Needs update to Lion-the developer says they're "working on it" and it does work in Lion, though the control panel needs to relaunch in 32-bit, and crashes after you make adjustments to it. Sounds like a simple fix, though it's not done yet.
So, back to the software-it enhances all audio through the computer, so music sounds richer, and it adds additional "space" to music. Sounds like you're playing your tunes on high-end equipment.
I've tried all of the available audio enhancers through the years, and this one works quite well, though desperately needs an update.
I had purchased this software a few years ago. Then, an upgrade came out with special pricing, and I emailed multiple times without luck about a link for that pricing.
I gave up-I thought the software was good when it worked, and I wanted to try it out again, but didn't want to pay full price again.
I just tried again using their site, and I found that if you register, using the old email address that you initially purchased with, you get the link for the discount upgrade price.
5 minutes later, I'm enjoying the software again-it works well, and is dynamic, which is nice. I've been using the excellent Audio Hijack Pro, but the settings on that are not dynamic, and do not change based on the music played. I find these two pieces of software work well together, and I recommend them both
I have just purchased this program, and also have Connect360, and MediaLink.
This one seems easier to configure (it was problem-free), and offers all the functionality that I need, it seems to offer the same streaming that the other programs do.
I have to test it to see if it suffers from the occasional stutter/drop out that the others do, but so far, so good, and it works on both 360 and PS3, and the price can't be beat. Just be sure to check and see what's in your checkout, as I ended up paying the extra 5$ for license lookup, which I didn't need
Still, having paid 20$ for this software is well worth it to me so far
And-they actually offer a forum/support, which is more than can be said for Connect360/MediaLink
Just an update-I would give this more than 5 stars if I could-it's fantastic.
It's great to have ONE program that works as a server for both the 360 and PS3-it's trouble-free for me.
It's faster, and has less hiccups than MediaLink/Connect360, which I was using before. Those programs worked about 75% of the time, and sometimes would simply stop working, with no reason I could figure out. Perhaps I could if there was customer support/forum, but there wasn't. Oh well-this works really, really well, and is idiot-proof (at least for this idiot).
FETCH is the best-I have never had any issues with this software. It simply works.
For whatever reason, I have had timeout problems with some of the competitors to this program, but NEVER with Fetch. As the previous poster mentioned-this program is stable, simple to use, and almost idiot-proof

I think a one-time 20$ price would be fair, but making us pay for upgrades each year doesn't make it worth it to me

Only problem-I wish that it would work on 2 screens-I have 2 screens, and one is simply blank while the screensaver runs.
Would be great if it would span the screens, or run separately on both (even mirror would be nice)

Is the best to automatically fix ID3 tags, and add artwork to your library. Works relatively fast, too.
I have used a couple of programs to add artwork, but this one works well, and I am very satisfied.
