Pros
Actually did convert the file I asked it to convert, properly and quickly.
Cons
Came bundled with a ton of other stuff, most of which was sketchy at best, and at least two things on the list I couldn't decline or skip installing. My anti-malware software caught one and stopped it from installing, but something it did changed my Chrome settings, logged me out of everything, and generally screwed up my browser which doesn't sound good.
Summary
AVOID. Sure it'd be a great program but who knows what it does to your computer, and some of the additional programs aren't optional.

Pros
Not one SINGLE one ? even after all the cleanup BS. The one from Maniac Tools is FAR BETTER than this and is only ad-driven not full of malware.
SADLY EVERY SINGLE ONE of 'CONVERT AUDIO FREE' products are that way!!
SO STAY AWAY FROM 'CONVERT AUDIO FREE' products and site
Cons
Fraudulently ADVERTISED as FREE yet nothing but ONLY adware!
Fraudulently does NOT let you know from the website it is only 95% adware.
Fraudulent! Even if you carefully disable all allowable adware options you are still FLOODED with ads. Had to down load the 'Autorun.exe' utility from Microsoft, to git rid of it.
Fraudulently tried to change your start page, tried to change the default search-engine, and actually installs swiffsearch ? one of the WORSE malware/adware around.
Fraudulently PURCHASES ANY possible positive comments on here!
More ads than even Firefox Ad-blocker Plus could not handle them ? however
PLEASE NOTE: AdBlocker Plus was able to be modified to block all. HINT, HINT!
Summary
CERTAINLY not worth the cleanup hassle!
A person or company is ONLY as good as their word. SO, if they will lie about ONE thing they will lie about ANYTHING! That leaves me wondering just WHAT damage, spy-ware or virus have they left in my system?
ABSOLUTELY cannot understand how CNET could allow/recommend such BS!! Reviews must now be bought off :(

Are you kidding me?
Cons
Installs a TON of malware and spyware, and it didn't even install the application it was supposed to be! Why is this on here??? I thought CNET was trustworthy! I just wasted half my day cleaning it off my computer!

Pros
No idea. I never got around to using the actual program, since I "rage uninstalled" after seeing the nonsense dumped onto my laptop during the install.
Cons
The installation process kept loading more and more adware onto my system. Want a few laughs? Install this piece of s--t and then go to Programs and Features and see all the additional trash dumped onto your system.
Summary
This kind of sewage gives software authors everywhere a bad name. Shame on CNET for degrading themselves with this kind of useless garbage.
