All-round converter for almost any media type

Media Buddy is a slick, multi-format media converter that will let you use all your media on almost any device you like.

As media converters go, Media Buddy wins on conversion ease and formats, but doesn't have the extra features that might make it worth paying for. The conversion formats are all really easy to access and are divided into categories like popular audio and gaming consoles so you can find what you need more easily. Add the files to be converted, pick the output format and tweak the quality on the slider. It couldn't be easier.

Media Buddy deals easily with batch conversions, which is great, but a batch conversion feature without an auto-shutdown option is missing some of the point. Add that to the fact that the only thing you can tweak in Media Buddy is the individual conversion profiles, and it feels a little inflexible, from a non-conversion point of view.

Despite these problems, Media Buddy's a nice program to use and will ensure that you get the most out of your media files. It's not sensational but at the same time is a much better bet than the very many very mediocre converters out there.

Good, but not great, Media Buddy is a very acceptable multi-format media converter.

Converts files to any format + Great Tech Support. Very easy to use thanks to a clear interface that is divided by device profiles. If you need your files to be converted to iPod format you just choose iPod device profile and then go ahead with conversions. I also like that Media Buddy supports a multitude of different formats, so be sure that with this app you'll have your output converted to the format you require. In addition I'd like to praise the fantastic speed of conversions in Media Buddy thanks to batch mode. About the tech support: I got in touch with them via e-mail only once when I needed to re-activate my Media Buddy on formatted PC, and surprisingly I received their reply within an hour after I sent my query! The support representative Natalie provided me with new license code for re-activation and this was done for free, no additional dues I had to pay. So no complaints about Media Buddy tech support whatsoever - the assistance is at high level, thank you so much! Pros: Very reliable softwareConverts files to a variety of formats supported by many different portable devicesThe quality of output is almost the same as the originalConversions are very fast, especially in batch modeTech support is high quality, replies are quick and helpful Cons: no problems/bugs/complaints so far

Excellent converter, it works fast! Support does replies but not so prompt. Works fast, creates profiles for output device formats. Tech support replied to my query about new license code the next day and kindly provided me with the new licence code to re-activate my purchased version (I had to reformat my PC and thus lost the initially activated app) for free. I didn't have to pay anything. Great program! Pros: Fast conversionsDifferent profiles for the outputTech support replies within 24 hoursGreat price/value! Cons: Need to contact tech support for new license each time you upgrade your pc. Though the good thing the new license is provided for FREE for those who have full version of Media Buddy

Total lack of tech support. Stay away.. The program is great and works as advertised. **HOWEVER** It doesn't appear that anyone looks at their tech support email account.I purchased and installed the software in January. It worked great and did exactly what i needed it to do. Unfortunately, a month ago the system it was installed on died. I replaced the system with a new one, and tried to install and activate Media Buddy on it. Media Buddy's registration system detected that the software had already been activated on a system and would not allow be to activate it on the new computer.For the past three weeks, I've been attempting to contact tech support to come up with a solution. So far, I haven't heard a word from them.It doesn't seem that they support the software they sell.pc Pros: Great program when it runs. No hope of support if it doesn't. Cons: Total lack of tech support available. it seems that no one ever replies to emails requesting support.
