iDefrag is an excellent application - reliable and effective. Plenty of options (algorithms) and a surfeit of information on exactly what state your drives are in. Useful if you are working with large audio or video files where defragging does make a difference. I have used iDefrag for over a year and it's never failed or locked up.

Mac OS X does a decent job of reducing fragmentation of smaller files but like most built in defragging systems doesn't address free space fragmentation at all.

I'm not sure how they could offer a fully functional demo as you don't use an app like this often, people would simply use the demo and not buy the application after it had done its job.

Overall recommended for users of applications which handle large files etc.

The fuss about the application/service is true! 1Password is an excellent application. My only worry is it's reliance on the Apple Keychain which uses Triple DES (I believe) which is slightly less secure than other algorithms but has the advantage of being fast.

I would also recommend trying out Koingo's DataGuardian which is very flexible but not as well integrated as 1password.

A great way of adding some graphical customisation to a standard template. With a little imagination you can achieve very interesting layouts. Tons of features, a recommended application to complement the excellent Rapidweaver.

Looks interesting and Plasq software is usually good, but it should be pointed out that "quantum" actually means small or proportional.

Superb finder replacement with tremendous depth. A ridiculous number of features, basically Pathfinder can do almost anything. Takes a while to discover the features so give it a decent trial period if you are checking it out. Well worth the money and ideal for anyone frustrated by the rather dumbed down finder.

After trying the demo, I find that WireTap Studio is an easy to use, neatly designed application which lacks a couple of features I expected.

There doesn't appear to be any obvious metering, other than calling up the source tab in the preferences window, not very convenient. No control over whether it's peak or RMS metering either.

No level (gain) controls for the recording level?

Live preview is an interesting feature but with some experience you should be able to judge which format and level of compression to use anyway.

There are some well designed features however, and this app will suit some users exactly, worth evaluating and comparing with Audio Hijack Pro etc.

Having tried most of the alternatives I keep coming back to Journler, huge amount of features and very flexible with a lot of depth. In my experience Phil Dow (developer) is extremely helpful and will provide quick support if needed. Quite happy it's turned to a paid for regular shareware model as it's definitely worth the money. I use it as mainly a digital scrapbook and it excels at this. Although I was disappointed that the full encryption feature was dropped in the more recent versions, there are ways around this. A key decider for me was the good export options and the fact the Journler files are basically rtf. This prevents the app. becoming a data island and a liability in the future. Highly recommended - give it a try.
