"There are FREE alternatives out there"
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
It does what it should and if you avoid to install their extra bloatware (toolbars) which monitors your surfing habits it's a decent piece of software.
Cons
Browser toolbars which monitors surfing behaviour and looks at what pages you visit are NOT ok.
Don't see the point in purchasing when there are free tools that does the same without costing anything.Summary
Compared to Helium Audio Converter (which is TOTALLY free!) I just can't seem to figure out why I would chose this software over totally free software (which doesn't even contain toolbars or has premium versions).
-
"Free version not worth it."
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
Seems to work OK.
Cons
Free trial period is only 14 days - then you have to install other software they are pushing. Installer came with three other programs that didn't really relate to audio conversion (browser toolbars, for example) - if you don't do the advanced install and uncheck the toolbar options, all the other things get installed by default.
Summary
I was not pleased with all the extraneous requirements that went with the free version - I won't be purchasing a license.
-
"Works great! Very Fast!"
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
Switch Sound File Converter was easy for me to figure out and to do what I wanted,
The install has The "Switch File Converter" and also "MixPad Audio Mixer" and "SoundPad Sound Editor".
I have not checked out MixPad or WavePad.Cons
I have not found any Cons.

"Do not download the free version!!!"
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
I did not even get to evaluate this software due to a free install and an attempt to uninstall and reinstall because of a misdirected file destination on my part.
Cons
Once you download the free version, you cannot entirely uninstall for whatever reason all their files from your system. When I attempted to reinstall, There were left over files which prevented a reinsall.Then when you request technical support, they ignore you unless you purchase their paid version. What a scam!!- Stay away!!
Summary
Stay away from the free version!!

"malware detected when uninstalling as per AVG"
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
doesn't have any
Cons
- 4.5mb wav to 3.5mb mp3, not worth it!
- try uninstalling the program, including this wave... and you'll get a malware alert from AVG! -
"Without asking..."
Version: Switch Sound File Converter Plus 4.22
Pros
It worked as it said it would, but should not do more than advertised.
Cons
This product made automatic changes to my "open file" selections in files other than sound! This is a very undesirable "feature" and not tolerable!!
