Hey Guys, I have an activated copy of Hope for Pandora on my old Vista machine. I installed it onto my new Windows 7 machine, but apparently I need to activate it before I can use it. I wrote to Support ten days ago but have gotten no response. Do I have to buy the program again to get it to

To put it in different words from Peter's, the support for Hope is hopeless. They'll take your money fast enough, but don't expect any response from them. But I hope you get yours fixed. If it weren't for this list, I wouldn't have gotten mine fixed. Evan -Original Message- From:

Anybody Here Used the WavePad Sound Editing Software from NCH?

2014-05-12 Thread Evan Reese
Hey folks, Just wondering because I need something that will remove silence from ends of audio files. The problem is that they’re AAC files. Audacity says it won’t do it. WavePad will do it, but in demo mode it won’t save my changes to them. The price of the software, “without VST plugins

I own this software. It is usable with reservations but certainly does not come near Goldwave for accessibility. If you have not purchased this package I would download and test the Goldwave demo before you make a final decision on a sound editor. HTH Andrea On 13/05/2014 3:03 AM, Evan Reese wrote

Thanks John, so what CD ripping program out there uses Gracenote? Or what CD ripping program out there has a service as good as Gracenote? I know it isn't CDex, because I've tried that one and it isn't as good at knowing what CDs I tried it with as Winamp was. But if I can't use Winamp to rip
