4QVS  Only because there is sth wrong on your system does not mean the PERIAN QT plug-in is so bad as you write here. I could trash almost all other plug-ins and it even works with QuickTime Pro (v 7).

4QVS  rating ??

why do you give it a really poor rating here?

this is the Program to be run on a Mac.

If the iPhone app is crap (in your eyes), then dont vote here and give a nonsense rating.

4QVS  "(...) but the new toolbar is awful; the icons are all dim and look disabled all the time, it appears to use a somewhat non-standard toolbar control that doesn't act quite right, and its sluggish and acts weird at times. I really don't like using it."

I fully agree. It is a non Apple standard toolbar and I really dont like it!

4QVS  I agree 100%:

"My only complaint is that the tool bar is a little bit clunky looking. It just looks kind of weird. It works fine...it just looks kind of awkward and not nearly as clean as it should be for all the work that must have gone into this application."

4QVS  Do you work for free? all day long?

I am a longtime User of OmniFocus. I payed for a reliable piece of Software that I trust

(It shall not crash and loose my data in no circumstance).

And when real heavy Problems occur, I expect them to respond to my Bug report asap !!!

You think that this support/promise can be done for free??

Just do the math and then rethink... or dont buy any Software at all.

The kind of Software that is really, really very overpriced is the crap from Micro$oft.

TOADLING  Personally, I had no problems with the upgrade, but I can sympathize with your loss. :-) Fortunately, it looks like all the issues have been ironed out in the more recent updates (i.e. 1.7.3).

Radioshift
Aug 6 2009

4QVS  Wow!

Are you paid by Rogue Amoeba Software ???

This app is just not ready for prime time!

I am a iTunes power user: I have an extra iTunes Library for RADIO.

there I have about 10 genre playlists from clasic, jazz over house to drum n bass ...

each has at least a dozen stations and they have my ratings ...

So I would say I have invested a lot of time in maintaining my RADIO Library.

the only thing I am missing is to live recording the stream (each in its Original streaming Quality) which I am listening.

Thats why I came to test Radioshift.

I am very frustrated with this app.

waiting and waiting ... to find a lot of unsupported stations..

I found later in the setting how to disable those stations! why is this not default behaviour???

and no instant recording !!!

PS: I am currently testing Macsome AudioRecorder recording my iTunes Stream...

(not the same as the ugly Audio Recorder here on MacUpdate)

see here:

Audio Recorder
Aug 6 2009

4QVS  No! it is absolutely not the same!

I just tested both.

the free one does just record syste audio; but no app recording (e.g. iTunes)

This Audio Recorder here can "hijack" other applications to record audio from it.

it is quite simple but not very nice looking.

features are OK.

I'm would compare it to Audio Hijack Pro ...

4QVS  Dont trash Flip4Mac WMV Player plugin!!

You will need it for files in the M$ proprietary format .wmv or .wma

I dont like the Flip4Mac installer but for now it is still the only way to go.

You may move unwanted files after installation ;o)

*....

4QVS  SLEEP MODE IS NOT SUPPORTED !!!

-------------

I did a google reSearch for the kind of trouble/problems I had.

conclusion:

I will not try again to install it under Mac OS X 10.5.x with my ATi Radeon 9800 PRO in my PM G5 Dual 2 GHz.

read on about some really weird stuff at Apple Support Discussions:

M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 Driver ...

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1910640&tstart=30

-------------

Now, I know why M-Audio drivers have a very bad reputation.

It is just plain rubbish trash!!!

4QVS  Quote from M-Audio Forum:

-------------------------

There is one issue ... Sleep Mode. The QS did so very well before installing the Audiophile 2496.

Now I get this:

Mar 29 14:01:04 Moonstone-Art-Studio kernel[0]: PCI sleep prevented by non-power-managed pci1412,d634 (1)

Is this a known non-option of the 2496? Does not support Deep Sleep?

The monitor goes to Sleep ...

The answer from M-Audio Tech Support:

--------------------------

Sleep mode is not supported

4QVS  Nice Card but I don't like the fact that it supports no deep sleep.

So either my Mac is turned on all the time or I have to shut it down.

If I forget and walk away (and my Mac wants to go in Standby) I will have to force shut down my Mac.

I have the M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496 PCI Card.

My Mac is a PowerMac G5 Dual 2GHz with 8 GB of RAM.

I tested this driver under Mac OS X 10.5.5

4QVS  As I am using this little app since ... (so long I forgot)

I agree a 100% with the previous 4 reviews!

It just works (if you know what you are doing)

As a Mac Admin I could not live without it!

I specially like the feature to remove ACLs

4QVS  free trial - nice.!?!???

I installed it 4 years ago. And it seemed not useful to me so I forgot that I had installed that little app. I now use iTunes all the time.

I have imported many radio feeds from the web into iTunes and all the favourites are there.

Since one can have two iTunes Library there is really no need for this app.

I came here because I hoped they would eventually update their little nag-ware.

but no.

I just reinstalled it on my G5 with MacOSX LEO.

unhappy to read that my free trial is only 35 hours.

Does this mean I had used allready 65 hours in 2005?

(somebody wrote sth. of 100 hours?)

I was looking for some house or trance radio stations.

no luck. only Alternative, Rock, Classical, Blues & Jazz Genres.

When you play a station you get comercila bla bla before the music starts playing!

There is a nice feature to see the album artwork, but you cannot drag or copy it to the desktop!

The whole app does not behave like a native mac application.

no copy paste! no drag and drop! ugly interface!

If you are not a 365 VIP (paid) member, then forget about this software right now!
