  22. Completely useless, right overtop of the entire mp3 you keep hearing “AVS media data”. Definitely NOT free software.

  24. I tried to use it but after i hit the “convert” button, I got a “Riskware” alert from my virus protection software. The alert read -> “RootShell – Cyber criminals frequently use this type of software to gain remote shell access to the victim’s system. Root shells bind standard input/output streams to sockets, allowing access to the system.”
    Why would an encoder need to rootshell level access?

  25. You need to fix this. I converted an AMR file to an MP3 file and the program told me the conversation failed. Yet it worked.

  26. It didn’t work for me which I find quite disappointing because I really want to edit this beautiful song that I’ve been playing now and then on my phone. Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to edit it the old fashioned way- write the music out and actually play it and record the whole thing.
    Or maybe you could suggest why it didn’t convert and save me the trouble?

  29. Hey, i tried this, but it says that it cannot open my file, and its corrupted. But i tried uploading it a few more times, no change. Why?
    (i’m using the latest ver of mobile media converter, using windows vista, and my file format currently is .amr.)
