JB4  I respect the developer's right to make money from his creation. Either I pay for the add free version, or put up with those relatively unobtrusive adds.

It's always the user's choice and after using all the other RSS applications for Mac and waiting for all my feeds to load and sometimes watching the apps. crash trying to load them all, I wouldn't even think of switching.  
(Version 3.2.2)

JB4  Now that I've figured it out.... time to give it a rating... ;>)  
(Version 1.1)

JB4  OK.... with this update, I tried again.... this is a script, so just put it in the app. folder and press the volume keys on your keyboard.... the volume adjusts in smaller incrememnts, with one hand... just as advertized... Voila!

Simple, free and effective...  
(Version 1.1)

JB4  Because it takes two hands?  
(Version 1.0)

JB4  Anyone using this?

I did download it and two apps appear; an up volume and a down volume. I put them in my app. folder, but don't understand how to get them to function.

The description implies that one would not have use a slider or the keyboard volume function keys to adjust the volume, but if I try launching these apps. they immediately close.

Just how does one adjust the volume?

Thanks.....   
(Version 1.0)

JB4  "the arrow button on the icon (radio) face"-

Ah ha! On my downloaded radio, there is no arrow button, just a spinning wheel in the white circle in center of the front of the radio.

I'm not sure why I care anymore, because I did download all the free shows to iTunes, in the method you described.... but I've always been the curious sort... I'll try to re-download and see what happens.... thanks for the reply...  
(Version 2.0)

JB4  Funny.... I had to upload the shows to iTunes, from their web site, after clicking subscribe, on the back of the widget, to listen to them.... it's still free, but I expected to receive the stream from the widget itself....  
(Version 2.0)

JB4  Does this work for anyone?

All I get is the spinning wheel inside the radio......  
(Version 2.0)

JB4  "SJK Something that's always brought me back (quickly) to NNW is that it's the only news reader I've found that handles hundreds of feeds relatively efficiently; others always bring the app and/or system to its knees.

(Version 3.2b13)"

Amen!  
(Version 3.2b13)

JB4  On Mac intel, the 7.1 Beta shows empty chat...no players other than I.

Switched back to 7.0 and voila...there are the players...

Whazup?  
(Version 0.71b)

JB4  Camino not "keeping up?"

It still loads faster from the dock than any browser I've tried.

Safari? Not for me.... it's faster than it was, but won't load all the sites I need...  
(Version 1.6.5)

JB4  I've been using this as my #1 browser forever.

Fast, light and stable.

Add blocking works.

For those that want daily (almost) updates there is "Camino Knight" and for those who want to customize the "look & feel" there is "Caminicon." These two pieces of freeware are developed by Reinhold Penner and are indispensable for me.

I don't know why this browser does not get more attention.... all the tests I've seen has it near or at the top in most categories.

My very grateful thanks to all the developers who work on this project (did I say there were daily updates/ ;>) in their free time.  
(Version 1.6.4)

JB4  I also use Firefox and Camino, the Gecko browsers and Opera is pretty close in, loading from the dock, speed, but for loading a page full of photos, Opera has been tested much the fastest.

As for appearance there are loads of skins...you can change the intensity and the size of the icons by grades...what more could you want and it loads the new skins five times faster than Firefox...I hate waiting for those to load....

The most given reason though for using Opera is standards...it works through literally all sites and stability...I've never had it crash....

On a personal and subjective level, the dock icon is the most striking ever used on any application...  
(Version 9.60b1)

JB4  All aces for me.

For the last several updates, I've had no problems.

I send MP3 files fairly regularly as part of a web cast I do and this is just what I need.

simple.... free and it works.  
(Version 2.1.5.5)

JB4  This just gets better and better.

The developer has created a very nice app that does everything I want my iTunes controller to do (and he has ironed out the bugs....), with just the only interface, a simple translucent slider/volume controller that rides on my menu bar....when I want to see the album cover or details...I just ride the mouse over the slider....perfection.   
(Version 1.1.4)

JB4  Not withstanding the information on this page, this version of NNW needs Mac OSX 10.4 and higher.

I tried to load it on my lap top running 10.3.9, which failed and it was confirmed by the developer.  
(Version 3.1b16)

JB4  I've tried several RSS readers, including Vienna and only NNW allows emt o read the already loaded feeds while new ones are still loading.

The others lock up until all my 179 feeds are loaded.

Intolerable waste of time!  
(Version 3.1b16)

JB4  Help.

Since the iTunes update, the last two days, I've woken up to the "Westminster Chimes" blaring at full volume,

Can't take much more. ;>)  
(Version 3.3.3)

JB4  It works very well for me, both as a phone for long distance and as a conferencing tool for a three person hosted, live web cast.

Since we are live,we could not tolerate any crashes.

We talk to each other through a Skype connection, run that feed through a mixer with an "800" phone line and stream away.

After trying several chats, Skype's sound quality far exceeded all the others.

One thing I would like though; with my two partners who are using PC versions, we can only video conference one at a time, not all three together.

Thanks to all!  
(Version 2.6.0.140)

JB4  This new version is fast...faster...fastest.

I've run it three times and have had no stability issues.

This application does exactly what I need.

Flexible and complete rendering of RSS feeds, with the option for built in or remote browser.

I've been using this for three or four years now, one of the earliest users, me thinks and have tried several others, but none have the sorting flexibility and the numerous appearance options and now the rendering speed of NNW.

Thanks to all who have worked to make this the best.  
(Version 3.0a8)

JB4  Yes, I know I can do it that way, but it would be easier to allow another level of settings down to the albums, no?

Anyway, thanks for the reply and the great application  
(Version 3.3.1)

JB4  Thanks to the developer.

Great piece of software.

I use it daily. Always works.

I love the "random" alarm option and the variety of choices of wake-up music which can be set with each different alarm.

Only feature missing?

I'd love to be able to set the wake up music to an individual album in my library, instead of a folder at the top level.

Mon: Joanie Mitchel- "Blue."

Tues: Ray Charles- "Greatest Hits."

That type of thing.  
(Version 3.3.1)

JB4  I find it very usefull. Does just what I want and is very unobtrusive. If I don't want the album cover I don't have to have it and the slider can be made so very small.

One thing with this newest version, the Slider no loger goes horizontal or above the menu bar.

I'm sure it will be fixed quickly though as the developer is working with this app. constantly.

Thanks for a useful tool.  
(Version 8.7.6)

JB4  My only problem with the update is a plain white background.

The desktop preference is not responsive.

Any suggestions?  
(Version 2007-003)

JB4  JB4 "Great gadget.

Sounds excellent.

Nice choice of stations.

How about Boston? WUMB?"

Too much, man. That took less than 48 hours.

Love it.  
(Version 1.0.2.6)

JB4  Just hit the blue button to start.  
(Version 1.0.2.5)

JB4  Great gadget.

Sounds excellent.

Nice choice of stations.

How about Boston? WUMB?

Thanks!  
(Version 1.0.2.5)

JB4  After several updates, it is the best of the lot.

It works, every time, it is flexible enough to allow me my idiosyncratic sleeping patterns and allows me to wake to whatever music I choose.

One feature I'd like, if you ever get around to it, would be to go one level deeper into my music and allow me to choose individual albums.

Thanks for a great and (everyday) useful app.  
(Version 3.2.2)

JB4  I'm now using it permanently, over the few other similar apps.

Very convenient (size and information)and practical. I use it to turn on iTunes and control the volume, as well as display the album art.

There is a new bug in v8.3.3, though.

I can not un-select the artwork and info window in the view menu, so they are both always on my screen, even though I'd prefer to see the info and/or the art, only on the mouse over, as it I did on the earlier versions.

Thanks for the great app. I'm, sure this will be fixed soon.  
(Version 8.3.3)

JB4  Is there any way to use the video feature with more than one other person?

When there are three of us on conference call the video option button disappears.

Thanks;

JB

Great application. Great features.  
(Version 2.5.0.63)

JB4  I love Shira. Fast and with all the features I need, but this new version loads three google pages everty time I open a new page.

Must fix soon. Unusable, as is.  
(Version 2.0b2)

JB4  Loads pretty fast.

Very sharp graphics.

Nice themes.

One problem so far:

When an article in the subject field is marked "read" it dissapears, even though I've set the preference to keep unread articles for a week.  
(Version 2.1.0.2105)

JB4  It's silly to argue on and on, so I looked up your E-mail and sent you some screen shots.

Of the four browsers I have, only Firefox fails to load the picture.

On further review, I'm going to presume that Firefox may be less forgiving for some sort of code variation, so I sent you the code also.  
(Version 1.0.3)

JB4  http://celticsstufflive.com/featured-articles/reggie-flunked-treadmill-tests-and-passed-out-numerous-times/09/16/2006/

This is the link to the latest article which shows the five large photographs with Camino, but not any in Firefox..  
(Version 1.0.3)

JB4   It rendered fine in Firefox 1.5.0.6. (9/16/2006, Version: 1.0.3)

********

I'm using 1.5.0.7 and none of the pictures in the article appear.

There are five of them, if you open the link in Camino, you will see them.

I do know that Firefox for windows renders them, but not the Mac version.  
(Version 1.0.3)

JB4   In the latest Firefox, downloaded yesterday, it does render.

but, photos imbedded in thr tex which appear in Camino, Safari and Shiira, still do not show up in Firefox.

Here is the site, if you want to test it.

(Version 1.0.3)

JB4  Camino has been my 95% browser for years now.

With Rheinhold Penner's Camino Knight and Caminicon, it just looks and performs the way I want a browser to.

Recently, I've been involved in regular writing for a blog and of Camino, Firefox,Safari and Shira, only Camino renders the tools in the editing block.

Score another victory for the Camino team.

Thanks all. Keep up the good work.

JB

Ps. I read MacWorld and more and more of their editors and writers are referencing Camino as their browser of choice.  
(Version 1.0.3)

JB4  While I loved this app. before I upgraded to 10.4, I've found a few others that accomplish the same as this new version.

iTaf was my favorite because it let me choose individual albums with each alarm.

Exp.

Monday: Bob Dylan.

Tue: Joannie Mitchel

etc.

Now we are limited to one choice for all the set alarms.

That would be a great option for the next release, making iTaf unique again.  
(Version 2.1)

JB4  Tip:

if it crashes at startup delete:

"Mac HD:Users:User:Library:Application Support:NetNewsWire:Subscriptions.plist" (Version 2.1b36)

********

Right and lose all my subscriptions? No thanks.

I just downloaded 2.1.1b1 and it won't open.

I'm using the lite version until it's fixed, so beware!  
(Version 2.1.1b1)

JB4  "Quality is not as good as iChat"

As I understand ichat, it does not allow audio/video conference with PC users. It will transmit video, but not both at the same time.

If this application does, it would be the only one I know of.

(Version 4.6)

JB4  A relase from the author:

Just to prove it’s a beta...

3/17/06 5:28 PM Comments

We have found some bugs in the NetNewsWire 2.1 beta just released today. Which is completely expected, and just proves that it’s a beta.

Here are the two main ones, just so you know we know about them...

The first is that it doesn’t run on 10.3.9. It was working on 10.3.9, but a recent change stopped it from working. We’ll get it fixed for the next release.

The second is that, for some people, they can’t refresh at all. (We have a lead on the cause, but we’re not positive yet of the fix.)

We’re working on both bugs, of course, and there will be new betas.  
(Version 2.1b16)

JB4  Not working here, either.

Bummer.

OSX 3.9

iMac G4  
(Version 2.1b16)

JB4  I think I fixed the parsing problem.

When I swithched to 1.5.2 I exported my feeds to the desktop. For some reason, when importing them back, the URL's degraded.

It's working fine, now.

I'm still looking for a way to delete individual feeds.

How about being able to reorder the feeds that are already in place?

Thanks;

JB  
(Version 1.5.2)

JB4  Why so buggy? 1.5.1 worked for a while, then.........nothing.

1.5.2 is worse.

I keep getting the "parsing error" refrain and most of the feeds wont load, except the one that was issued the "parsing error" yesterday.

Mac OS 3.0.9

Is there a way to delete an individual feed once it's been imported?

I'd love to love this app. It wouldn't be my main rss reader, but a desktop reader for the several most frquently read ones, would be great.

Keep working at it. A great concept, but doesn't work yet.

JB  
(Version 1.5.2)

JB  Yup, the fix is in.

2.9.1 works like a charm.

Thank you Reinhold. You da man!

JB  
(Version 2.9.1)

JB  Hangs up while loading (10.3.9).

I'd hold on to V 2.8 until this is fixed.

JB  
(Version 2.9)

JIM METZ  I've been using Speed download for about two years now. It was with me when I had a slow dial up and now that I have cable modem.

I love it. It works perfectly. I download at least 5 applications a week, trying different shareware/freeware

and my only annoyance was on the odd occassion that something opened directly from my browser, not Speed Download,which I read has been tweaked in this version.

I can't believe the negative comments I'm reading.

The developer is prompt with updates, as when Mac updates Safari and I've never had an occassion when it wouldn't work.

Well worth the money, if only for the ability to resume interupted downloads.
