Hi,

A couple of months ago, I went to download Sound Taxi.  The page talked all 
about Sound Taxi.  However, what actually downloaded was a program called WMA 
Convert,  which seems to do exactly the same thing as Sound Taxi.  So I assumed 
the program's name had changed; maybe someone else had bought it and renamed it 
or some such.  Is what you guys are downloading now called WMA Convert or Sound 
Taxi?  If the latter, then I guess there are two pretty much identical programs 
out there.

Cheers,
Anna

Steve, this program is simply fantastic.  I have not seen a program
which does what this software can do.  It would be nice to have a bit of
scripting done for it to avoid using the jaws cursor, but I don't think
people yet have appreciated exactly what this program will allow them to
do and the benefits of it.  So everyone, go a take a look at it, the URL
is in the message below.

Hi folks,

I have just discovered Sound Taxi, http://www.soundtaxi.info.  It can
convert any sound file, whether DRM'ed or not, to clear MP3.  I love
this
thing.  Apparently, the way it works is to stream the information from
your
player, such as Windows Media Player, to itself, instead of your sound
card,
at high speed, then convert the output to MP3.

In my listening experience, you don't appear to lose any quality.

I have tried it with WMA files from 7digital and it converts them no
problem, and I reckon it would work with Napster files too, though I
have
never tried them yet.  It also apparently converts Apple AAC files, so
Itunes is fair game too.

You can download a free demo, the limitation being that it will only
convert
up to 30 seconds of any file, but you will get an idea on how good this
is.

Please note, it does not crack the DRM.  So if your file won't play in
your
media player, it is not going to convert.

Anyway, I love this thing, and thought I'd let you all know.

All the best

Steve
