RadioRocker 1.2.4 (Mac OS X)
So I tried another user account. No good as Radiorocker had put a hidden file on the diectory level above /Users. I found and trashed it (just creatively sort by date). And now RR says I have an hour trial. (Note: not 2 hours!) Newest frustration is each and every station (all three of them) that I'd want has the little promo/add type intro stream. RR can't get beyond those. Worthless. [alert admin]

RadioRocker 1.2.4 (Mac OS X)
Latest v1.2.4 and still can't proceed because trial has expired. Deleted .plist file. Besides having to try another user what can I do? [alert admin]

RadioRocker 1.2.2 (Mac OS X)
Beta at best. One hour trial was less than 10 minutes. Sheesh. ![]()

Silly me. I ASSumed when I read that the trial was one hour that it would let me restart and use for another hour. Nope. Worse, the one hour was less than 10 minutes. The idea is great but execution is beta. Buggy as can be. I have the latest versions of RR, Perian, and Flip4Mac. The stations I normally use work fine through their streaming sites. None are available through RR. I tried random choosing and after about 7 tries finally got a station to work. Then I got the trial has expired. I've tried just about every trick I know without actually bothering to [k] the thing. Worse, developer's site is down. Probably overloaded with people bellyaching. As this would be so much better than all the hoops to manage sites through the web I hope the developer well. I just can't see spending $$ to be an early beta tester. Besides bugginess, columns in the station listing need to be sortable. Also a script to put the fonts into the correct places should be basic. For that matter, freewares have installer packages.

iTunesVolume 1.1.4 (Mac OS X)
As is it is wonderful. But as good as it is I still do not use the floater because it is lacking what Synergy and others provide. I am not talking of the showing of art when the control is moused over. I'm talking about the floater that pops up on song change. Other apps also allow you to choose duration/song length and year.

wifiTunes 0.9 (Mac OS X)
A one trick pony it is excellent. Does what it says. If all you want is to control iTunes with your iPhone/Touch this is it. Forget Signal and RemoteBuddy. The first time I used this (was on MacUpdate several days ago) I gave a donation within a few hours. And, no, I have nothing to do with the app's development. [alert admin]

httpmail plugin 1.51 (Mac OS X)
Gmail, forward Hotmail? No good here.
The essence of HTTP mail is the ability to read my mail in Mail.app no matter where I am. I work from a laptop and most places besides my home ISP connection block POP and IMAP. This was the *only* solution. Sad. Not devastating, but an end to an elgant solution. [alert admin]

iTunesVolume 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
Finally found what I've been looking for. ![]()

Well, not "perfectly true," but with the *addition* of this I now have all I want for iTunes use. First there's iTunes, much maligned (but if you're interested in these helper apps you must be OK with iTunes). Then I use Synergy as 1) I paid long ago and 2) it is more solid (reliable and featured) than any one other app. GimmeSomeTune causes stutter though not as bad as before. TotalTunesControl comes close but lacks a feature or style I want (but price is decent). Playwatch is a good start (and price is decent). CoverSutra is way overpriced. TuneBar is slick in some respects but is lacking in a couple other areas. But with iTunes and Synergy I have the best of all mentioned above: global hotkey support and nice/flexible artwork floater on track change using Synergy; volume control without having yet another something in my menu bar (plus iTunesVolume's controller can be set to be almost invisible in your workspace) & ability to display huge album art (great Playwatch feature) as well as track info using iTunesVolume. Plus iTunesVolume is free. Other than the lack of good usage info (in English for us gringos) I really do not have any issues at all. I would like it to show art & info on track change but Synergy does that. I would like it to open/close with iTunes open/close but I can do an Automator action for that. I am happy. [alert admin]

iTunesVolume 1.0.2 (Mac OS X)
I mean the window that shows at first use, the one that says, "As you can see, some windows appear ..." I can't find a preference to keep it from not showing. I have tried quitting iTVC and restarting it. It is VERY annoying and so I assume it can be done. [alert admin]

You do know you can use SizzlingKeys or GimmeSomeTune? (I do now.) [alert admin]

Playwatch 1.1.0 (Mac OS X)
Needs hotkeys/keystrokes control ability but otherwise is very sweet. Will probably buy even without the feature. [alert admin]

TRhere is a GUI called Remembr or something like that. trouble with a GUI is then the OS loads. Only free RAM can be tested. Much more RAM is tested when from commandline.
