I-Doser is a program designed to give users "binaural beat doses" to "sync their brainwaves." It's a music-only media player that takes only DRG files. We'll let users speculate as to the meaning of DRG. These doses, according to the theory, are to align your mood with the theme of the dose. The two included doses, "Alcohol" and "Content," have a not-so-subtle intended effect.
As far as the player goes, no media files besides DRG will work with it, and aside from the two freebies included, users must purchase any additional DRGs. Links are included to the I-Doser community to simplify sharing your I-Doser experiences. Powered by the freeware SbaGen, all in all this is a simple and limited program of mediocre use and questionable intent. It does, however, come with three snazzy skins and is worth downloading for the novelty if nothing else.
Publisher's Description
From I-Doser:
The I-Doser application scientifically syncs your brainwaves to achieve a specific mood or experience, as outlined by the dose you are taking. It does this through the use of a binaural beat dose that changes your brainwave patterns to make you feel a certain way. Binaural brainwave doses for every imaginable mood. I-Doser includes many free doses.
What's new in this version: Version 5.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Its what you make of it"
Version: I-Doser Free 4.5
Pros
if you believe that it works and accept what it does, then it will work. don't expect the real feeling of being high but something similar.
Cons
if you dont believe it will work or your mind is too active then youve wasted your money
Summary
it works fine with me, and if a dose doesnt work the first time try it again and again until it does. it took me a few tries with some of the doses but after that the sensation is actually pretty cool

"boiler-room marketing at its best"
Version: I-Doser Free 5.0.4080
Pros
money making software
Cons
the software has very little to no effect due to lack of knowledge in the field of brainwaves.
Summary
The maker(s) of i-Doser claim extensive research in the field of brainwaves. However, i-Doser is not reflecting anything other than an adaptation of OpenSource software re-invented into a marketing based revenue system.
A few notes to brainwaves:
As an example, a user who wishes to meditate wants to get into Theta "quickly" for deep meditation. The result should be that the Third Eye is opening - the side effect of this is feeling pressure in the forehead.
Amongst other Brainwave software types, usually they lack proper implementation.
So where is the problem?
1. Most if not all audio binaural beats etc. are too soft, for reason they are designed for newcomers to introduce the concept but in the wrong "Dose".
If your Doctor says take this Antibiotic and you buy a cheap knock-off without knowing what's in it.... you get the idea.
2. Second problem is that the audio is too generalized without testing it. Their implementations are based on assumptions not on facts.
Neuro Programmer 2 to 3 have in the advanced version features an editor to make corrections but also it's more expensive.
The only way to achieve the desired result is to either DIY it with software like Gnaural or to work with an experienced team to do it for you. The second option is usually also the most expensive.
Tip:
If your aim is Theta meditation.
If you don't get the pressure feeling in the forehead after 2 to 5 minutes of listening, stop the binaural beat sequence now and then.
It is indication that it does not work for you.
If you want to buy Audio CDs make sure to listen to a sample first before handing over your credit card details. Such sample should be at least 30 minutes.
Hope this helps -

"Needs more research"
Version: I-Doser Free 5.0.4080
Pros
- Easy to use
- Not guaranteed to work
- New doses can be purchased but no samples are providedCons
- Few doses work
- Doses are costlySummary
Many of the programs or "doses" are ineffective, according to myself and most people on the related forums. There is a charge for vendible doses, however, the distributors cannot guarantee the programs will work. I think that this product needs more research into the subject of human psychology and binaural sound waves.

Pros
I-Doser 5 brings a new GUI and fresh doses in the free edition of the software.
Cons
Free edition has a bit of a limited content/feature set.
Summary
This app is for entertainment purposes - there are more serious subliminal audio alternatives such as HypnoHD and Neuro-Programmer.

"I haven't tried it yet. Can't make an honest rating."
Version: I-Doser Free 5.0.4080
Pros
I haven't tried it yet. I had no problems downloading and opening the program. It's nice that it has a link to the website for the possible future purchase of additional programs.
Cons
I haven't tried it yet. I cannot make an honest evaluation of the program. I'll have to get back you with one at a later date.
Summary
I like the prices of the offered programs that are available on tne website and intend to download several of them (as long as the prices stay low). I, also, like the variety of the programs available for purchase. I will also provide an evaluation of the programs I purchase in the future from the website.
