I was so amazed by OSS 3D v.1 that I could not go back and listen to my music anymore without it.
I was really happy with the way it was as an iTunes plug-in - the only slight turn-off was it's high CPU usage - but now it's just useless.
I can understand the benefits of evolving into a system-wide solution - although personally I don't need it that way - but the problem is it is just not functioning properly. I can hear a difference between the settings, as opposed to the problematic initial release, but it just doesn't sound as good or that different as it used to. The worst thing though is that the sliders aren't changing position when I change presets! the sound slightly changes, but the sliders remain in place; Moreover, when trying to change them manually, they will move to their new position but won't move again when trying to change presets.

What a bummer. I agree with a previous user who said it just looks rushed and as if it was published prematurely.

I hope it won't be too long until we see a functional and stable version as it used to be.
