iShow Invisible 1.2 (Mac OS X)

downloading now . . .  

But "Invisibility Toggler" 1.0.3 (for Tiger) has been "old reliable" for me for over a year. Solid. Free. Still, I'm gonna try "iShow Invisible" and see if I really can use the extra "features." [alert admin]

Mariner Write 3.8 (Mac OS X)

Still No Joy  

This software is NOT ready for prime time. I'd love to say otherwise, but, for now, I'm still stuck with MS Word. Haven't tried Apples equivalent, yet. This version (3.8) is just as bad as the last one. I open a formatted MS Word ".doc" and all the formatting is scrambled. It happened with all but the most basically (or not-at-all) formatted files. Useless for me. Sorry [alert admin]

Tidy Up! 1.3.3 (Mac OS X)

Over Kill for Most People  

I have only 4,000 songs in my iTunes Music Library. I pay attention to where I save and file things. For most people, who are *reasonably* attentive and organized, this program (roughly ONE THIRD the cost of an *new* OS, btw!) this is "over the top." Somebody commented they found "5,000 exact duplicates" of one song! Oh god, can you say clueless? Somebody like that would probably have six cartons of milk --- all opened and half consumed --- in their refrigerator. Come on, really! Think about it. If you pay *reasonable* attention to what the hell you are doing when you save or download (I didn't say "pirate" or "file share," optimistically), this program *might* be a good value if it were *free* (hell there are hundreds of useful, one-trick pony apps that are *worth* paying for but are *free*), but $30? I'm glad I know how many cartons of milk are in my refrigerator. The "5,000 exact duplicate" comment provider? You need help! He'd argue, "well, I have '100,000 songs." I'd argue, "yeah, and you probably haven't listened to more than 3,000 of them more than once," and "yeah, and how many dozen have you actually *paid* for?" But, no, I wouldn't want to embarrass him/her. [alert admin]

MP3 Trimmer 2.8 (Mac OS X)

Have the following comment providers never tried Audacity?  

That would be sad. And it would explain their preoccupation with *this* program an "Fission." I'm going to at least *try* MP3 Trimmer. But, Audacity is FREE. Fission is NOT. [alert admin]

Hazel 2.1.3 (Mac OS X)

Too Expenisve . . .  

for something I can and quickly do *much* better myself (thank you) for *free.* Still, I can't help but wonder if Merlin Mann uses this program. Then again, I paid $100 for Tiger. So, *20 percent* of that --- just to do what I'm already doing (easily and well enough for free) --- for another One Trick Pony --- seems a little steep. At least for me. YMMV. [alert admin]

iAlarm 2.01 (Mac OS X)

Useless for Wake-Up When Computer Sleeps  

I tested this program---repeatedly. It simply doesn't *not* wake up the computer when the computer goes to sleep. There are other options that are nothing, if not more elegant and user friendly --- and effective when waking from sleep. Alarm Clock 2.4.5 is one that has never failed me. All it takes is a one-time "authorization" to wake up your computer from sleep. And, it's free. I use a simple (68k) and very functional script (iSleepSound) with iTunes to put my computer (and myself) to sleep after a set amount of time. Then, I use the alarm clock of my choice (usually Alarm Clock 2.4.5) to *reliably* wake me up. [alert admin]

Album Cover Finder 6.3.1 (Mac OS X)

don't waste your time  

I've been trying almost every "update" for ACF that comes out. It's kludgy. Prone to freezing and hanging. Buggy. MPFreaker is another option that also finds Lyrics and is much easier to use. It is reasonably priced and well-supported with regular updates that improve performance and have added a few features. [alert admin]

MPFreaker 1.7.3 (Mac OS X)

Long-time user  

I've tried most of the rest. This is the best. 1.7.3 is stable and every update has improved performance. Features are added judiciously. Lyric finding has been added. It was worth $20 when I first bought. Now, with all the improvements, it's even more of a value. [alert admin]

Corripio 0.7.2 (Mac OS X)

Still Runs Like an Alpha  

Or Beta. Crashes. Tried 0.7.2. Crashed. Just like last version. My system (Tiger with all the latest updates) is normally rock solid. I don't have any problems with programs crashing and hanging, normally. This program is *not* ready for prime time. Save yourself from the trouble of downloading it. My experience with MPFreaker (I bought it over a year ago) has vindicated my spending $20 for it. Frequent improvements by an involved developer make using MPFreaker worth every penny I paid for it. Lyrics. Artwork. Easy to use. Rock solid (version 1.7.3). Try it. You'll like it. aloha . . . [alert admin]

Latest system update, odd behavior  

I get the same "Icon-to-the-right-of-Spotlight-icon" symptom. Annoying. Obviously *not* a "feature."

Ironic: Follow Up  

Got a response to feedback I posted with Developer online in minutes---on the weekend. Come to think of it, I got a response within an hour---on the weeked---when I had problems with another issue while I was using the FREE (trial) version. I call that "S-U-P-P-O-R-T." I still think that the registration process sucks. And I haven't used other password management software. Overall, I would have to say my previous 3-Star rating was harsh. I think the…

OS X version sensitivity  

AMEN! Thoughtful, constructive criticism is something I can relate to. I agree. Not everyone is an early adopter. Thank you. brian a.
