I feel that this is an interesting app, but i find it too hard to get working properly.
I just want to have a shared Address Book with the system Address Book, NeoOffice and Thunderbird using the same database.
With this app it seems possible, but i cannot find out how.
I am willing to pay for good software, but for $30 I really expect a solution working out of the box. I would like the program/installer to setup a local LDAP database for me, and get it connected to the system Address Book.
(I am a programmer, but i don't know the slightest about setting up LDAP. The manual is lacking the info that I need to get it running quickly. I know that (with some googling) I would be able to get it working in the end, but I fear this would cost me the better part of the day, which costs far more than $30)
So: please automate all steps to setup a shared address book between LDAP-compatible applications, and I guess you have a goldmine!
(I would deploy it on my clients' macs to get them working woth NeoO, so you would at least sell a few licences to me)
Ignoring all the delicacies of Safari (I use Camino) this app works perfectly to block terminal scripts in disguise.
How to disguise a terminal script as a Word file:
1). create script.command
2). rename to yourfilename.doc
3). 'get info' in finder, make it always open with terminal
this will get you a file that looks like a .doc, has the name of a .doc, and executes without warning when double-clicked.
Although it looks archaic, this really is the Greatest App ever! I work with it daily (in tandem with Transmit) and i love it because i can always count on it.
Would pay for this to thank the developer, but an $100 upgrade to BBEdit is still quite steep. (and i don't relly need the extra features, i write my xhtml + php + css just fine now)
Do these guys accept onations? This sthing is easily worth $30 or $40, for its reliability!
For the reasons stated below: this piece of software DOES NOY WORK and the developer DOES NOT REPOND to e-mail.
Conclusion: don't be as stupid as I was and DON'T BUY tis piece of *insert favourite 4-letter word here*.
I just want to correct the star rating I gave, beceuse a beautiful 5 star interface is worth nothing when the software is not working, and has inflated the rating i gave. (MU: an overall rating might be a good option to prevent this)
On my 'slow' 1Ghz Powerbook G4, transcoding takes several hours.
This would not really be a problem, if transcoding could be disabled, but this app wants to transcode everything it puts on my w800i.
I really prefer the original 192 kbps songs if this makes the difference between 25 mins or 250 (!) mins transfer time.
Worse even: this app totally crashes your memory stick while unplugged during transfer. Transfers cannot be stopped. So you must wait about 5 hours before you can take your phone with you again, because itherwise you will have to reformat your memory stick and you lose all data on it.
I contacted the author, but he has not answered my e-mail from a few weeks ago, and the app, with this bug, has not been updated since september.
Unusable unless you have a really fast G5/Pentium mac.
Those without will have to make-do with iTuneMyWalkman, even though Dreamsicle is far more elegant. We can only hope that this app will be updated.
I paid for this and it is a waste of money.
For the dev: (if he looks here instread oif checking his inbox)
- please fix the dataloss bug
- make the 'do not transcode' option work, so no transcoding will happen
- suggestion: make a 'prepare for phone' option, that transcodes while away and transfers the transcoded songs the phone in a few minutes. So i can go to university and have 512 mb of songs waiting for me when i come home.

Ezxept if this app is installed of course.

I am sorry for rating this app again, but i still felt the rating was inflated.

A faster open source emulator is QEMU, and a great looking and free GUI around that is Q. (See http://kberg.ch/q/)
