CoverScout 2.3.4 (Mac OS X)

Couldn't even try it out because of iTunes library location  

My iTunes library is not located in the default location in my ~/music/ folder, it's deliberately placed off the root of my drive, as it has been for years. I wanted to try out CoverScout, but was disappointed to find that when I opened it, all I could do was click a Quit button. Apparently because my iTunes library is not in the default location, CoverScout can't find it, and doesn't give me a browse option. I imagine this probably isn't going to be an issue for most people, but it's too bad the program doesn't let me locate the library, since it seems like it'd be a nice app, and as it is, I can't run it -- maybe this will be added in a future version.

IP Reporter 2.0.1 (Mac OS 9, Mac OS X)

Great app when it works  

This program has been very helpful for me -- I live thousands of miles away from my parents but they turn to me for computer help, which can be tough to give with the distance. So I set up VNC on their computer and installed IP Reporter to notify me of their external (outside their router) IP address. I also installed a copy on a G4 acting as a server so I can use it as a web & FTP server. Program worked well on both computers for a little while then suddenly stopped aquiring and reporting the external IP on both machines. Turned out that the preference file was "forgetting" the settings. I did some research and found others with the same problem, but no solution posted anywhere. My solution: set IP Reporter preferences the way you want, quit, and find the preferences file in ~/library/preferences/, get info on it, and lock the file. Since I did this, the program has been working flawlessly on both machines. Aside from this one issue, however, it is a great program and I've found it very useful. [alert admin]
