AMBROSIASW  Hello,

I'm sorry, but WireTap Studio does not have a "Statistics" function. The information on the audio segment that had been recorded with WireTap Studio can be found in the audio editing window. Should you have any questions on how to use the software, Ambrosia offers video tutorials which are free to watch on their WireTap Studio page. You are also free to post questions on the webboard or write to tech support.

Thanks

SWORDFISH  Whoops, I forgot to add:

I agree local lists are useless, but instead of whining about them, why don't you disable them?

IIRC, iScrobbler ask you twice about using local lists. If you decline twice, they will be disabled.

If you already enbaled thm, delete iScrobbler's prefs (~/Library/Preferences) and decline to use lists at next launch.

SWORDFISH  The stats changed location, it looks pretty cool but you need Growl. From the dev:

"Install Growl and hover your mouse over the note menu for about 1 second. A Growl note will appear with the currently playing track and below that the number of submitted songs and the number of queued songs as well as any server error messages."

SWORDFISH  "- File Permission: There seem to be a couple of Bugs in the Finder handling File Permissions."

Bugs exist to be fixed.

"- Stability Problems: Many Users report BlueScreens and Crashes (is this a Micro+++ Product?)"

This is entirely Unsanity's fault and Apple has nothing to do with this bug.

"- Incompatibilities with many Pro Software e.g. Adobe CS2 Suites. Adobe won`t release Updates or Bugfixes according to their Website."

Blaming Apple for Adobe's crappy sortware and support is incredible to say the least.

"- File Preview: More Disturbing than helping....e.g. Audio file Preview."

Who's forcing you to use it?

"- Time Machine: Backup still requires a Disk."

OMG noooo! It doesn't backup into thin air!

"- Now some Pros are forced to use the Terminal?"

If they are Pros they should have no problems in the terminal.

iScrobbler
Nov 9 2007

SWORDFISH  Ok, well if you want it explained for you, here's how it works:

You need to scrobble tracks on you iPod BEFORE you play any tracks on your Mac.

Why? Because Last.fm doesn't accept track submission that are older than the latest submission.

Example: you play a track on your iPod at 12:05. You play a track on your Mac at 12:15 (which is immediatly scrobbled). You connect your iPod to your Mac at 12:30. iScobbler will send the track you played at 12:05, but it will be rejected by Last.fm because the latest track was scrobbled at 12:15.

Solution: you need to connect the iPod to the Mac before playing the track on your Mac.

Example: You have a file named "boo.txt" in a folder. If you decompress a 7z archive in the same folder, and the archive contains a file named "boo.txt", the original "boo.txt" will be overwritten without warning.

SWORDFISH  Well for me it just overwrote it. I tested by putting a .txt with some content in the archive, and putting another .txt with different content in the directory I was extracting to. After extracting the archive, the file in the folder had the content of the .txt in the 7z archive, and there was no sign of any other renamed file.

SWORDFISH  Warning download at your own risk!

1. Horrid interface, reminds you of Windows Vista. Apple can't even follow their own interface guidelines!

2. Uses 3 times more physical memory!

3. Buggy album artwork behavior.

Conclusion: looks like Apple made iTunes uglier to fit with Windows... makes sense, Windows users are a bigger market than Mac users.

SWORDFISH  Here is what the developer(s) have to say about an intel version of Fluid:

"We have been receiving quite a few emails wondering if there are plans to release a Universal binary for Fluid. The answer is YES, and we are already hard a work on it. We are also using this time to run down some old bugs and throw in a few new features. We do not have a release date yet, but rest assured that Fluid3 will be released as soon as we feel confident that it is ready."

Psst

SWORDFISH  Something very annoying about the intel Macs is that they don't remember the volume setting between restarts, and they *still* chime if headphones are plugged in. With Psst, you can set the volume so it's always at the level you want it when you restart your Mac, and you can lower the chime volume or mute it altogether. Small memory footprint, invisible, Psst is great!

SWORDFISH  Please, it is possible to distribute the plug-ins in a .zip or .dmg? Stuffit is an outdated format.

Equinox Filters
Aug 20 2006

AZRAEL  These filters are not OS specific, rather Photoshop specific. In such they should work in Photoshop up to version 7. CS/CS2 compatability is unknown, as I do not own either to test. Equinox Filters is distributed only in formats both those running Classic, and OS X, can use. DMG archiving is OS X specific, so it is not considered. Zip archiving requires binhexed support, so that the data is readable once decompressed. I have supplied a file in such a manner now for download. However, those of newer systems are most likely using CS/CS2. And as previously stated, I am usure of how and if they will work on them. If you feel unsure to try them on CS/CS2 ... dont. Simple as that.
