Download/HomepageThis neatly-presented, easy to use software will take a track from an
audio CD, and convert it to a RealAudio file. Unlike most products of the genre, there is
no discernible loss of quality or tone. It is simple to "stream" a selection of
your favourite tracks from your audio CD collection, and create your own personal
playlist.
Installing is quick and slick, and operation is completely intuitive. The Help file looks
good, but to be honest I only looked - I did not actually need to use it. A simple tabbed
interface which looks attractive and uses conventional "tape player" buttons
make everything obvious.
I have a five CD pack of "seventies greatest hits",half of which are not hits at
all. Normally I have to set the CD player software to play only those tracks I like, and
keep swapping CDs. If I need to put a CD in the drive for other reasons, such as a clip
art collection or running software, I cannot have music. With CD Streamer I was able to
create a private playlist incredibly quickly, which I can then enjoy even if the CD is
busy.
A very strong feature is the good-tempered and undemanding programming - somebody wrote
this software really expertly. I am playing my new list as I type this, and I also
collected my email and surfed over to the SuperPlanet site to check on something. The
playback never faltered or slowed down at all, it continued to croon "A Perfect
Day" for me and Lou Read did not sound a semi-quaver off pitch!
CD Streamer will also stream WAV files, and offers several levels of compression to help
manage a music collection. The resulting real Audio files are much smaller than MPEG-3 yet
have a very high quality. CD Streamer is a very well designed and effective sound utility
I would recommend to anyone -especially any else who bought the five-CD collection of
seventies hits.
The product is 30 day shareware. You can buy CD Streamer by encrypted email, secure web
site, phone fax or regular email, using any major credit card.
