Hi again I like Sound Taxi but became concerned when I found that I could not totally trust it. Recently however using less resources it seems more stable. The problem is that of course when you do a 13 hour book you can't be sure it hasn't left silences in the middle of it.
I'll continue to use Sound Taxi because I don't believe it breaks copyright. I have however found out about two other programs which claim to do the same sort of thing. I don't have time to investigate apart from having looked at their webpages but some of you may wish to try them out. Again I don't think they have copyright problems. I found them on a list thus the blurb below. They are: Alternatives to Sound Taxi Apple should have removed the DRM control long long time ago! How can we convert DRM protected music to unprotected WAV, MP3 or WMA? This problem sucks many iTunes users like me. I tried both TuneBite( http://www.tunebite.com ) and NoteBurner( http://www.noteburner.com) . These two software can convert WMA or even protected itunes music (M4P) to MP3. They worked perfectly on my computer. The only difference between TuneBite and NoteBurner is that TuneBite uses recording technique while NoteBurner burns music onto a virtual CD-R. I cannot tell any difference in terms of the music quality. But I would agree that NoteBurner is faster and more reliable than TuneBite. I recommend NoteBurner. Cheers!
