Glad to be of help :)

Just found out it does FLAC files too & will encode multiple formated files all at the same time. Not bad for free.

Make sure you don't load the toolbar. There's not a problem with it, but who wants loads of toolbars. They are helpers & can allow viruses in like back doors do. >:(

Switch will not decode w64 files (Sony format) I think they are supposed to support up to 4 GiG & used by Cubase SX series onwards! :'(

Tried it on Sunday morning, wanted to convert to wav 16 bit / 44.1 khz. Got around it though :)

I have loads of links for free plugin sites. If I don't get them on here within the next few weeks, bug me :-\

I use switch file converter...I use it untill trial runs out and then download it again and trial starts over again...one of these days I will break down and just purchase it I think...its only $29.99 I think.

I also like their express rip software as well which is pretty cheap at $19.99.

Try the link I put on. I don't think it ever runs out. It may be the free one. I have had it on my computer for a few years,IT'S ALWAYS WORKED. Why does this keep going to capital letters? >:(

Had a look at the Ripper. Will have a proper look later :)

Thanks for the reply Vincent!
