it can't write lyrics into songs on iPod?

I find it useful, but under 10.5.1 it prevents iTunes from quitting; it actually immediately restarts iTunes after quitting. The only way out of the loop is to go to the Dashboard and quit Sing that iTune. I'm using version 3.1.

Version 3.1.2 is out and it seems to have fixed any issues related preventing iTunes from quitting. It has also been automatically updating lyrics without having to bring up Dashboard since version 3.0, and allows you to make quick changes to the lyrics and copy them instantly to the song, all within the widget itself. This is definitely an invaluable widget for anybody looking for an easy solution to add lyrics to their songs!

My one gripe: it still searches for "歌詞" on Led Zeppelin lyrics. It seems those are the Japanese characters for "lyrics," but when it attempts to look them up for Led Zeppelin songs, it prevents it from finding any lyrics. It has been doing this for a very long time, before even version 3, and I really wish the developer would do something about it. I emailed him a few weeks ago and received no response. Developer: if you're reading this, please fix this! Everything else about the widget is flawless.

Installed trial, moved just a few files around my HDD and to FTP and instantly knew I had to have it.

Just taken them up on the 47% off deal with only 6 hours remaining. I must say it feels like I just found £10 on the floor and bought a gold watch with it. Can't wait for this to get better and better - as long as it doesn't get 'top heavy' like pathfinder as I quite agree with astorgs comment

If you could synchronize panes between a remote and local connection (like in Trasmit), then this would probably cause me to buy this software and ditch Transmit and Path Finder.

Its a fantastic application.
But would the devs please, PLLLEAAAASE THINK ABOUT USING AN OTHER PAYMENT METHOD so you don't have to register a CRAPPY PAYPAL account for getting a license of this wonderful app?!
Thanks...

I would use this instead of Transmit if a Textmate bundle existed for it. Having one key command in Textmate to upload a file via Transmit is invaluable to me.

I think Transmits GUI is much smoother and efficient.

I've been using ForkLift since it was first in beta. Has been the only file manager that I've actually paid for. That said, the UI was always a bit of a mess (although functional). The new beta, however, is amazing. The UI is as beautiful as it is functional, Leopard frameworks are being harnessed (QuickLook in ForkLift was just what I needed) and it's just showing more and more promise as time goes on. ForkLift is definitely a worthy file manager.

To me, as silly as it may sound, an application's icon is everything. That's why I'd like to say, I think the original icon was really much more beautiful. This one looks too dark and somewhat weird.

Depending on the task at hand I am using ForkLift more and more but it still lacks the punch of my FTP app of choice, Yummy, for critical tasks. Looking forward to seeing how this one develops.

I think QuickSilver triggers can do this too.

I run Microsoft Money via Paralles Desktop. Is this thing better?

This program is total crap. Unstable, lacking some VERY basic features. Transfers between accounts? Nope.
A running total balance column? Nope.
Here's a money management tip: save $40 right now by leaving Cha-Ching alone.

Cha-Ching does allow transfers between accounts.

Cons: No running total, this is annoying. Lack of reporting graphs. While this is partially offset by smart folders, it still needs more reporting options.
It also doesn't have auto matching with downloaded files, or rules to allow you to modify the transaction names or tags automatically.
I don't consider not having auto downloading from bank websites a con because most non-Quicken applications don't have it. I wouldn't expect a 1.x or even low 2.x version to incorporate this.
Pro's: Cha-Ching's tag implementation is much more versatile than categories, and with smart folders is very powerful, and to me is it's greatest feature.
Looks and useability, simple and easy to use, a lot of the kinks in the earlier versions have been smoothed out.

All in all, I use this because of it's tagging capability. It's a 1.x application right now, and this shows in some areas. However, what it does, it does do, it does very well. If you can work around some of it's 1.x shortcomings until they are dealt with in later versions, you'll find a very useful personal finance application, with very powerful search and grouping features.

I suggest everyone try it. It's not for everyone!

That said: I absolutely love the tagging/smart folders approach to managing money. It's the money management tool for the Web 2.0 generation.

It's a fun, smart, and usable app. I am currently managing 3 credit cards, 1 savings account and 2 checking accounts with this thing.

disclaimer: it does take a little bit of time to wrap your head around how it works, it's similar enough to a checkbook that you can dive right in but its different enough that you are going to want to poke around and get creative with it.

I got this as part of the last MacHeist bundle so I gave it a try... thumbs down. Very counter intuitive, lacking in features, no even simple "get started" guide. Pretty much crap. Tried out IBank which I am now LOVING.
