Room for improvement - Version: 1.12, 9/7/2007 10:12AM PST

It does what it says it will do. It needs to be multi-threaded so it can take advantage of multi-processor systems and so that it you start a batch conversion you are able to cancel the process without force quitting.

The Windows version does RealMedia files (.ra, .ram, .rm),
but the Mac version does not.

Watch Out ... it screws other apps - Version: 1.12, 5/21/2007 01:48AM PST

I thought switch was a fantastic little app. Great for converting the Windows sound files my students wanted to put in their PowerPoint presentations on Intel iMacs.
That was until I found it was totally screwing my Photoshop 7 app. It somehow managed to take over the Photoshop icons and substitute a treble cleff icon.
Go figure!

The good: Cheap, pretty easy to use. Good for converting from WMA to MP3, as well as many other formats.
The not-so-good: 1. The built-in help is from the Windows version, so it's nearly useless. 2. Bad packaging: they have an unnecessary .pkg Installer file inside a .dmg file inside an unnecessary .zip archive. 3. It silently downloads and installs support programs into /Library/Application Support. Tacky but harmless. 4. The commercial Plus version seems dodgy given that various open-source and free programs (FLAC, Ogg, LAME, Flip4Mac) do the actual conversion, and Switch is just the GUI.
The bottom line: If you're cheap and don't mind a few rough edges, Switch is a good solution for many audio conversion needs.

I've been trying for years and have been somewhat successful finding a way to change music files to MP3 with little work involved. This one does it. It's fabulous and fast and very easy to use. I've never come across anything like it before. I haven't had one hickcup with it, and can't understand why anyone would have a problem. (Tiger 10.4.9, dual 2.3)

This seems to work great for me to turn those annoying flac files into mp3. Now maybe those aliens will stop coming here and probing me with that damn cold over sized flash light looking thang.
Installed it, it vanished. - Version: 1.12, 3/27/2007 07:04PM PST

Opened .dmg file, ran installer. Installer seemed to work. Program is now not visible anywhere on harddrive. There is no readme file to explain what installer is liable to do.
