6 month 'trial' ain't no 'giveaway'.....it's a 'trial' pure and simple. Pass.

In response to [ JohnH ], correct, vendors sometimes limit the duration of their offering, thereby declining to actually give away the "product", but instead giving away "access" to the product for a limited time.

"Giveaway" means something different to each new generation of marketers.

One wonders in return if we can charge the vendor for feedback after the expiration of the trial period, instead of giving away our feedback, as we otherwise so willingly do here at GOTD.

What do you think, folks, should GOTD institute a pay-for feedback after the trial period, where we get a prorated portion of advertising revenue income form the webpage we contribute to IF the vendor on that webpage no longer is offering what is on the webpage free?

How about a GOTD Partner Program ( like on Quora - see https ://www. patchesoft. com/quora-partner-program )

Got this error message when opening DRmare Audio Converter 2.3.0 for Windows:
__________

CoreAnimationTestWindow:iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found

The procedure entry point
?create@Thread@WTF@@SA?AV?$RefPrt@VThread@WTF@@@
2@PEBD$$QEAV?$Function@A6AXXZ@Z could not be
located in the dynamic link library WTF.dll.
__________

I kid you not.

[ WTF.dll ]

In [ C:\Program Files\iTunes ]

WTF.dll v7605.1033.1002.2 © 2018 Apple Inc

Programmers have a sense of humor, eh what?

It's an Apple iTunes message that I now see pops up when I open iTunes all on it's own.

And that tells me that this software depends on and or interacts with iTunes.

Apple seems averse to directly offering iTunes for Windows anymore, instead directing us to Microsoft store.

So this software for Windows is crippled multiple ways by depending in Apple iTunes that no longer directly supports Windows.

Cool.

Of course there are workarounds ... at Apple, scroll down to

"Looking for other versions? macOS Windows"

... and click on "Windows", duh, and the next webpage offers an Apple direct link:

https ://www. apple. com/itunes/download/win64

... even though the webpage expects you to have already clicked on the first offered link above to go to the Microsoft store.

Now I will download and reinstall iTunes to see if I can eliminate the error.

Regardless, DRmare Audio Converter 2.3.0 for Windows looks like ONLY DRM removal-and-save a new file format.

This does NOT look like a general purpose audio converter for other input files, such as files that do not have DRM but are in other formats we might like to convert.

So DRmare Audio Converter 2.3.0 for Windows is a [ DRM-removal-and-save-as ] program.

NOT an [ audio file converter ] program.

Oh well.

One trick ponl then.

I personally never use DRM material, but if I find someone who does, perhaps I can try this on their stuff to see if it removes DRM, and then I can give feedback.

Now my assignment is to find someone with DRM material in the next 6 months, copy it to my computer, deDRM-and-save-as, and report.

colour choices make it unusable -- light grey on white--get realistic--black on white or yellow on black
