"It does the job, but has a few quirks"
Version: SuperSync 4.1
Pros
It does what it says it does, namely synchronising two iTunes libraries. Kick it off, and some time later (about an hour for a couple of thousand files on an 802.11n network), you till have a synchronised music collection.
Cons
First of all, the interface is dull and looks like something created 10 years ago. If you're a MacOS or Windows 7 user, you're probably used to better interfaces than this one.
Secondly, if you're not careful, you can find files deleted from one library being recopied from the other one. Do regular syncs and this is less of a problem.
Third, sometimes it just chokes and dies on you. That's not catastrophic, but it's annoying if you've gone to bed, leaving it to synchronise a few thousand files and found it choked about 20 seconds after you closed your eyes. Of course, kicking it off again carries on the synchronisation.
Finally, it takes a lot more resources than copying files across the network would normally do. Both my MacBook Pro and my Media Center slow down noticeably when synchronising (hence trying to do it over night).Summary
It's not pretty and it has a few annoying quirks, but I can't find anything better out there. I keep hoping the next version will be prettier and more intelligent, but so far I've been disappointed.
That said, it does work. It's not the neat, tidy experience we're getting more and more used to in the Apple-centric part of the IT world, but when you pay your money for this product, you do get what they promise. It's just that you may get a few more grey hairs from the process! -
"great features, rotten corporate grab-'em mentality!"
Version: SuperSync 4.1
Pros
see summary below in "Con" section!
Cons
Tried the demo version -- it took the better part of the day to rebuild a library ... I thought, nice piece of software .... but the clanger came at the end of it all ... when it informed me that what I was attempting to do was not possible in a demo version!
Thanks for wasting most of my day!! Sounds like a typical US product! ... e.g. Skype ... wonderful features ... but when you do something like recharge, it FORCES future auto-recharges, and gives you misleading emails thanking you for turning on the auto-recharge option, when nothing is further from the truth!
This cutting-edge, cutting-throat mentality is old world thinking! Great product here, too, but shabby approach to dealing with customers!
