ImTOO Audio Encoder Reviewer's Comments

ImToo Audio Encoder is a respectable program that just didn’t have enough options to make it to the top three. However, it’s still a worthwhile audio converter. ImTOO has great functionality and good compatibility, making it useful for the casual user or someone who needs to convert their whole music library. 

At first glance, ImTOO looks poorly designed and complicated, but don’t let the design fool you. The program is actually easy to use. If you don’t like the look, ImTOO does come with an alternate skin; just don’t count on it being much more appealing.

Looks aside, ImTOO is a competent audio converter that only missed our top three because of limited compatibility and no CD ripping capabilities.

Features Set:  

ImTOO allows you to do single or multiple conversions and configure the bit rate, sampling rate and channels for each music file. We were pleasantly surprised that ImTOO can extract audio from video files, though we wish that it could take audio from CDs too. ImTOO also works with ID3 audio tags.

Input/Output:  

ImTOO can convert 14 different types of audio files, including the staples like MP3, WMA and WAV. We were also happy to see that ImTOO can convert AAC files, which is the file format common on Apple iPods. ImTOO can’t handle songs that are DRM protected though.

Ease of Use:  

ImTOO has a simple interface that is common to most of the players. You can queue songs for conversion and alter the settings for file output by selecting the settings button.

Help/Support:  

ImTOO Software Studio has email support, FAQs and tutorials for its Audio Encoder.

Summary:  

ImTOO Audio Encoder is a great product at a good price, but it’s lack of CD ripper and  DRM decrypter leave ImTOO lagging just behind the pack.
