[78-L] Free mp3 recorder and Converter

[Al Haug]

I think that might have been my comment.  I was rather pissed, as I recall,
because there were a several hoops to jump through for this supposedly free
software, and by the time I'd done all that it really was not free. Maybe
some one-time tryout, then pay or something like that,
Nobody likes being lead on. I don't really think anyone should get shot over
something like this (or any other time) but as I said at the time I was
quite pissed off. It was a while back. Still, something that is promoted as
free should be free.

I looked at the cnet download page for this, and a few comments like the
following were there:-

" I don't mind paying for software. But liars like this, who claim something
is
free, try to install a bunch of JUNK on your computer along with it, and
then
do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but pop up a bunch of dialogues asking you to pay for
the
software SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT BACK AND SHOT. Be honest. Don't insult your
users.
If you wanna get paid, that's fine. But don't LIE and call your product free
if
it Ain't."

So Steve... is it Pay software or really free?
Have you paid them to remove the nag screens asking you to pay them?
