Time Tracker
Sep 30 2008

CHAOTICPIXEL  So far, I really like Time Tracker. But, I have to agree with the other commenter, this app does need the ability to write comments. Unfortunately, I can't switch over to it until it does. Please, keep up the good work.

CHAOTICPIXEL  I have not had much time to play with the software, but I must say that the customer support is fast and nice. I had a problem with my activation key (actually it was my fault), but they reset it for me anyways, and replied within 24 hours. And, it was over a weekend!

CHAOTICPIXEL  Okay, I have been using this for a couple of hours, and I must say, "WOW!" This is a really simple, yet highly functional, high quality app. The usability is great, stability is great, functionality is great (especially for a free app) and easy to use (although it would help to make it more clear that .pls is the only url it can handle).

And, addition to all of the above, the recording function is fantastic. The quality of the recording was phenomenal, and it was very easy to use.

The only con is the .pls only file handling. If the developer can get more file types accepted, I would give this 5 1/2 stars.

This is a must download!

RBJP  Thank you for this review :)

For the PLS, FStream don't handle juste this playlist format (it's not a stream or audio format).

He recognize also M3U and ASX files.

But you don't need a playlist to play a webradio. You can give to FStream directly the stream URL (often terminated by just a /).

Can you give me the URLs that are not PLS and that don't work ?

Thank you !

CHAOTICPIXEL  This may be a really stupid hint, but it did take me a while to figure it out. This app only, from my observation, can play .pls streams. Once I realized this, I searched for stations that I could find .pls urls and bam, it worked great.

Nice app so far. After some use I will write a full fledged comment.

MediaLink
Aug 10 2008
*****

CHAOTICPIXEL  This software has revolutionized my entertainment system! I can't believe I haven't figured this out sooner. MediaLink works perfectly and as advertised. The intergration between PS3 and my OS X 10.4.11 is seamless, as it is with iTunes and my entire movie collection (.avi). The movies play in real time with no stutters or interruptions; music plays beautifully as well.

Here is a small tip. Either turn off your firewall or open up the TCP port 9386 and UDP 9385. When you go over to your PS3 just go to music or video and look for MediaLink folder in the "drop-down"; don't click on "search for media servers" as it should already be there.

Lastly, NullRiver is a great company. I accidentally make a purchase through PayPal using an eCheck, and it would have taken days to get my hands on the validation code to activate the app. So, in trusting that this was a good company, I actually repurchased the software using a CC, then sent them an email. Within hours they had already refunded me for one of those purchases. AMAZING!

Highly recommend this company and their product!

Con: no user's guide.

CHAOTICPIXEL  Well, I switched to 1.6.3, and now I can't get it to launch at all. It just keeps crashing. Anyone know why?

CRADOM  Had the same problem. It was 1Password. Not using the latest version and I guess Camino didn't like it.

Things
Jun 17 2008
*****

CHAOTICPIXEL  I have dealt with many programs for project management (right now I am using Contactizer), and while Things is not a full blown project management system, I find this to be absolutely perfect for my personal tasks, projects, reminders ... I use Contactizer for all those work projects that are highly dynamic and need all the bells and whistles. But, for what 99% of most people are looking for, Things is definitely where it is at.

CHAOTICPIXEL  First of all, I was very skeptical about this software (every other software I tried failed to "unprotect" songs correctly), but after trying the free demo, I was SOLD! The demo converted 30 Protected AAC files perfectly. It carried over my tags, all the comments, and my ratings!

And yes, you could do this the manual way if you are not willing to pay $25 (on sale at the moment), but who in their right mind wants to waste an entire day going through that process. I would rather pay the $25, go mountain biking, watch a movie or whatever I want to and come back to a perfectly converted library.

Pros: completely automatic, good audio format choices, free demo that works, simple to use (just READ the readme file before proceeding) and is perfectly legal (like anyone cares, right?).

Cons: ugly icon, uses quite a bit of CPU power and kind of slow (speed limited to CD writer and CD-RW used)

Suggestions: audio adjustment would be great (volume adjustment and/or EQ adjustments) when burned and imported, if possible. And, maybe a pause and resume button, if possible.

Thanks for a program that works!
