going to be the Medion 1Gb MP3 player from Kwiksave / Somerfield:

Should give the Tesco staff something of a respite as all the scores of bargain-hunters head for Kwiksave / Somerfield :eek:

Seems to me that mp3 players have hit rock bottom after a gradual decline over the last year or so - wouldn't be surpised if the current spate of "bargains" triggers price cuts across the industry and these sorts of prices become the norm from now on (but don't hold me to this !!):p
