    superb software. I think one of the best music managers out there - Works flawlessly with my ipod touch (1st gen os 3) is very very fast at tagging, finding artwork and lyrics

    It's got some UI quirks that I think will be worked out as it develops.

    The devloper is VERY active with posting updates and responding to bugs, faults and enhanements.

    The ONLY criticism I have, is that it takes a while to load (part of that is because it's looking my myipod, but even without that it's quite slow - about as slow as firefox is to start)
    and it uses a lot of RAM, but again, that's being worked on I'm sure.

    overall, very nice indeed

    Fantastic Software; I really like that I can read the lyrics to the music while listening to the songs. Thank you for a great music organizer and rip/archiving program.

    v3509 doesn't seem to copy properly to my 1st gen ipod touch... seems to copy file names but not whole file.

    But previously mentioned bug fixed. overall stability much improved. Excellent

    Reviewing 1.1.3494 Beta (Jul 29, 2009)

    a very nice app, like iTunes, MediaMonkey etc but IMO easier to use and a little bette. Big PLUS for ipod touch syncing.

    If only it was more stable and didn't crash every 5 seconds.

    Autotag = crash
    artwork search = crash
    write artwork to folder = crash

    apart from the flakiness and constant crashing, A superb little app
