Downloaded, installed, activated, and registered fine on Vista x32 OS. Program is very easy to use - simple, clear instructions are provided on the GUI main screen, and adding a music file and converting it were a breeze. MP3, WAV, WMA formats are supported. To be honest, there didn't seem to be much (if any) difference between the original music file and the converted file - they both sounded the same to me - so, as a freebie for today, it's okay - but I wouldn't pay $39 for a one-trick-pony program that doesn't seem to do mono-to-stereo music conversions effectively - $10 (maximum) is a much more reasonable price for such software.

3 excellent Freeware Options:

Audacity
Kristal
Wavosaur

Anything to do with sound/music is great in my book but $39 for a basic delay between left and right (I always called it fake stereo) is outrageous!

Seriously, maybe $10 (tops) and I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a freebie out there does this.

Thanks GOTD - Damian

Stereophonic sound is created in recording studios using at least two mikes multichannel equipment. From the technical point of view it's impossible to create stereo recording out of mono one. At its best it will be artificial so-called 'pseudo stereo'. So in my opinion the usefulness of this program is next to zero even if it were freeware.

It's not about being "whiny" - it's about giving feedback (although, I will admit, sometimes people do seem to whine a bit).

Just for background, I own a recording studio, and I do a lot of work engineering audio. I use ProTools, Cubase, Acid, Audition, and yes... even on occasions, Audacity. I understand the physics behind stereo and the art of recording.

Does this give an easy way to give a fuller, richer sound to basic mono tracks. Sure. I downloaded it and tested it, and it does. Will it give "stereo" effect? No. It just doesn't work that way. it raises the volume, gives and gives a bit of off-set reverb. But it's not stereo.

Still, if you have some mono tracks and all you want to do is make them a bit fuller, this will do the trick.

Not a program I will use regularly, but I can see why some would use it. It's worth the give-away-of-the-day price.

Just to clear the air.....again. I downloaded the program and processed an audio file with some inherent "multichannel" characteristics. I am absolutely pleased with the outcome. It not only added more spacial quality, but improved the dynamic range quite a bit. I do a lot of video, so it is a real coup to have a one click, no brainer application that will improve audio output so effecively and effortlessly. Thanks GOTD and Musereo. PS> I have Audacity and have used it, as well as, other audio manipulation programs for quite a few years. Like a shoe, it the application fits, wear it.
