"The difference is very noticeable."
Version: SRS iWOW Premium for iTunes 3.1
Pros
The plug in makes the music sound much better.
Cons
Their web site says that this plug in does not work with Airport Express. Not sure what this means.
Summary
This plug in is recommended for anyone who wants better sound from the songs and movies in their iTunes library than iTunes can give itself. I rarely pay for software. If it's not free I don't use it. But this plug in is one piece of software that I am glad I bought.

"Dysfunctional Version 3.1; Use Version 2"
Version: SRS iWOW Premium for iTunes 3.1
Pros
Great control of iTunes audio well beyond any equalizer. Version 3.1 fixed a bug in version 2 that kept switching the program over to movie mode when it should be in music mode.
Cons
Version 3.1 disabled functionality. Custom settings cannot be saved. Nor can they be kept between tunes. The presets provided are awful.
Summary
If you've got version 2.0.2.255 of SRS iWOW, stick with it and do NOT upgrade. There are a couple bugs in v2, but they're nothing compared to the incredibly annoying loss of functionality in v3. Over the past year, SRS have been asked repeatedly by countless customers to 'finish' version 3 and add back ALL the version 2 functionality. SRS have not responded. Meanwhile, version 2 works fine with Snow Leopard and is far superior to version 3. I'm sorry I tossed SRS any money for version 3. I personally have given up on it, trashed it, and reinstalled version 2 again, providing a return to sanity.

"Rated low because the nag window disables itunes :-("
Version: SRS iWOW Premium for iTunes 3.1
Pros
Sound is very good
Cons
I cannot use itunes now without re-installing after the demo
Summary
The sound enhancement was very effective. I'd planned to buy until the trial ran out and the nagware prevents me from accessing iTunes no matter what I've tried. I will not patronize by force.

"Improved Sound Quality"
Version: SRS iWOW Premium for iTunes 3.1
Pros
The download provides a 14-day free trial. I immediately could hear the difference on every genre of sound I sampled. Yes! That's the full rich sound I was missing. The free trial sold me right away.
Cons
How to decide which product was right for me.
Summary
I own a custom built PC w/ quality sound card and 2.1 speakers. With all the setting available w/ my sound card I could not get the rich sound I wanted. Came across this product in PCWorld. .SRS iWOW provides customization or you can let it pick the settings based on genre. Since most of my listening is done through iTunes I wanted the iWOW for iTunes. Works w/ Mac or PC. Looking for fuller, richer sound from your computer? This works. Google for coupons and you can find 20% off that shows in the shopping cart.
