PodWorks 2.9.3 (Mac OS X)

iPhone 3.0 software update coming  

if you're a PodWorks user and saw it stop working when you updated your iPhone or iPod Touch to the 3.0 software, never fear...the developer has a compatible version in beta that will be released shortly. [alert admin]

AudialHub 1.0 (Mac OS X)

a good solid 1.0 product  

as a VisualHub user, i was happy to see that AudialHub has the same clean interface and stability as its video-based sibling. worked like a champ. the discount for VisualHub users is a nice gesture too! liked it. bought it. it's the batch converter i've been waiting for. if this application receives the same attention to updates and improvements as the other Techspansion products, it's going to come out at the top of the shareware audio converter category.

CosmoPod 2.4 (Mac OS X)

awesome little app.  

i have a wealth of video conversion tools on my Mac, but CosmoPod is the one i use most often as an easy way to grab and convert web video if it's going straight into iTunes. minimal configuration needed, it just works. this is the software i recommend to friends and family who don't have the technical knowledge to tweak video conversion settings. it's also well-priced for what it does. i have not had any of the crashes or issues others have reported here.

SWF & FLV Player 3.7.15.6198 (Mac OS X)

hooray for auto-update!  

with all the small updates they come out with on this product, an auto-update feature is appreciated and i'm glad they finally put it in. in response to the "nagware" comment...i believe it's only nagware when you play .flv files. it should not be nagging when playing back .swf files that don't contain FLV video.

Mail Watch 3.3 (Mac OS X)

Development appears to have ceased...  

The developer seems to have abandoned this software...this program hasn't been updated since 2005 and doesn't seem to respond to support emails. While it works wonderfully with my PowerPC G5 in Mac OS X 10.4, I can't say the same for its performance on my Intel iMac as it is not a universal application. There I get frequent hangs, long waits and beachballs when opening the menu, and generally poor performance. Which is a pity, because it is still probably one of the better email notifiers out there, especially as it doesn't require Mail to be open. Too bad Google Notifier only works for GMail as it would be a worthy successor to this app. Regrettably I cannot recommend Mail Watch to anyone with Mac OS X 10.5 or an Intel-based Mac.

MovieChapterizer 2.5 (Mac OS X)

since "Demo" isn't very descriptive...  

from the site: "You can download and try MovieChapterizer for free, and add a small number of chapters. To use it to add up to 100 chapters you can also purchase a license code for $15 from our store page or by clicking the Buy Now button on this page." [alert admin]

DockChanger 1.2 (Mac OS X)

FYI no longer technically "freeware"...  

the first 10 changes are free. then the software is $10. and a 41 MB download? that's a little excessive.... [alert admin]

Jax 1.0.1 (Mac OS X)

crashes may be conflict with iVisualize  

i had the same problems...Jax would crash iTunes completely whenever i tried selecting it. so i did a little more research and discovered that it has the same technology as iVisualize built in...and i already had iVisualize installed in my Visualizers folder. once i took out the standalone copy of iVisualize, Jax worked fine. and i imported my iVisualize add-ons into Jax, so i still have them.

auto-genre  

i'm actually pleased they disabled/removed auto genre detection. on my system it was buggy and although it worked, it would keep multiple "genredetect" processes open that would stop iTunes from quitting. one had to go to Activity Monitor and manually kill genredetect. hopefully they'll get it working properly again someday, but there may be limitations to what you can do with current versions of iTunes.

yes, it is.  

shareware is also known as "try before you buy". with a 30-day full trial, limited function past 30 days and a $20 price point, this definitely qualifies as shareware. you don't get unlimited use of it without having to pay. that's called "freeware". if you encrypted your archives with this and now you can't get to them because you couldn't be bothered to read the limitations of the unpaid version, it's your own fault. if…

Not Random-->RandomExtra?  

Perhaps use the free "RandomExtra" screen saver? http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16845

phoning home, because you allow it?  

"I read the software is now phoning home. Spyware?!"

 

you mean checking for updates? which can be disabled by unchecking "Automatically check for updates" in the Help menu.

or do you mean registering/checking registration over the internet, like many applications do (such as those from Adobe)?

Spyware? or protecting their business?

How about A Better Version-number Rename! :-)  

version 8's going to be a complete overhaul of the back-end, and will be a paid upgrade. so the version numbering is probably due to the quantity of little fixes he's been making to version 7.

try 3.0.x  

had similar problems too...i couldn't even use yFlicks! but with the 3.0 update they seem to have fixed many of the "beachball" issues.

This thing wrecked my LCD!!  

shouldn't your LCD go into 'sleep mode' after a certain time? this would be set in System Preferences, under Energy Saver. unless this screen saver prevented sleep mode somehow, i would not be so quick to blame it for burn-in on your monitor. if i left any screensaver running with static images over the course of a few days, there would be a little ghosting on my LCD too.
