1. it crashes all the time (it actually segfaults on 64-bit systems). This can be sort of remedied by running the application in Rosetta.
2. the php scripts are substandard and badly written (generate broken links, etc, etc) - but it's php - i.e. can be edited -> can be fixed
3. the functionality of the app is horrible as well. it floods the catalog with a randomly selected cover artwork and applies it to all compilation sections. to get rid of this effects takes hours if you have a sizable collection.
4. no response whatsoever from the 'developers'
I could go on - but why?
Advice: stay away from this application. It is one of the most dilettantish application I have seen in a long time. The sheer arrogance of asking for money for this 'upgrade' is unbelievable. My guess is that there are no developers anymore and someone who has access to their code had decided to make a quick buck.

I am also trying to get my money back through PayPal. I only wish I had seen these other remarks before I spent my money.

It found artwork for most of my music, and exported it (over the course of about 45 minutes) into iTunes. Most of the artwork is even the correct artwork. :-)
(In some cases it didn't seem to detect the (already existing) artwork on eMusic tracks. I'm not sure why and haven't looked deeper.)
I have the KavaTunes-generated site hosted at a standard hosting service, and my iTunes library (all 38+ GB, 7500+ tracks of it) deployed on Amazon S3. This combination appears to work quite well. The biggest hurdle was the two weeks it took to actually upload all my music.
As regards file-naming issues, I haven't yet encountered any problems, even with some pretty funkily named tracks.

PayPal is also no help in getting a refund to my registration fee.
So far, this has not been a good purchase.
AVOID THIS DEVELOPER LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Tracks or album names with non-ASCII characters in them appear to crash the PHP parsing modules, so be wary of, e.g., the soundtrack to the movie π; or albums by Asian artists that use non-Roman characters.
The most frustrating part of the program is that bug reports appear to be completely ignored. I filed reports for a bug that occurred in multiple versions of the application and have been ignored.
If you are willing to put up with quirky behavior, the program's Web interface is remarkably similar to iTunes and when it *can* play music it does so very well. I'm not aware of competing products that come close to KavaTunes' functionality, but if there are any out there I would recommend checking them out before paying to register this application.
I have the page up but can't get it to play the music. I even get it as far as the quicktime symbol coming up but will not play the file. I have tried all of there instructions and every possible setting combination that I can think of.

Hello, I bought KavaTunes a while back, it was called iTunesCatalog I believe. I had an HD crash and I cannot find my Paypal Transaction ID so I cannot retrieve the registration key.
Can you please let me know how to proceed?
Thanks.
