"THIS IS MALWARE"
Version: Free Convert M4A to MP3 AMR OGG AAC Converter 5.8
Pros
obviously no pros this is MALWARE
Cons
Everyone seems to be mentioning the fact that this thing won't convert more than 3 minutes worth of audio but only one other reviewer seems to have mentioned the fact that THIS IS MALWARE.
I tried to download this thing and it installed about 5 different programs on my computer including CouponCompanion, IMinent, InfoAtoms (and more). I tried to open chrome and it had changed all my settings, made it so bing! was my default search, made my home page some obnoxious advertising site etc. Same for IE9 and Firefox. I have no idea what else it did but am now in the process of finding out.
Very frustrated with CNET. Also very annoyed that in order to create this account to post this, I was forced to sign up for the newsletter.Summary
Absolutely absurd that CNET has malware available for download on its site.

"Nearly Prefect"
Version: Free Convert M4A to MP3 AMR OGG AAC Converter 5.8
Pros
Did exactly what I needed, and didn't do anything unexpected or non-obvious that I didn't need or want.
Cons
No hidden agenda like switching out to some bogus search engine in such a devious way there was no getting around it.
Summary
Free programs don't always work as expected - this one does just what is wanted, just the way I hoped.

"Seriously undermines Cnet's credibility"
Version: Free Convert M4A to MP3 AMR OGG AAC Converter 5.8
Pros
None whatever
Cons
A piece of crapware that has all the hallmarks of being malicious; avoid it like the plague.
Summary
It's all been said in other reviews (apart from the mystery 5* one; how did that happen?).
However, with such a dire piece of software, how come it gets a 4* 'Editor's Review' from Cnet? Makes me think I've been ridiculously naive in the past, and trusted a site that's actually pretty worthless. I'll be much more cautious in future about downloading stuff from Cnet. -
"Doesn't convert M4A to AMR"
Version: Free Convert M4A to MP3 AMR OGG AAC Converter 5.8
Pros
None whatsoever
Cons
Despite clearly stating it in the title, this program does not convert M4A to AMR. Moreso, as others have said, it's not free at all, and when it does work, it does a **** job (low quality).
Summary
This developer wasted his time and the time of everyone downloading it.

"Only converts 3 minutes"
Version: Free Convert M4A to MP3 AMR OGG AAC Converter 5.8
Pros
None. A waste of time.
Cons
Cuts off conversion at 2:59. No mention of this in UI. Wasted my time.
Must pay for longer conversion. iTunes does this conversion for free.Summary
This is NOT freeware. You must pay to convert anything more than 3 minutes. Use iTunes. It converts m4a to mp3 for free.
