Existing users, 
The software is taking an eternity to download, and I suspect that it will never complete, so I decided to pose a question here in case I never get a chance to test it.
Does this software use binaural beats? I created by own 4Hz, 8Hz, and 12Hz files for all of the notes in a fairly low scale, using the free ToneGen.app and Apple Garage Band, and those five-minute files relax me so deeply that I'm almost oblivious to my surroundings and almost have to make a conscious effort to breathe (for 4Hz difference), or just feel really peaceful (for 8Hz difference), or really open up my imagination with creativity or recall enjoyable past memories (for 12Hz difference). Obviously, those frequencies correspond to theta, low alpha, and high alpha brain waves.
Anyway, I'm just wondering whether this software does something similar, because I wouldn't have to pay money for it if I've already created those files and benefit so easily and fully from them.

Binaural beats, or something different? - edwardlaing
HiI'm sorry I wasn't able to answer your question earlier - I should really be checking VT every day but we've been working very hard to bring out the next version of the pzizz software! My apologies..
You're right in saying that pzizz does use Binaural beats, but it also does a lot more than just that!
We have combined NLP, especially-composed music and sound effects with the binaural beats - and when used together they really do work terribly effectively as is borne out by the previous testimonials and those on our website.
http://www.pzizz.com/reviews.asp
We also plan to bring out different modules that will work in conjunction with the pzizz software. The version of the software that costs $39.95 includes the "energizer" module.
Additional modules, such as the "sleep" module we've produced, should cost just $19.95.
When you compare the cost of pzizz with that of relaxation tapes etc. we believe that it's very reasonable as you are able to choose the length of nap, and the software can create more than 100 billion combinations of soundtrack.
I hope this helps answer your question, but do let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
With all best wishes

Binaural beats, or something different? - Xiaopangzi
Okay, the download did finally complete, and I'm pretty sure that this does use binaural beats. I've never liked white or pink noise or even the sounds of nature mix with binaural beat frequencies, but this application really does have some good background sounds, and the speaker has an excellent, soothing voice.Still, I would not pay $40 for it when I already have the pure, undiluted binaural beat files that I generated for free by myself, which really allow me to relax or daydream or meditate or sleep in total peace (depending on the frequency) without any other distracting sounds.
It would be so easy to create an app that generates only the pure tones in with a dial to change the frequency difference between each earphone or even choose a specific note on a specific octave, or even a range to cycle through. If 6,000 were willing to pay me $10 each, I'd be a happy man, but I'm not a programmer.
