I'm not commenting on your comment but rather the overall feel of sentiment over there regarding the app. Many of the comments sound like a lot of comments from blind power users with a mac for tech. "I don't need it because I'm smart and work this stuff out easily on my own." not to mention th

You could use mpeg stream clip to do this. I don't' know where to get it anymore as the program is no longer being developed but perhaps http://download.com will be able to help you there. It rips in to aiff format. dunno if there is a way to rip in to anything else. Good luck. On Dec 17, 2012

Hi Jim, When I click the button you mentioned, I am taken to a new page in the iTunes Store, not directly to my account. It works pretty much the same as it always has here, using iTunes 11.1. I suggest you try again, as this seems very strange. Yours, Zack. On Dec 17, 2012, at 4:50 PM, Jim Nose

Hello: Thanks for your response. I know what you are saying because I use to be able to do that; however, where there is a "check for updates button", it now says "24 updates available." When I click on that button, it simply brings me to my account button. I tried de-authorizing and re-autho

Hi Jim, No, there's a separate Mac version of the Amazing Slow Downer that is sold from the developer's web site. He does have a trial version, which is how I know that the app is accessible, but it costs $49.95 for the Mac version of the app. The iOS app is universal, and I know that VoiceOv

Hello Dónal, I've been using the Kobo app on my iPhone for almost three years now and once set up correctly, it's thoroughly accessible. Kobo books can also be read on the Mac with Adobe Digital Editions. I can't remember the authorisation process on the Mac as it's a long time since I did it.
