Have you tried Audacity?  Really free - does a lot of stuff with music. I
use it to transpose keys on mp3s.

But that's not the point Charlotte. There is free software out there, and if
I use it and it sucks then, as you say, I can't complain. The grouse is with
vendors who pretend their software is free when it isn't. Last night I
wanted to convert something from one music format to another. Found a "free"
utility which, only after I'd downloaded, installed and run it, told me it
would convert the first 30 seconds and then wanted payment to do more. That
doesn't fall into the "get what you pay for" category, more the "pretending
to be what it is not" category. I later found a truly free utility; a bit
rough around the edges but did what it said and did it for nothing.

Um... "You get what you pay for?"

Yep, happened to me only last night Max. What looked like free software was
the usual free trial of limited features. Wish there was a quick way to
distinguish the truly free. Anyone got the magic key to this?

Hi Guys,

Do you, like me, get really irritated when searching for FREE software to
find that the search result is cluttered by Commercial Software which offers
a FREE DOWNLOAD just so they can get the word FREE into the search engines!
It is really a time waster, grrrrr..

My Friday rant.

Max
