Audio Extractor Platinum
AoA Media's Audio Extractor Platinum is really an affordable all-in-one digital audio software that bundles the tools that you are probably to need the most often. It incorporates an audio extractor; a converter which manages not only popular file types such as MP3, WAV, AVI, and also WMV, but also less common forms like OGG and iPhone Ring tone; a sound recorder; a voice changer; as well as karaoke.
AoA Audio Extractor Platinum's cool user interface is different, even in the flashy world of mediaware. It is really an interactive dialogue similar to Windows Media Center, having 4 big control buttons that will call up explanations of the primary tools when you hover your cursor: Audio Converter, Audio Extractor, Sound Recording, as well as Karaoke Song Recording. The latter two apps offer you some fun features, such as the ability to change voices from female to male or grown-up to kid, and vice versa. A complete Help menu and close/minimize program buttons complete the sparse design, however the actual action occurs in each function's pop-up control dialogue. These are clearly designed making it very easy to choose source, format, and destination along with bit rate and other parameters. Of course we tried the voice-changing function in the karaoke and sound-recording utilities: it's a straightforward slider which changes your voice track's pitch, but it is extremely enjoyable and often brings about a laugh.
AoA Audio Extractor Platinum offers no audio silver bullet--it simply gathers a set of competent audio tools in one easy-to-use format, with a few fun extras which set it apart from the crowd.
