Shockingly Crap - Patrice_Bensoussan_569

The demo is by definition limited as opposed to the full version. Posting a bad comment because the demo is limited is really silly. If the demo worked as described (i.e. with limitation to 12 seconds/200kb) then I don't see why you are giving such a bad comment. If you want to use the full version just buy it and don't post bad comments because you expect any good software to be free.

Shockingly Crap response... - danteism

Uhm... the user has every reason to give such a bad review when the DEMO itself is so bad. No one is saying that all good software should be free BUT... a demo should give a user an opportunity to actually preview a product's worth. This demo is so severely crippled that it is impossible to do so.

Also, suggesting that this is "shareware" is a misrepresentation. Every developer has the right to demand money for their hard work, but shareware by definition needs to share something of value free of charge... otherwise it's simply commercial software.

And that's what this is. :-/

Shockingly Crap - Gene van Troyer

I've been using the freeware version (2.2.1) for sometime now, and it7s anything but crap. In fact, it's pretty good. Since the developer decided to charge for it, the demo version may be crap because it's too crippled to do its thing.

That should be a hint to the developer: Uncripple EasyWMA and make it fully functional for a week or a set number of launches.

I haven't upgraded because I have other free/shareware converters to handle just about any other codec (Audacity, xACT, mpc2aiff, FfmpegX. etc), and I don't have a huge need to deal with any of the other formats EasyWMA covers other than WMA.
