Hi Anna,
Well my apologies if I mislead you all on that one, but it looked a bit
different and it didn't work for me as well as Taxi.
As for your question, why not download the demo of Taxi, convert 30 seconds
of a file, and see if it works. If it does, your question is answered. I
can't answer it myself, since I don't use Apple stuff at all any more in
shere disgust, so that's probably the next best thing. With Apple, I don't
like the hoops you have to go to, just to play a darned song.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve and all,
As near as I can tell WMAConvert is very, very similar to SoundTaxi. It
converts in the same way, it costs $15, you can set it to show you an Open
dialog where you select files and then it converts them, if you don't do
this you have a row of nicely labeled buttons you can click with the mouse
cursor. I haven't heard anything in the descriptions of SoundTaxi to
suggest that I ended up with an inferior program when I got WMAConvert. so
I guess either is okay.
One question I have though; with WMAConvert, you can create MP3, WAV or AAC
files. When I created AAC files, I found that they would play on my iPod if
I transferred them with iTunes and played them using the Apple firmware, but
they wouldn't play if I transferred them with Windows Explorer and tried to
play them with Rockbox. I found out they weren't "streamable" and that if I
optimized them with Foobar2000, they would play in Rockbox. Does SoundTaxi
have the option to convert to AAC, and if so, do those AAC files play in
Rockbox? I'm not going to shell out another $15 for SoundTaxi, but I would
be curious to know whether it works better in this regard.
Cheers,
Anna
