1.0 out of 5 stars Try before you buy, June 2, 2005

The testimonials scattered around the internet encouraged me to buy this product. After experiencing the product and having an unsatisfying interchange with their customer service, I am fairly sure that most of the testimonials are plants.

Some recommendations:

1) The product only works with ShoutCast. To see if these are the stations you would like to record, first go to the shoutcast web site.

2) Before purchasing, it is highly recommended that you download the free trial from the audioxtract web site to see if the product will work for you.

3) Do read through the FAQs on the same web site.

4) Know that you will need DSL or cable to use the product as it is advertised.

5) Also know that if you are as dis-satisfied as I am, you will be able to experience the wonderful efficiency with which Amazon.com handles returns.

3.0 out of 5 stars Songs blend together and files are truncated, February 26, 2005

The Audio Xtract program does exactly what it says it does, but there is a fundamental problem that everyone should be aware of. First, just like on commercial over-the-air radio, the music streams available usually 'blend' together such that one song fades out while the next fades in. This means that your recorded files will seldom have a clean start and beginning. Sometimes, there is even DJ banter that gets captured. The next problem is that the algorithm used to calculate when one song ends and the next starts appears to be imprecise. I've recorded songs that were off by as much as 10 seconds from where they should have started (and ended up having to combine them with adjacent files and re-split them manually). If you're looking for a good way to get radio-ized music, there is no better software than this. However, if you want clean songs with intact lead-ins and endings, you will seldom get that with this product. Sorry!

After forking over 50 for this garbage, installing and then not using for a while, I was prompted for an ID and pass code. WTF?! I did not spend my cash so I could monkey around with this, especially after tossing everything else..Ahhh, the utter nerve and greed of these companies.
