The typical case on Macs is a lack of choices, not too many.
Software supporting the high quality patent-free OGG format is awfully scarce.

By the way, nobody cares about WMA support. The whole world uses MP3s or AACs. For anything else that iTunes doesn't handle, there are plenty of freeware converters available (e.g. MacFLAC and XLD).

So if iTunes does everything you need of course you don't need Music Man. But there are many things Music Man does that iTunes does not do that people do indeed care about and asked for.

Music Man is nonsense, it's just an alternate interface for standard OS X functionality.

As I mentioned in other posts Music Man does things that iTunes does not do (WMA support, DVD-Audio) and while for a lot of people iTunes does what they need for other people its not the case.
Certainly we don't advocate Music Man if you don't need it, but it does provide much needed functions that we did implement as a result of requests by folks.
How basic is that?!? It doesn't even output the file! And I can't get them to honor their claim of a hassle-free refund!
As with any review forum, consider this very likely possibility:
The first few positive comments are likely posted by the developer, trying to promote their product.
It is also likely that anyone who defends the product (especially this one) may be the developer also.
As disgruntled as they may become, I have nothing to gain from sharing the truth of my very disappointing experience with this product. I encourage you to look elsewhere for software that does what it should and has more then a handful of reviews (probably written by the developer).

Its purpose is to assure customers that if the software has a problem we will address it. Typically if you find a problem we do this (a) fix the problem, (b) give you a free copy of the software and all updates for life.
Its purpose is not to allow anyone with an excuse to get a refund. We do offer complete documentation, free email support, and a fully functional 30 day trial. Please do take advantage of the trial and ask questions prior to purchase - we strongly encourage that.
With respect to lame, Music Man does not use the lame libraries, if uses a specific tested version of lame. When you launch Music Man if that version is not present it asks you to allow it to download and install that version. If you say YES to that it will work. If you want to manually install a different version of lame there are instructions in the Read Me file on what to do but we don't support that.
With respect to us posting our own "fake" reviews. We don't do that. Never have and never will.
Why would anyone buy this produt when they get iTunes for free??
Well you can't convert WMA or even play WMA on iTunes, and for that reason Music Man is excellently, runs seamlessly and quickly.. Other features may be great too, but i haven't tried them yet.

Many of the features in Music Man were put in in direct response to customer requests. If something is missing that you need, ask us and you could suddenly find Music Man very useful indeed.
