EDSTATE  First of all, yes, this is a "one trick pony". However, this is a pony that Apple, and iTunes should do a much, much better job with than they do. So... as someone who makes a lot of mixes, burns CDs for people, and listens to a lot of music, $30 isn't so bad.

I LOVED version 1.0, but I dinged the DEV in a review here when 2.0 came out, because of the "turn on soundcheck" function. Apparently when the 4th gen iPods came out, they closed the "loophole" the dev was using, so he had to go that route.

So now this version has come out, and at first I was VERY skeptical about plunking for more $$. However, I downloaded the demo, and.. lo-and-behold... it IS re-built from the ground up. The interface is much improved, and it now has the ability to process many songs at once. Yay. It also produces much better results than 2.0. And while still not perfect, it's still better than iTunes "stock" soundcheck.

A couple of features that need a'implimentin':

• A PAUSE button

• Some way of dealing with "no tag" songs. ...updating the tags in iTunes only fixes a scant few of these. More songs than you'd think do NOT have the proper tags.

• Some way of dealing with iTunes AAC protected songs, and podcasts.

Otherwise, a worthy update. A step forward. Stable, fast, and pretty too.

EDSTATE  Simply brilliant... A real gift. And a must have.

EDSTATE  $179 wouldn't be bad if this had been updated sometime in the last few years. Universal Binary, pro favor?

EDSTATE  This program has a lot of potential, but there is next to ZERO documentation/support for this thing. Sure, you can email the dev, who is darn responsive, but there are little, annoying issues that can creep up, and all you can really do is email the dev. They have a FAQ, but it's hi-and-miss. For sure, a user-supported forum is needed. But at the very least they need a manual of some sort.

EDSTATE  After the 2008 - 002 Security Update I'm now getting an "Apple Script" Error on the Cleaning tasks.  
(Version 1.9.4b2)

EDSTATE  I guess I'm the 1-out-of-100 people who can't get this program to work!

Both my computer and my 360 are going through a Linksys Cable/DSL router w/ 4 port switch. And they both connect to the internets just fine.

But I can't seem to get them to "see" each other. I have all my firewalls off on my mac, and don't have any weird programs that could block communication.

I have spent some time on the phone w/ Linksys (which is where my gut tells me the problem is), but the only thing they've had me do was "enable DMZ" and then change my MTU packet size from 1500 to 1400. both of which didn't work.

I've emailed NullRiver and have gotten pretty spotty help. They're trying... I guess. But it's just $25 for them!

I really do think they should host a forum on their site. Because there's really nowhere to get help if you're the lonely 1 out of 100 who it doesn't "magically" work for.

Help?
