Yet another program that uses a paranoid 'phone home' copy-protection scheme that Robs the Paying Customer should anything happen to the author. Aside the rude, unscrupulous and potentially illegal use of the Customer's resources this undisclosed and devious strategy shows a fundamental misconception about program usage and ownership.

Software authors such as this should get a clue: The Purchaser of the software is the Owner of their copy in perpetuity, to do with for their personal use as they so desire, regardless of changes to their computer system or their non-simultaneous use on multiple computer systems. Any perversion of this principle is not only unacceptable but _will_ eventually result in the Customer losing their ability to use the software. Then the Legitimate User will have lost their investment due to Fraud.

Having a program phone home to verify itself, or tying it to a particular system configuration, becomes an act of Larceny upon the User when, inevitably, the programmer's ability to provide re-authorization is lost.

And this from a so-called 'Sound Converter' that doesn't recognize System 7 sound files and refuses to convert ring-tones to other formats? That is not only Pathetic, it is essentially Useless to much of it's target audience.
