once I tried to run it, it could not see my CD drive but the program directed me to an adaptec driver.
#Soundtaxi tunebite install
The only "problem" I had besides the downloaded install file being corrupted 3 times until I found another link on the homepage to it. Hymm does not yet support iTunes 7x's m4p but SoundTaxi does.
#Soundtaxi tunebite trial
I purchased this weekend after trying the trial for one conversion. Odd I just came from another forum which had nothing bad to say about SoundTaxi. Given the non-existant support, the performance issues, the program errors, and the problems others seem to have had with this program, I would strongly suggest you don't consider even installing the trial version of this program. If I haven't heard anything in a week, I'll bump it up so it sends it every hour, then every minute if that's what it takes to gget a reply. I'm setting my e-mail up to resend the message everyday until they reply. I have e-mail their "support" ( ) numerous times but have not even been given the courtesy of an auto-reply to tell me they got the message. I want it to use 100% processor time to convert and get them done as quickly as possible.
So besides the extra minute added (by the error above) to the time it takes to convert each song, the program is only utilizing half the available resources to it. There is very little hard disk activity going on so that's not the bottleneck. With the program running two threads (converting two songs at the same time), my processor shows less than 50% utilization. The third/last thing is more of a performance issue. I don't have a clue why it does this but it really needs to be fixed. If I keep doing this it'll eventually convert all the files in the queue. I can go back after it's finished and click on the songs with the error and tell the program to convert them again, and it does the same thing (converting two and erroring on the third). It keeps doing this throughout the queue, so when it's finished the queue, every third song wasn't converted. Then it says Error Conversion did not start within 60 seconds and goes on to the next song. When a thread finishes, it goes to the next file and freezes the program for 60 seconds. After I've added songs to the queue and started them converting, it launches two threads, each of which starts converting a file. Second problem is somesort of timeout error. Major pain in the A** especially given how often this program crashes. Not the actual songs (files) but the list in the queue is gone. So lets say I add 100 songs to the list and start it converting, then the program crashes, or something else happens requiring me to exit SoundTaxi and/or reboot the computer. Other problems include it skipping every third file in the queue, and it barely utilizes half the available resources for conversion, slowing the conversion process down.įirst, there is no way to save the queue/conversion list. Also there's no way to save the queue so everytime it crashes all the songs have to be added back in again. If I add very many songs to the queue the program crashes and won't restart without rebooting the computer first. Although it isn't very reliable, it does work over half the time. I tried the shareware version of SoundTaxi and I didn't have any problems except for the time limitation, so I bought the uncrippled version.
