Re: WPM to MP3 without the burn
Thanks for all the recommendations. I installed Sound Taxi and had the following experiences. First, was disappointed you only get 30 seconds worth of conversion until you buy it. The least they could do is give you a week to play with it at full length conversion. Second, the first machine I installed it on, it drove that machine crazy. Windows boot-up was dragged to a crawl, my CPU fans went into hyper-spin because of some kind of CPU drain I cannot explain, and the whole system just ran super-sluggishly until I removed Sound Taxi, at which point everything returned to normal operation. Fans slowed down, startup was its normal quick self, sluggishness was removed. Funny thing, too: When it was un-installed, I had to reboot the system, but not when it was initially installed. On the second machine I tried it on, none of the above happened. It just slipped right in, you wouldn't even know it was there. Strange, eh?

Re: WPM to MP3 without the burn
Hello Keith, I used that software to convert a protected audio file before, but I can't remember how I done it. But this was more then 3 years ago. I didn't care to much for Sound Taxi back then because of the accessibility problems that I had with it at the time. They have gotten a whole lot better at addressing accessibility problems for blind people cense then think The Lord, but it works now! My best regards.

Re: WPM to MP3 without the burn
Hi, Well your right. You used to be able use it to convert to WMA using the Nero Direct show plug-in for Windows Media version 9. MS closed the door on that on a long time ago. You can still use DeepProRam to convert Audible files. - Original Message - From: DJ DOCTOR P [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Friday, April 25, 2008 3:13 AM Subject: Re: WPM to MP3 without the burn Hello Keith, I used that software to convert a protected audio file before, but I can't remember how I done it.
