Pros:
• The support team quickly responds to your questions and is friendly when doing so.
• You can convert a large number of tunes in one sitting.

Cons:
• You need to be sent a new license key if you ever change or reinstall your computer. Practically nobody does this ancient method anymore.
• The fact that you only get 1:1 time transfer on a Mac, but are able to get as fast as 16X on a Windows machine just demonstrates lazy inattention to a brand of computer that comes from a 2 TRILLION dollar company.
• It adds a virtual audio driver that completely disables all of your other audio, so if you want to listen to anything on your computer while it's doing it's "real time" conversion, then you're out of luck.

The thing that's most frustrating about the "cons" above is that all of them don't exist on another converter that I use: it doesn't make you ask for a new key whenever you make computer changes; it converts extremely quickly (over 10X) on a Mac; and you don't have any new driver additions that hijack your audio, so I know that it can be done. Maybe they need to dissect some TunePat software to find out what they're doing correctly. The only thing that TunePat does poorly is that it hangs if you have too many tunes to convert from one release - usually over 50 or so tunes. For TuneFab, I tried one release that had 193 tunes and, so far, (because it's taken over 14 hours time), it has converted 175 of them (BTW, even with so many tunes from one release, it's possible to just divide it up into, say, 4 batches and it would STILL take less time than TuneFab).

Anyway, I wish them luck, but they really do need to check out some other converters that are out there and dig deeper into how they are able to get around these ridiculous aspects of their own software.

I am so happy that I came across this software! The sound quality I am able to get from music tracks I download sound phenomenal! The software does exactly what I intended it to do when I purchased it.

On top of the high expectations that I expected from this software, their customer service is amazing! I reached out to them twice in a 3 month period due to some issues I have having with my own laptop, and they responded within 24 hours to help assist me resolve my issue!

Thank you again TuneFab for being awesome!

I purchased this product a few days ago, would not convert any more than 3 songs before freezing I contacted there support still waiting on a reply as to how to fix this problem. I am extremely disappointed with this product have emailed them for a refund still waiting on a reply to my request for the refund. I would advise anyone not to waste there money on this program unless you have weeks and can baby sit this product to convert music.

I downloaded the M4V converter looking to convert my purchased movies from iTunes to mp4 so I could put them on my android phone. I first used the trial version to make sure it worked as I tried 3 other products before this that all claimed they could perform the conversion but they couldn't. Finally, I tried TuneFab's product and was able to get the audio to convert and not the video. This is the farthest progress I made with any of the conversion programs so far so I contacted their support staff. After 10 emails back and forth, they got me up and running and stuck with me through a 2.5-week ordeal and I was finally able to convert my movies from m4v to mp4. I instantly purchased the M4V Converter because the program works well and the support staff were super helpful and stuck with me through the end to make sure I was able to do what I wanted.

The software works really well: I started a subscription to Spotify thanks to this program, and from now on, I'm pretty sure I will never stop the subscription.

I add new music to my library every week, and retrieve them offline, in case of...

This programs is a safeguard: I subscribed to Spotify because now I can trust I will never lose my songs if Spotify goes bankrupt: I have a backup laying around.

I had to reinstall Windows and the licence was not working anymore (already activated): I contacted the support and they gave me a new licence very quickly. Wonderful.

The free version seemed to run through multiple songs in one go just fine, so I thought okay cool i'll get the paid version I've seen enough. Boy was I wrong. They sucker you in and then give you a borderline unusable product. I have hundreds of songs to convert, and if I have to sit here and refresh the library after each song it will take forever. If I wanted to do this slowly and manually, I could have just recorded the songs by hand myself with Audacity for free. The most I've gotten is 4 songs in one go without any additional input from the Itunes converter. Most times, it converts one song and then randomly hangs up. Or it will give "Track Deleted" or "Playback Err" and stop the whole thing. I'd save your money and look elsewhere, I know I regret my purchase already.

Awful piece of software as It converts the book in realtime i. E. a 12 hour audio book will take 12 hours to convert. During which time it takes over your itunes.

Basically it creates an output device called audiojingle plays the track in itunes and routes the output to this 'device'. Took me 15 minutes with no sound on my Imac after using Tunefab to work out what it had done and switch my audio output back to the speakers.

Also for no obvious reason it fails to convert about 30% of my audiobooks.
Also when you start it up on my imac it takes about 10 mins to load the itunes library with no warning that this is what it is doing, so I assumed it had hung and did a force quit after 5 minutes of no response.

I really struggle to express how frustrated I feel this heap of crap. Avoid like the plague

TunFab for Windows and Mac

I tested the software on both a fairly fast Windows and Mac.

Pros:
1) Works well does what it says converts to ACC and M4A files
2) Gives very good output file name options
3) Gives very good output quality options
4) Fast

Cons:
1) Takes over iTunes so that you cannot listen to music while it converts (The way that all music converters work. Which means it cannot convert multiple files at one time.)
2) Takes over 10 minutes to load a simple iTunes library on both Mac and Windows. (Deal breaker for me. Once it is running it converts fine)
3) Cannot hide iCloud files nor already converted files.

Compare to Sidify Apple Music Converter
1) Sidify opens the iTunes library immediately.
2) Sidify seems to convert faster.
3) Fabtunes has better output file naming convention.
4) Both require exclusive access to the iTunes library.
5) Both give you a free trail.
6) Create a iTunes Smart Playlist using the iCloud status and chose Apple Music as the status then if you want you can chose Purchase and set to false then you chose Date Added as within the last day. All this will create a Playlist that will let you have control on what is displayed in the programs.

Last comment before you buy a program see if it offers a free trial. Even if the trail only converts 3 minutes of the track it is worth the time and effort. I ultimately chose to purchase Sidify and resurrect an old Windows 10 machine that I recently retire and connect it to my iTunes library. So that my Mac the computer where my main library is own and where I play most of my music from can be used for that purpose.

I hope this review helps.
