Is Freeware worth persisting with or is it crap? Downloaded 2 freeware programmes and neither work properly - both coming up with error messages. Wondering if its easier to just pay for one.

.... I was asking a question not making a statement. And I was asking about freeware generally speaking.

Freeware way encode to avi with Fairuse Wizard, then open avi in VirtualDub, extract the audio to a wav file then convert that to mp3 ,. works for the esteemed flewy! lol

#1 demand your refund. Thats shocking!Never mind they probly
weren't installed properly because of
ID 10 T errors & PEBKAC.Its a ripoff
You should pay for everything,start
with the air you breathe.It will be
so much better if you pay,an air tax
for ID10T's has to come.
