Jax ReviewNew versions works with Leopard! - Version: 1.0.3, 3/7/2008 04:13PM PST

Jax is finally fixed and working! I got it downloading album art and lyrics to my iTunes library and iPod Touch. Was up all night loading album covers. The new version seems very stable. Haven't played with the video feature yet. I have been using iterations of this product for years, all the way back to when it it was called Pod2Go, I'm happy to be using it again. Some of the plug-ins aren't compatible with the iPhone or iPod Touch (weather, news and other RSS feeds), the company told me that they are working with the new SDK and will have updates. Not a big deal, as most of this info can be viewed on the iPhone with Safari.

Jax CommentaryiTunes Was Working Too Well For You - Version: 1.0.2, 10/31/2007 10:13PM PST

I'm going to guess that the term "get more out of iTunes" here refers either to a totally sarcastic bit of marketing wit, or is literally meant to say "get everything you rely on or want the hell out of iTunes, 'cause once this baby's installed, you're never gonna see iTunes work for more than fifteen seconds at a time."

Program sucks, and I wish just Life2Go was back, because THAT software worked fine for my iPod info needs. Jax, by contrast, bit so bad the first couple of hours I had it installed, that I uninstalled it.

In fact, here's some hilarity for you: while I was trying to uninstall Jax, it popped up and said "You must shut down iTunes to uninstall" and iTunes just crashed before I could even get to it to shut it off.

I guess that's the real 'customer service' design Jax offers. Don't worry about shutting off iTunes--we'll do it for you. And that's about all this software does.

Back to the programming board, fellas. This one's not even a beta-worthy release yet, much less anything anyone should be asked to pay money for.
