Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

great idea and needed. definitely off to a very good start. the presentation in HTML is really nice, and although i haven't tried it, the PDA interface could be very useful also. but a number of problems and areas for improvement. first of all, does not handle very large itunes files very well. seems to have a limit in fact of around 32K songs (like the old versions of iTunes). docs are mostly lacking, and there are many unexplained prefs. (most people won't understand what SQL is supposed to do, for example, and simply how to address the server (ie http://localurl:port#) not explained (i don't think). unclear how often the library has to be updated (why not use apple events to get playlist names, and then update library on a definable schedule for searching?) the interface is not standard. (default buttons are in flat grey not blue). there should be a way to disconnect client side (lags on itunes server side freeze up safari on client side). "fancy" interface would be nice customizable.

Interesting start - Mark Burgess

If you will email me your iTunes Music Library XML file I will load it and see if I hit any limits.

Thank you,
