FStream - 1.4.4

Horrible interface, horrible manual. I found this thing lurking on my HD and I couldn't figure out what it was. Not obvious from the program itself, the About box, or the manual. Then when I figured out what it was, I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Definitely the most unintuitive interface I have ever seen running on a Mac. I can't understand why this thing gets such high ratings. First time I've found free software that wasn't worth the asking price. It's going into my trash right away.

After having been prompted to update FStream to the recent version, I did so, but immediately on opening an .ogg livestream, I could not hear the nothing but a very loud, deafening noise of the type that turns up when there is no signal from an FM or TV transmitter. I tried FStream on another livestream in the .m3u format, and nothing but the deafening noise turned up. This happened in my Power Mac G5 with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Earlier the same day, the same version simply crashed on my old Power PC G4 with OS X 10.4 Tiger. The last working version of FStream was the 1.4.2.The noise was simply too much for my ears.
