Music Man 2.7 (Mac OS X)

converts flac files to mp3  

I use Music Man to convert flac, wav and ogg files to mp3. I select CONVERT in the menu because I want to convert. The next window says "Drag and drop any item from the Finder, that you want to convert, into this area". It's obvious what I have to do so I drag and drop files and folders into the appropriate big box. I select the format and the destination. I go do something else and after a short time, the files are converted. I edit the information to add the artist and album. I do not understand why some people insist the software is not intuitive. There is no need to be intuitive. There is a menu and also one-sentence instructions on screen. I am not a rocket science but i am also not an idiot. I just follow the instructions. This is the best software to convert flac, ogg and other formats. If there is something better, I have not found it and I used almost everything on the market. [alert admin]

Media Snap 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Version 1.1 works like a CHARM ++++++++  

Ask and you shall receive. I sent a simple bug report to the developer last night and in less than 24 hours he fixed the bug as he promised. Version 1.1 is available from the developer's web site. Version 1.1 has a new feature that allows the option of playing the movie fullscreen on YouTube. I can now download movies to the desktop that play in QT. I'm a dumb enduser. If I can do it, anyone can do it. This product is intuitive to use, amazingly fast and infinitely more convenient than the online service I was previously using. I'm using an old MacBook Intel Core Duo, 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM, Leopard 10.5.2 [alert admin]

Media Snap 1.0 (Mac OS X)

So Simple  

It took me less than a minute to figure out the software: Search, Download, Select Format, Send to Desktop, Play. It is so simple that some people find it challenging. I had a problem playing movies so I wrote the programmer and this is his response: "Thanks for reporting. I will fix this today. Please check the Media Snap website for an update within the next 24 hrs." [alert admin]

CheckUp 1.0 (Mac OS X)

it works  

I tried the trial version. It connected after I restarted the application. It works. It looks pretty. It presents data in a readable format. It does the same tasks as Onyx, Maintenance, Yasu, Leopard Cache Cleaner, MacJanitor and most other system utilities. It monitors processes the same as iStat Nano, Temperature Monitor and Hardware Monitor. It has some of the functions of Drive Genius. If it does more than the utilities I currently use, I am not aware of it and probably do not use the function. It crashed when I tried to cancel a lookup of hidden files but it connected again after restarting the application twice. I have no idea what the maintenance scripts repaired but they were fast. It's a tidy all-in-one package. It's intuitive and friendly to use. It's like System Utilities for Dummies. Was I supposed to read a manual?

Application Wizard 2.3 (Mac OS X)

stable, reliable, functional, efficient, effective, powerful  

I bought this software shortly after buying my new Mac over a year ago because I need a faster method to manage OS X. I don't know how anyone can navigate OS X efficiently without Application Wizard. [alert admin]

SoundConverter 20080102 (Mac OS X)

there is a pattern  

Every version of this product has been reviewed and it has been panned almost exclusively regardless of the version. Despite numerous warning on file, unsuspecting users continue to purchase this product with zero positive results. When the negative reports mount, there is a sudden and suspicious flurry of unspecified positive reports that are inevitably followed by more complaints. This product does not function as advertised and buyers have many options to choose from. [alert admin]

SoundConverter 20060414 (Mac OS X)

still does not work  

I tried to convert flac to mp3 and it did not work. The original did not work. The upgrade does not work. I suspect this product only works for shills. [alert admin]

TechTool Pro 4.0.5 (Mac OS X)

it works fine  

Installed latest update on an iMac DV SE, G3, 400 Mhz, 512 MB RAM, OS 10.4.2. No problems with download and installation. Tried Directory Maintenance, Volume Structures, Volume Optimization, File Structures, etc. and all the hardware tests. No problems with any of the tests. If anything is different, Volume Optimization seems faster. Don't know why others are having problems. I've been using Tech Tool Pro since it was invented. I also use Disk Warrior but it seems redundant now. [alert admin]

So Simple  

It's simpler to learn the software by searching a topic. 1. Clik on RESULTS in the menu bar. 2. Enter a topic to Search, hit return key to see results.

Click on DOWNLOADS in menu bar to see the download progress bar for each file. 5. Look at the number in brackets next to DOWNLOADS (n).…

Installs version 9.0.1  

Read the onscreen installer notes when you install ver. 9.0.2. It says "Note: Stuffit Expander 9.0.2 differs from Stuffit Expander 9.0.1 only in certain Stuffit Engine components. The Stuffit Expander application will remain at version 9.0.1."
