StockLookupMBI
May 6 2009
**...

SOULSLAVE  are you gonna charge for this? when stock price is from yahoo finance? so, no real time stock price? i can do the same thing with the stock widget that comes with the dashboard and save myself the money and the menu bar space

StockLookupMBI
May 7 2009

ANONYMOUS  Hello.

I have some comments to make in response to yours.

• StockLookupMBI is not sold individually but rather as a part of my extensive collection of software I call the "Utility Bundle". It's quite a good deal!

FREE updates to all software, always.

Read about it here:

http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html

• Your rating seems to have nothing to do with the program itself and its features, but rather that it costs money.

• The program is as real time as the web sources are. Every time you invoke it the values are reloaded off the internet. (See the system preference pane for a list of data sources.)

• It only takes up about 20 pixles on the menu bar.

• I prefer this functionality as a menu bar item than a widget. Why should I have to invoke all the widgets just to get a quick update on the stocks I want to monitor periodically through the day? This is quick, easy and very convenient.

• Finally I am very receptive to ideas. So suggestions for improvements are very welcome. Send email directly to me at joe@limit-point.com

Ciao!

SOULSLAVE  you can download U tube videos directly to ipod format or others with firefox extensions. isquint is really for when you want to convert a really big file, like a movie.

BRIAN.TULLY  Same here. GimmeSomeTune 4.2 and iTunes 8.02 do not work well together. When you try to quit iTunes, GimmeSomeTune will hang along with its background daemon which requires you to force quit them from Activity Monitor.

GCOGHILL  Yeah having system sounds play while music is playing is annoying.

I wonder if the developer could also add an option to pause iTunes as well as mute the system when the screensaver kicks on? No sense in itunes playing if the Mac is muted.

WALRUSCP  iTunes tended to be a hog before 8.0, but I have noticed that this latest version does tend to steal more memory.

ODDYSSEEY  The now playing info window does not show if iTunes is the frontmost, active application. If Finder or, say, Safari is the active application, then the info should be shown by GimmeSomeTune. Hope this helps.

SOULSLAVE  ok, i love this program! is just what i've been looking for, "a small app that lets me rate my songs from the menu bar".

there's another one out there but is way too bulky. this is just perfect for what i wanted.TNX!

SOULSLAVE  one bad thing is that each time u close the program a window pop's up offering u other programs from the same developer. and its not just the first time u close it, IT'S EVERY TIME!! AND THERE'S NO WAY TO TURN IT OFF!

AKROBAT  Soulslave,

Simply close the application from the dock menu instead of the menubar. That way you get no popups.

MusicPort
Feb 15 2008

APPLE_JULIEN  - Simplify Media use a centralized server (to manage "linked" users). MusicPort work directly from the server to the client.

- Simplify Media need to be registered on this server.

- Simply Media can't share a iTunes database in other place of the installation (my server don't use iTunes : MusicPort work on a backup of my iTunes database).

- Simplify Media is not Open Source

- Simplify Media work on PC, MusicPort not.

- When I tested Simplify Media for the first time (there is three of four month), a part of my database could not be shared (too much file, I think).

But, you can use Simplify Media if you like better Simplify Media ;)
