CNET Editors' review
The solid audio quality of this otherwise run-of-the-mill CD ripper helps make up for its uninspiring looks and meager feature set. Like countless similar programs, PCDays converts CD tracks into MP3 or WAV files. Its straightforward interface is not terribly attractive, but at least it's easy to use. The program automatically detects inserted audio discs; to convert tracks, you simply select them, choose the destination folder, set preferences such as bit rate and quality, and click the appropriate button for the format you want the track to be converted to. The output is quite good. Besides converting files, PCDays can function as a basic music player, displaying the running time of the whole album and each individual track. Apart from that, PCDays doesn't do much, lacking even the ability to scan forward when playing a track. Still for production quality, an audiophile can't ask for much more from a track ripper.
Publisher's Description
From 29Soft:
Convert a file format from CD to MP3 or WAV. Copy, move, delete, rename, play, and search the converted document. PCDays not only can save the file in a different format, but the filename is divided into Master and Sub, which is useful in managing files. Set parameters for compressing the document into MP3 format. The program is compatible with CDDB. Version 3.04 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"It Woked!"
Version: Pcdays 2.5
Summary
I just wanted to convert some CD songs someone had sent me to MP3 format, but after reading the very negative review I tried another product first which did not work. So I came back and tried PCDays and it worked fine. I haven't tried all the features but it did convert CD to MP3 files without my having to read any instructions. I just looked at the interface and clicked what I wanted to do.

"No free trial period"
Version: Pcdays 2.5
Summary
The interface looks good, but the god @#$% thing wouldn't function during the 20 day trial period. When you go to their web site to try and figure out how to make it work, all the text is either written by a blind monkey on acid or a person who used babel fish to convert a foreign language to English.
