Hey /Tom,
Do you know where the converted files are supposed to go? When I installed
it, they were set by default to go to the Music folder, and I just left it
that way for the present to test it out. But that's in Windows Vista, that
may be different for different operating systems. But you can check on that
by simply tabbing through the buttons without even going into any menus.
Maybe it's converting and you just can't find the converted files. What
happens when you tell it to convert something? For me, it tells me what file
it is working on and the percentages every so often. If it does that for
you, then I would say that it's converting something, but you just may need
to check to see where it's putting the files it converts.

That's how I use Switch (for changing bit rate) but somehow I am just not
getting the hang of converting more than one file at a time! It seemed to
do it but, well I don't even know how to explain! Somehow it's not
converting; or maybe it is and I just don't know it! Guess I just need
clearer instructions! Even's instructions aren't bad; I guess I'm just
(as
my grandmother used to say "hard to understand!"

It works as well with NVDA including resetting for variable bit rate.

Hi Folks,
Well, on the recommendation of two people here yesterday, I went and
installed Switch. It's completely accessible with my Window Eyes 8.4;
almost
as though it was written that way, although I don't know that for sure.
It's
also simple and fast. There is a five files at a time limit on the free
version, but that is easy to work around. You can select and open many
more
than five files and then convert five at a time until you get them all.
However, for convenience, and because I think they deserve it for writing
such a simple and accessible product, I am probably going to buy it. It
says
that it will also extract audio from DVD's and video files, although I
haven't tried this yet. If that works as simply and accessibly as the
audio
conversions I've done so far, then that will make it even more worth the
price.
Thanks for putting me onto this.
Oh, by the way, Dane, VBR is not on the list of filetypes that Switch
will
convert to, so I guess I will continue with M4A.
