Scored 1x dunk-on-apple points for this feature: U2's latest album automatically added to your library

I've used it an age ago. Don't bother. The software wasn't terribly sophisticated. The library support was OK at best. And the only thing it really does is make ordering a little easier. It's only slightly more work to use a FOSS tool and generate output which can go to and board house.


Expect some kind of power analysis. I'm guessing key extraction of some kind.


As a professional electronics design engineer, this is potentially a hugely valuable service. A big chunk of time is, as @jwr states, spent creating CAD representations of real parts. Other professional library services exist, but they are very expensive. Well done.

His point is that he doesn't want to pay for distribution. He's more than happy to support artists directly.


Just a suggestion. You could try installing something called "netbalancer" by seriousbit (http://seriousbit.com/netbalancer/ assuming you're on windows). It allows you to throttle network usage per program.


Anything similar for OSX?
