SoundTaxi 3.6.5 Online Manual

SoundTaxi is a powerful piece of software to convert almost any audio and video files, both protected and non-protected, to commonly used formats such as MP3, AAC, WAV audio, MPEG4, DivX video. SoundTaxi unprotects and converts songs and videos for use with any audio and video playing devices: iPod, iPhone, Zune, any portable HDD and Flash MP3, MP4 players (Sony, iriver, SanDisk, Creative, Cowon, Samsung, Philips and many others), home DVD players, CD players, car audio and video, mobile phones etc.

 

Before you start to use the program, we remind that SoundTaxi frees only the music and video you've purchased. So the main requirement is that you must be able to play your original files in Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player or Real Player on your PC (depending on the file format you’re converting). As input files SoundTaxi supports practically any audio and video formats which can be played in Windows Media Player, QuickTime Player and Real Player.

 

If your original audio and video files contain information about artist name, album name, song name, genre, year – this information will be recorded in the converted files.

 

The trial (unregistered) version of SoundTaxi has a 30 seconds limitation. It means that without SoundTaxi activation your output audio files will be limited to 30 seconds duration and video files will be limited to 3 minutes. To convert your songs and videos completely, SoundTaxi must be activated with the license code (see “Activation” for more details).

 

There are 3 SoundTaxi editions:
