If you're just trying to convert files, converter lite freeware is the best thing I've ever found. Basically converts anything to anything. unbelievable that it's free actually. On another note though, I had Cakewalk Audio Creator 1.5 and loved it for all my Mp3 needs. Especially the gain feature that actually raised the volume of Mp3 files, not just equalized them or said it raised the level like the 20 or so other programs I've tried. Audacity freeware almost did what I wanted, but fell short of Pyro. Long story short, my laptop crapped the bed and I lost Pyro. I have the numbers, but no longer have the disc. I ended up buying a cheap Audio Technica turntable that came with Pyro Audio Creator LE. I installed it and although it had an automatic serial number embedded, I needed to log in to Cakewalk to get the registration number by e-mail. Anyone here who has tried that knows the catch 22. It won't recognize your username/e-mail at log in and wants you to create a new account. Then tells you that Cakewalk is not allowing new accounts at this time. Vicious cycle starts. I finally got a hold of someone for Cakewalk customer support (support@cakewalk.com) and with a couple e-mails got the registration code from them that actually works. I would still like to get back my old version of Pyro Audio Creator 1.5 and was wondering if anyone here has it or knows how to download a free version. Searching the net just leads to bogus sites that don't have anything to download. Hope I was able to help.
