The number of whining comments here is sad. Most seem derived from the Internet expectation of free and cheap, rather than quality and fairness. Being a developer is to be in business. Rent has to be paid. Pricing changes. This is true in the real world, and it is true in the virtual world.
Yet far too many expect anything acquired on the Internet to be either free or very cheap. In any world, real or virtual, you get what you pay for.
If you find a product that doesn't meet your expectations, be constructive in your comments. Far too many here seem rooted in bitterness or selfishness (or from competitors).

If you don't want to upgrade, don't. Wow, you saved your self FIVE WHOLE BUCKS. Boy you showed HER. Why, you could buy half a Starbucks coffee with your savvy savings!
As it happens, I won't be upgrading. Not because of anything Sophie did -- I just don't use the program much, and thus don't care to upgrade (though this "upgrade" is so cheap I consider it a trivial expense). I might come back to it someday, but I just don't spend much time in my iTunes music library as I used to (I've been more focused on video lately).
The rest of you -- grow up, or at least interface with the real world of income and expenses a little more often.

People are saying that there were too few additions to the new versions to make them worth a paid upgrade... Others were financially crippled by the $4.99 upgrade fee that they HAD to pay for the upgrade... If the update is worth it to you, pay the upgrade fee. If it's not worth it to you, don't pay and don't upgrade and you can pretend that none of this ever happened. Either way, $4.99 for a great app is too petty an amount to cry about "broken promises" and switching to an "acceptable compromise".

but if you simply *must* deal with this hostile developer, don't be dumb and buy it here for 19.99... go to the mac app store and purchase it for 4.99. beware - if you buy it here, you are going to get charged again in the future to upgrade, no matter what she 'promises'.
if you're looking for a solid, *free* alternative from a developer who is not openly hostile to their customers (as sophia definitely is), check out bowtie. note: i am not associated with bowtie, but have found it to be an acceptable replacement, especially given the 0.00 price... that shows me this developer is more concerned about software than money!

what i don't see is a simple apology from this developer... and likely never will.

Don't buy this, download instead bowtie or tunesart, they are both better and free

She clearly chose to stick it to customers, go back on her word, and in her own words "lie" and call this v3.

You can download version 2.0.1 using the following link:
http://coversutra.com/get/2.0.1/
It turned out that the new framework I'm using caused the troubles. I'm working on fixing that right now.

Also it won't show up Growl notifications anymore (only sometimes) - I tried to delete all preferences and caches - but no luck.
After installing 2.0.1 again, everything works fine again.

The option to use Growl notifications seems to have vanished, too - please can we have this back? I don't want loads of apps that all use their own notifiers: I want everything to work with Growl…
The Growl preferences are now in the advanced preferences which are hidden by default.
To access advanced preferences:
- Open the application menu
- Press and hold down the Option key.
- Choose Advanced Preferences….

I didn't realise the garbage collector was to blame there: it does seem a bit slow to release at times, though. Hopefully that'll improve in 10.5.3 :)

I have Growl configured to tell me when scrobbling succeeds or fails, and it's giving me no notification when it fails.
1) All items greyed out in the menu except help, after trying to access help.
2) Choosing preferences don't bring up preferences.
3) What is CoverSutra? Doesn't show up as an app and as I can't force quit when it is misbehaving, I'll have to restart my computer.
Running CoverSutra 1.1.6 on a G5 single (PPC) with OS X 10.4.9 and iTunes 7.2
I have e-mailed the developer, however no response so far.
I'm not sure why the preferences window does not show up on your mac. You probably just missed the window, you might use Exposé to see if the it was just hidden by a different window.
CoverSutra runs mainly as an application in the background. Those "background applications" doesn't show up in the force quit window, but in the activity viewer application. You can make CoverSutra running as a standard application with Dock icon by selecting the "Show application icon in dock" option in the general preferences.
Well, I think I find a better solution for the next release.

I really like it as a mini-player instead of using iTunes and that's kinda what I use it for at this point, however when I click off it the app fades away. Is there a way to disable this? Even when it's in the background I'd like it to be visible.
Is that possible? And, if not, will it ever be a feature in the future?
+125
Any idea when it's going to be added?
