There are many more people who have had a great deal of success with
this program than those who are having trouble with it. For the wealth
of capabilities the program offers, I suggest that it's very much worth
trying the trial version. Many, many things can now be accomplished
through context menus as well. For instance, to burn a CD/DVD, all one
need do is select the files, bring up a context menu, find the
appropriate disk type under Easy CD-DA Extractor, press enter, wait a
few seconds, and press F8 to proceed. File conversion is as easy. The
problem with the program, and the author acknowledges it and promises a
fix for version 11, is that it is difficult to determine the location
where files are to be stored. For the time being, then, I use a
different program for ripping disks, but for burning a disk, I couldn't
ask for a better, friendlier program than Easy CD-DA Extractor.
