COMPARISON OF MP3 CONVERTERS

These are a few of the programs I have downloaded and tried.  Each has it's strengths, none of them do it all.

This is by no means a complete list, only observations of programs that I have tried out. There are many other high end programs that will do all this and more, but the learning curve is steeper, and the cost more dear. I really compiled this list for my own comparison with the intention of uninstalling programs with duplicate features.
