No, I'm not a Mac or Linux user, so I'm obviously covered.

I am Linux user, but I still 'side' with Rob here (perhaps because I kind of know what it looks like to make, release and support software products...)

I appreciate willingness of some people here to put in some effort and write MacEmptool themselves. I would also like to play with that on my Linux (perhaps making something to synchronize empeg and my local playlists or whatever). However, reasons Rob states for delaying sync code release are not mere excuses, and I would realy like people here to realize that. Further, when guys@empeg don't know when they will able to do something, they say so, instead of inventing a date to placate requester, as everybody else does. I have never encountered company as open with its clients as empeg (including, perhaps, even mine ), and would really not like to induce them to change.

I would also like to ask fellow board members to stop writing annoying 'I will reconsider my options' in, so to speak, 'threatening mode'. Of course we are considering our options all the time, whether we shout that or not.

All this said, I still do think that empeg would benefit from a bit of open sourcing, but it has been covered before; this is their product and their decission.

Cheers!
