Hello everyone,
This isn't really a question about recording, but it is kind of about tech, so I thought the geek section would probably be the right place for it!
Has anyone tried
www.avs4you.com for converting audio files between different file types, and if so, what was your experience?
I'm asking on behalf of a friend who is worried about what happens to his copyright in his songs when he runs them through this type of converter software. He is concerned because he used avs and when he got his converted file back it came with a title stating that the song was written by.... (and then stated another person's name that he didn't recognise). I read the EULA that's on the website and I couldn't see anything that said that by using the software the user would be agreeing to give up any of their IP rights. In any case, I would have thought that would be an unlikely business model for a legit business offering this type of software, and a bit of a weird way to run a scam... (although scammers are after all pretty weird people so you never know!...)
I am sure there must be a reasonable explanation, and it can't be that his copyright has been taken, but I can't test the software to see what happens because they don't support mac (and I think you have to pay for it anyway). Does anyone else have any experience with this (or similar) software?
Also, can anyone recommend any alternatives that are free or inexpensive (and, of course, un-dodgy!)?
Thanks!
