Easy there, Turbo. my critique IS a feature request. there are a lot of beautifully designed FREE applications with developers who are dedicated to great user experience using the FREE Sparkle software updating framework for cocoa apps. http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ Adium Transmission Cyberduck etc. you mean to say these developers are less dedicated or passionate about making great software? and if i want to complain about too-frequent updates, i will, as often as i want to. i've offered a great solution. just because microsoft and adobe's auto updaters suck doesn't mean StarPlayer's needs to. |

with all these updates, could the developer either update once a week or better yet, implement the sparkle framework for automatic updates (like Adium for example). thanks. |

Leopard compatible Perian! YAY! doesn't seem to mention whether it needs the companion perian type installer or not. |

i think WireTap Studio is more pleasant to use. overall a better program in fit and finish. worth a look. |

"Added a workaround for a bug in Leopard's AHCI block storage driver," does not inspire a whole lot of confidence when it comes to a defragmenting utility. If it's not rock-solid compatible for Leopard, it's useless. |

Request to Developer: PLEASE FIX THE TERRIBLE USER INTERFACE, OR GET SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU! The functionality is GREAT and unmatched, but the more I use this program the more I realize it's extremely user-hostile. Look at a program like WireTap Studio for an example. How about a waveform of the track so we can visually set start and stop points? There are so many problems, I can't begin to list them all. The playlist needs to be a separate window, resizable, sortable the same way an iTunes playlist is. USEFUL. I need this program to work FOR me. The developer updates it regularly, and regularly IGNORES these issues. please HELP US |

works great as a lightweight bittorrent client on an old iMac G3 350MHz running 10.4.11! |

it's a beta so it has bugs, but it's SUCH a perfect Mac OS X app in terms of look and feel, ease of use. more pleasant than Adium, if less capable. the developer's doing an awesome job! |

i despise growl. it should not be needed. the player interface needs to be MUCH LESS involved. please just use standard mac os x interface. look at a program like transmission for an example of simplicity. on top of that, in version 2.0 the player won't stop even after quitting SiriusMac. i had to use Activity Monitor app to quit the 'mplayer' activity. |

a very welcome widget for nyc mac users. thanks! i do wish it took up less space. perhaps it could be made smaller and more compact? also a great idea would be to have the results IN the widget, rather than open up a web page. thanks again |

another professional musician's opinion here. this program has been my constant secret-weapon in prepping for auditions. nothing matches it's power or features. i've said this before. the interface really needs a LOT of Mac OS X modernization. i wish the developer would spend some time on it or partner with someone who would. |

hmm... if only there was a way... some method of slowing down my machine with resource intensive eye candy that ALSO interrupted my work more frequently! why oh why won't someone answer this overwhelming need? SOMEDAY! |

apple's CALCULATOR app has a currency converter for heaven's sake. i fail to see why this should not be freeware. |

the developer should be selling this program to ebay to give away. this is not worth $5. i'll use sherlock to track my auctions for free. thanks. |

this looks identical to the version 1.2 dyndns updater that dyndns.org distributes. what are the differences please? the dyndns.org client could export configurations. this version can neither export or import. the dns monitor window seems like a great candidate for a dashboard widget. some basic release notes included in the file as well as release dates along with version history would be helpful. |

developer rips off barebones' "textwrangler" for a name and alsoft's "diskwarrior" for a logo. LAME. |

this is my favorite and chosen client. native in cocoa. i find it fast and simple to use. but the killer feature is the 3d visualization of the torrent environment: a huge help in understanding how torrents work and how you're interacting with your peers and seeders. I wish it had more features though. I hope some more updates are on the way. |
