Thumbs up :
-Clean interface
-Fair speed process
-Multiple languages

Thumbs down :
-How they try to sell you the product by putting pictures of Awards from downloading websites (that don't exist anymore like http://download2you.com/ and are unknwown to most of us).
-DVDvideosoft offers more than Total Audio Converter does and it's free and a lot more user friendly (http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/free-dvd-video-software.htm)
-CoolUtils try to show their software as a very powerful software for a tiny price but you can find better for free and the description they are giving to their software is just killing it... too much is too much "everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. That's what we had in mind developing Total Audio Converter. "
-It offers Youtube audio download but once Youtube will make a new version (every 3-4weeks) the software will be outdated and will need an update and oh surprise you got to pay :)

I'll pass on this one.

Weird:

The GOTD version: Total Audio Converter v.5.1.0.42

The version on CoolUtils.com: Total Audio Converter v.3.0.1.88 (on the page actually listed as v.3.0.1.54)

They appear to be really different versions, not only visually (even though they are both registered by the same GOTD activation)... Just wondering what the actual difference is.

I appreciate the free alternatives provided above as always. This registered fine on W7/x64.
Watch the video HERE and it should save you some time learning how to use it. It does have a nice and simple interface.

I performed two tests. The first test was to convert an album I already had ripped to my computer from .wma to .mp3 and it worked great.

The second test was to rip a CD to my computer to FLAC format (which makes the files large but of the highest quality possible.) It worked great. I even analyzed the .flac file with the freeware programs, GSpot and AuCDtect and they passed my tests. I then listened to the flacs using Foobar2000 and they sounded great.

This is definitely a keeper that I will be glad to have in my Audio Tools folder.

Successfully extracted the audio track from an mp4 video and was reasonably fast at it. That is the particular feature that I was looking for. It has a good selection of options for the destination file and the source selection GUI is very easy to use. It also converted FLAC to mp3 quickly and easily.
This looks like a good useful application.

Thanks

I downloaded and tried Free Studio by dvdvideosoft described above by (3) for comparison. Single file conversion speed was comparable.

I think the Total Audio Converter user interface is much cleaner and easier to use. Free Studio drills down through multiple windows which I think is clumsy and too cutesey for my taste. Also it makes noise which I find annoying. I prefer to navigate directory trees directly as in the Folder list that Windows Explorer presents. TAC does this very effectively from a single window with only one pop-up when the destination format is selected. YMMV. TAC is much smaller by a factor of about 6 and seems to do most of the same conversions. I like it. I'm keeping it. Thanks.
