On the basis of rave reviews, I purchased SoundTaxi through the USA-based RegNow. I then got an email from "Ramka Ltd" saying that my license code is <blank>. Great! I asked RegNow for the license code and they replied with an email to SoundTaxi Support Team <support@soundtaxi.info>, cc me, asking them to supply my activation code and copy them (RegNow) in so that they know I've been replied to. So far, absolutely nothing. This "Ramka Ltd" appears to be a Ukraine-based operation that also appears to use the name "Shareup LLC". I'm getting the feeling that this soundtaxi.info mob, or whatever their damn name is, has gone out of business and that I've been suckered. Pretty soon, I'll be raising a non-delivery complaint with Paypal and demanding a refund from RegNow.

I purchased version 1 of this program and all worked great. I've noticed that ever since their site went down however, the activation proves useless as well. It all worked at one point but something major must've happened.

I downloaded the trial. The conversions sounded great. But something was using up 50% of my CPU. This was the case with all applications closed. Task Manager showed System to be causing all the usage. I uninstalled SoundTaxi, problem solved. Reinstalled, problem came back. Uninstalled, problem gone. Unfortunately, SoundTaxi gone for good, too.

if using for itunes files try using QTFairUse6 ver 2.5 (search on Google), it works fine for converting protected DRM...if using for any other files maybe try Tunebite...

I purchased to copy to DVDs to play on Jensen DVD player. MP3 files have to be 128bps for my Jensen. On my PC, SoundTaxi converts wma to mp3 at a rate of 45 seconds to one minute per file. Given the time, it is great to select a directory of from one to hundreds of files and let just let it work in the background. It uses 10-20% of my AMD 2.8ghz dual core's CPU cycles. IMPORTANT, it also retains the song file names and information for you. Hard to beat for under $15.00... it could be a little faster.

I purchased SoundTaxi to convert RAX files to ACC (to work on iPod), installed it, and put in the License Code--message says it's wrong. Support will not respond! Anyone esle having this problem--is there a solution?

I've used Sound Taxi to converter thousands of files without problems. Sadly I was forced to reinstall Sound Taxi and now I am stuck with the trial version, even after entering the registration and activation code. The problem is the activation code comes back as wrong. Tech support is useless with this matter. They won't even respond. Does anyone know of another program that will do what Sound Taxi does?

Works if the program works. You use it one time, close it, and the next time it says "system corrupted" and to reinstall. You have to do this everytime you use it, reload license code, etc., etc. Not worth it, and of course there's absolutely no customer service. Don't waste your money.

The sound quality on coverted files is pretty bad. The trial version worked fine and I made the purchase for the full program. While the batch conversion was easy the output files are terrible. Approximately 95% of the files I converted have skips in them (they just cut out for about 1 second) at points in the song. My requests for support have gone unanswered. Do not waste your money.

I have ver 2.5.3 running on new install of XP SP2 with all patches; 2GHz A64, 1GB RAM. Cannot complain much, as it works as promised. Depending on the 'Troubleshoot' (really performance optimization) option can be either really fast, or slow as hell (actually processing music files in real time 1:1) Output files are clean and undistinguishable from originals (when doing conversion to wav, as I prefer to do my own encoding to MP3)

I have the program running on a core 2 duo system I built (Vista). No problems at all. Folks who are having difficulty may be having conflicts with other software. Its also possible that it is just a very cpu intensive program.

does anyone no what the code is to get the WHOLE song

As soon as i installed it with Zonealarm running i had major lag (99 System process in task manager) but if you uninstall both programs then re-install ST it works a treat!. No problems now :) Great piece of kit!

This problem has been identified. My firewall Outpost Pro from Agnitum will not allow SoundTaxi to startup. I had to remove Outpost Pro completely from the system, and use Windows Firewall instead. I will work with Agnitum to correct the flaw.

Tried to run soundtaxi on three systems all running Window XP Pro Sp2. I open Windows Task Manager > start soundtaxi > soundtaxi shows up briefly as a process, then disappears again. Never shows up as an application. Tried to run in safe mode, disabled firewalls. No errors in system events. SoundTaxi simply suggests to download the latest program version. Any suggestions? Peter
