Hmmm seems a pretty decent MP3 manager which does what it claims pretty well...

But strangely enough here it was (or it is still?) FREEWARE a few weeks ago:

30 Bucks?? Well....it's undoubtely a reasonable price especially for those folks who do not know that there FREEWARE ALTERNATIVES out there which do more or less the same things for FREE....LOL!

By default it will install to C:\ drive root instead of Program Files(x86) folder, which is very bad form. However, it is easy to fix using their Browse button, and otherwise it seems OK, so I'd only take off half a point for installing to the wrong place. Just watch what you're doing instead of clicking blindly through installations and you too can catch sloppy coding like this.

A Word Of Warning:

Though this appears to be intended as a "portable" application, it most certainly is not. In fact, I would recommend avoiding this application entirely. MP3toolkit has a very intrusive registry footprint, and will install its own version of several OCX & DLL files without checking if a newer version is already installed - thus possibly breaking other applications. The uninstall does appear to properly reverse the registry changes (about 90% sure, because of the large quantity), but it will only do so if the program is immediately uninstalled - as time passes & other apps are installed, some changes cannot be reversed.

MP3toolkit is an attempt to put a front end on several individually developed modules built on freeware / open source libraries & tools. As a result, settings do not get passed between modules, quality control varies widely, and there is an uneveness to the user interface. An additional result is that there are two LAME encoders, part of the BASS library & Monoton_DS (very intrusive install) being used when one set of libraries would be sufficent and the proper development approach. Using the original freeware tools won't give you a nice GUI and requires more manual intervention, but it will generally give you more control and thus better audio results.

A rather scary example of what not to do in software development... Unfortunately appropriate as Halloween is coming up...

Hi wonderboy,

we use special wrapper to protect installation file. It adds several MB to original setup.exe.

Dear Giovanni,

I am the author of Little Bear's World Of Freebies. Thank you for referencing my blog in your post.

I am very skeptical of this Giveaway this morning as the program was previously FREEWARE. And now its a paid version which leads me to believe the versions they release as FREEWARE are not all that good, they rely on our feedback and then change it to a paid version.

It was free in May when the developer sent me the news letter, even was listed on Freeware Files as 100% Clean.

I don't like this business practice one bit.
