• Still useless

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />As others have said, it's still missing GSM. It's been years now, why haven't they implemented it? GSM 6.10 is open source, so it's not a licensing or copyrighted issue with Macs.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This release is more of the same useless garbage we had with the prototypes. No GSM = Useless. If it is at all possible Use teamspeex. I know its also speex codec, but thats what most teamspeak servers use anyway. I am fortunate my guild does not use this but uses teampeak. However this is typical of companies like AOL and MixMan who release a half hearted product then sit back scratching their heads wondering why mac users dont flock to their door. If you read their forums they excuse the lack of gsm in many ways and tell mac users to talk their guild leaders in to switching. Why don't they just stop offering GSM to windows users and see what the response is. Thanks vent, you've set my loyalty to TeamSpeak in stone.

• Disappointing.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This program disappoints me for a couple of different very annoying reasons. The first is that it doesn't support the codec that most Ventrilo servers use. So it's worthless unless you find someone willing to switch to Speex codec. Once you are on a server that works, the second problem is that the program CONSTANTLY loses the settings. Every other time I launch it, I have to redo the preferences from "default" to select my USB headset. Bottom line is to use Teamspeex until the Ventrilo people fix these glaring issues.
