Jplay - just another scam? YES IT IS!

Amazing that a nicely featured FREE software like Winamp almost died a needless death, and THIS RIDICULOUS POS MALWARE LIVES. Reset your Office License?! Seriously? Am I the only one who sees the sick irony in this?

All my massages with questions abouth EULA violations, don't pass moderation on the official jplay forum.
Therefore, in principle, it is impossible to trust all messages on their forum.

I am the owner of the program for many years, and I don’t regret the purchase, as I purchased exactly what I wanted and with the help of it I was able to do what I planned exactly the way I wanted.

This message is not a complaint about the product, it is a complaint about the deception in the new EULA in 7 version.

Filter 22 tracks from 4bit ADPCM to 16bit PCM.

Sounds like something trivially doable with free software.

I wonder if the authors of the program can be held accountable for their violation of their own EULA.

Filter 22 tracks from 4bit ADPCM to 16bit PCM.
Incidentally, 4 bit ADPCM automatically decodes to 16 bit PCM on playback. All you would have succeeded in doing is wasting 4 times the storage space on the resulting files. Even compressing them with a lossless compression format afterward would not yield the same compression ratio as the original 4 bit ADPCM format they were in. The bits of information lost in encoding would not be recoverable by converting back to 16 bits per sample. And usually, unless you have really golden ears, it's quite hard to notice the actual loss of that conversion, since it's only audible as faint white noise, usually on the order of -60dB or lower. But again, without the original samples, it's literally impossible to recover that information.

I use JPLAY only as filter.
The plan was as follows:
there were two sources
48 000 4 bit ADPCM (internal PS2 game version resources)
22 000 8 bit PCM (internal PC game version resources)
combine them into a normal 48,000 16 bit and play back in Jplay with capture.
