This company (Online Media Technologies Ltd / AVS4YOU) is SHADY fraudulent!!! They changed my music metadata to advertise their services. SNEAKY they added the following to each of my hundreds of songs.
THEIR website and
Encoded by: Online Media Technologies
My inquiry:
I noticed within hundreds of my songs that have not gone through any AVS program that you have added YOUR website and Encoded by: Online Media Technologies to those song's metadata without my permission. WHY?
Company response #1
Thank you for contacting us.
These tags are used to promote AVS4YOU programs. Software and harware mediaplayers don't show this information.
While working on the file you can change them manually in the Tag Info section. Please note that if the fields U R L and Encoded by are empty, information about AVS will be added. If the fields contain any information, the program won't rewrite them.
Best regards
My response:
I do not want you to nor did I ever give you permission to change my metatag information in my song Library I want to know how to stop this and prevent you from doing it again in the future
Company response #2
Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, you can't change this setting. A possible solution is either to fill the fields with any other information or to delete the tags after conversion. This information wouldn't disturb you as it is not shown in the mediaplayers.

The gave me the entire suite of software back in July of 2013. From what I remember, they may have been just starting out as a company and they were giving the software away as most startups do to get the word out about their new company. Maybe a week or so ago, I was editing a video project using their video editor that I've used regularly since 2013 and when I finished editing and proceeded to rendering the project, I get an message saying, "Your subscription has expired.", "The program works in the non-activated mode.", "Now you can prolong or upgrade you subscription with a discount."!
So now I have to pay for it?! I guess this is how they ultimately get your money! By letting you use it for free for over 5 years, then they hit you with a lie that your subscription is over?! What subscription?! You have to have a subscription in the first place in order for it to expire don't you?!
I let them know what I think about it on a post on their Facebook Page and, of course, they didn't post it! Then they send me a reply message pawning me off to their "support" and I still haven't heard back from them for almost a week!
All I have to say is buyer beware! If this is how they do business, you deserve what you get if you still buy from them after reading this and other reports I've seen about them on this site!
