#35 this is not a lie its true so back off. you werent on my computer when i installed so you cant call me a lier.

why would i lie about something, my virus program picked up that trojan when i installed this software, it even showed me where it was, it said c:/programfiles/zortam

that means it was installed with the software that means it came with the trojan.

so dont call me a lier.

#57 – so you think it’s ‘cull’ (cool?) that someone tracks what you’re downloading? You are a ‘full’ (fool).

#48 – that is a very good idea. It’s nice to see there is somebody with an ounce of common sense using this site.

#45 and 6 : You can substitute Notepad for Excel if you want to…. doesn’t make any sense, but you can do it. iTunes is proprietary software designed to enable Apple’s devices and store. Since this is installed “on your computer” you’re obviously not going to be able to “manage files on your iPod” without involving your “computer”.

I will say this: This software is pretty lame compared to both well-known commercial packages and some of the freeware titles listed here. I downloaded, took a quick spin, and promptly uninstalled. The big problem for me is they’re monitoring your activity and I don’t trust their privacy policy. Twenty bucks is not enough per-copy revenue to keep a publisher in business, they’re making money with this some other way, probably selling the data the aggregate. So… expect a new rash of spam and context-sensitive pop-up ads as they sell your info around the ‘net. And no I’m not a loonie conspiracy nut – but I do work for a tech company that levers that kind of information in exactly the same way. YOUR data is worth a lot more money than their license fee. And while I would normally blast whoever is finding “worms” as just ignorant… in this case there may be something to it. Not malicious worms, but various tracking .dlls that your anti-malware software is picking up. Makes me nervous. Have fun dear lemmings… it’ll be really ‘cull’ when your computer becomes a zombie on somebody’s bot-net because of these cheap-ass software substitutes that a publisher uses as an excuse to gather and sell your data to the highest bidder.

Hello from Zortam,

We have found a bug with auto tagging, that is no related to software, more to the ZMLIMD database. So try tomorrow to auto tag files again.
To much users braked a critical section in .zor files. So expect bug fixes together with Vista bugs tomorrow at Zortam.

I have used the freeware/shareware version of this for years. I know there’s different things out there, but I’ve gotten used to this. Going to “Tools” then “Options” you can turn off the search for updates, you can select your favorite player (like mine, WinAmp). If I liked the free version, I’ll guess in advance I’m going to love having the ‘pro’ version and can burn CDs if I ever decide to from my list.
Thanks for letting us have it! for free!!

Downloaded, ran set up. Said it activated ok and to put in the registry as given.
Clicked on desktop short cut. Wouldn’t open. Properties are okay
Found where it installed in program files and clicked the > icon. Did start up and looks nice >> except where the H is the “Please copy and paste this registration information at:
[Menu]-[Go Pro]-[Enter registration number]” from the read me????
Have icons of “A”, Smiley face, play?, search? ///, star, fx, 4 arrows, and a page with what looks like handcuffs? Click on all and can’t tell that is doing anything. No menu descriptions are given when mouse over.

Okay the last one seems to be options. It has “Buy Now” and “Enter Registration Number”
When try to cut and paste or type the info, tells me is invalid.

Also don’t like that stays on top, won’t minimize.

Well, this program was basically much the same as the newest version of Winamp with the lyrics plug in.
There are other programs similar to this out there that is free all the time.
I found this program pretty much bloatware and rather full in your face…Much prefer the small Winamp for playing MP3’s and auto-tagging them (Windows media player gets more artwork than todays offering also)

Tried it again.
Still crashed on first start, but worked when started again.

Tried to scan some of my 80’s tracks (Howard Jones and China Chrisis).

Was most interested in the auto-tag-feature.

Nice feature the auto front-cover and lyrics, when it did find any info. It found some of the HJ-files, but none of the CC-files.
And the speed was not impressive either.

And just for the fun of it, when I used the autotag-feature in the free winamp-player (www.winamp.com).In no time, it found correct information about the CC. The HJ-files (about 160 of them), it got most of the files correct, even the ones without any previous info at all. Some info was horribly wrong, though (it suggested U2 and Nora Roberts as artist). But the “old info/new info” + the fact that you can see the file-information makes it quite easy to see where the error is, and not update that file.

I tried the CC-files in Zortam again, and this time it found some of the lyrics, and additional information, as the file was partly updated by winamp.

On the other hand, the lyrics for the song “Hanna Hanna” are, according to Zortam:
div style=’float: right; clear: right;’
script type=’text/javascript’!–
google_ad_client = ‘pub-3514338521707944′;
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = ‘300×250_as’;
google_ad_type = ‘text_image’;
google_ad_channel = ”;
google_color_border = ‘FFFFF4′;
google_color_bg = ‘FFFFFF’;
google_color_link = ‘4484D4′;
google_color_url = ‘FF2E49′;
google_color_text = ‘7D7D7D’;

You decide if you want this program, but so far, I am not impressed.
Only mp3-support, and not enough info in the database.
I pass.
