This developer is definitively the worst of the scores I have had dealings with over the years. Everything that has been said below is true. Since upgrading to Leopard the plug-in refuses to accept my existing paid-for registration number. I have contacted the developer several times, through their website and once by direct email to the gent mentioned in an earlier post. Every time I got an immediate message in the browser saying the message had been received and they would be in touch. Shortly after that an email would arrive confirming this. Then, a few days later a bounceback message arrives from some other server saying they had been unable to deliver the message to the right people. From SRS themselves, zilch, not a peep. The only way round this has been to recover the .plist from a backup of my Tiger set-up and copy this over every time the supposed demo period ran out. This would at least give me a new demo period. However, now I'm getting the regeneration bug that means makes quitting iTunes, and hence shutting down my Mac, impossible. Disaster.

A developer who behaves like this, with a total lack of concern for users, needs simply to be boycotted. No-one should buy from them. The pity is that, when it works, the product is really good, matching the hype on their website - at least in my experience, though not that of some, as can be seen below. Until they can begin to behave decently, however, it’s off my machine. Not that they’ll care - they already have my money.

This sounds like a legitimate reason to get yourself a copy through more shady channels. You paid for it so you're on the safe side of legality.

But according to their web site, the comedian Sinbad is crazy about iWow!

And a noted "celebrity" blogger Scott Bounre says "“…all I can say is WOW! Go download it WOW (I mean NOW!)"

So any problem you're experiencing must be due to a pronounced lack of celebrity on your part. ;-)
