CNET Editors' review
Pazera Free Audio Extractor is an easy-to-use program that lets users extract digital audio from a variety of video sources. The program's intuitive interface and versatility make it a great choice for pulling audio tracks from video recordings.
The program's interface is well designed and fairly self explanatory, and we had no trouble getting started with it. Users simply select the videos they want to extract audio from, choose a destination folder, and specify the output format. Pazera does the rest. It handles most major and a few minor audio formats, including MP3, WAV, and OGG. You can adjust the bit rate, sample frequency, and channels, as well as set time and size limits for files. The program quickly extracts audio information and saves it in the specified location and format. It even supports batch processing, which makes it easy to extract audio from multiple videos at the same time. Pazera doesn't have a Help file, which is always a drawback, but the program is easy enough to figure out without any guidance. Overall, we like Pazera Free Audio Extractor a lot; it's among the best we've seen of this type of program, and we've seen a few. It's not particularly fancy, but it has some useful features, and it's extremely easy to use.
Pazera Free Audio Extractor is, as the name suggests, free. The program comes as a ZIP file and is accessibly after extraction with no need for installation. We highly recommend this program to all users.

"Okay, but slow and didn't work fully"
Version: Pazera Free Audio Extractor 1.4
Pros
*Small file package size
*Easy, intuitive interfaceCons
*Converted one set of FLAC files, but couldn't convert a different set, downloaded another converter, Free Studio, and Free Studio completed the second set and it was faster
*Slow
*Curiously, doesn't install, that just seems weird to meSummary
Seemed okay, but it was slow and it failed converting the second batch of files I tried. It seems weird that it doesn't install. It does give you full reports about its activities as it is converting, which was neat to see.
I tried Free Studio next, and it seems a lot better. -

"So Far Its Terrific"
Version: Pazera Free Audio Extractor 1.4
Pros
Does what it says it will do. Quality of output matches that of the input. Easy to use. except the "Convert" button is not as obvious as I would like. It is on the top toolbar and I expected it to be in the lower right corner
Cons
This is VERY minor, but the "Convert" button is not as obvious as I would like. It is on the top toolbar and I expected it to be in the lower right corner somewhere. Haven't found any actual problems.

"Its does what its says, but not the greatest."
Version: Pazera Free Audio Extractor 1.4
Pros
Works, easy to use
Cons
Doesn't compare to the quality output of AOA's free extractor.

I downloaded this as a replacement for AOA Audio extractor. It does not match the high quality output of AOA, however since it no longer works on my computer it will have to do.

No cons. Do not know why, but was unable to use programme downloaded from CNet website, my computer suggests it is not a true Win32 programme, or is missing some .dll files. Worked first time downloaded and extracted from the Pazera-software.com site.
