1. What are the System Requirements for running Music Man ?
|
This information is available
|
2. Why do I need Music Man if I have iTunes? Don't they do the same thing?
|
No. Music Man and iTunes are not the same.
Here is a list of the key differences:
- Music Man supports flash based music players (like Jumpdisk MP3, etc)
- Music Man converts to AM, FM, or CD quality, so you can fit more music on flash media, without modifying the original file on your computer
- Music Man converts from Stereo to Mono, so you can listen to music with one ear free, without modifying the original file on your computer
- Music Man supports Ogg Vorbis ripping and playback
- Music Man supports Unencrypted-WMA playback
- Music Man lets you add any folder (including iTunes Library) to your music library
- Music Man lets you play the music in any folder
- Music Man can burn a playlist to a CD an unlimited number of times
- Music Man can insert ID3v1 tags as it burns an MP3 CD for improved car MP3 player support (some car MP3 players do not support ID3v2 Tags)
Of course iTunes and Music Man have some things in common
- Both play rip and play MP3s
- Both burn MP3 CDs

6. When I run the program, it displays the "Registration" dialog. What's wrong?
|
You are trying to run the program without entering valid Registration Information.
- If you want to quit, click the "Quit" Button
- If you are trying to run the demo, click the "Run Demo" Button. For further information, refer to the Read Me in the documentation folder.
- If you want to purchase the product now, click "Buy Now".
- If you want to register the program, enter the Registration Information/Serial Number and click the "Register" Button. If you purchased online, the Registration Information is in the email we sent you. If you purchased a CD, the Registration Information is printed on the CD packaging. For further information about registering, refer to the Read Me in the documentation folder.
- If you have already bought a Registration key/Serial Number, have entered it and are getting this message, there is an error in the registration information you have entered. For further information, see the "When I try to register, the "Invalid Registration Information" message is displayed" question in this faq.
|
7. When I try to register, the "Invalid Registration Information" message is displayed. What's wrong?
|
There is an error in the registration information you entered. Please follow these steps:
- Verify that you entered the correct License Type. If you purchased online, check that the License Type you entered matches the one in the email you received from us. If you purchased from a retail outlet, use the License Type "Individual"
- Verify that you entered the correct Purchaser's ID/Email Address. If you purchased online, enter the Email address used when the product was purchased. If you purchased from a retail outlet, use the Purchasers ID that came with the product.
- Verify that you entered the Serial Number correctly. Check for the following common problems:
- typing the letter O or I instead of the number 0 or 1
- transposing 2 digits
- adding extra spaces before or after the Purchaser's ID or Serial Number
- entering the registration information more than once (click in the field and scroll with the arrow keys to see this)
- entering the registration information for the wrong product.
- If that didn't solve the problem, delete your preferences file and configure Music Man again. The preferences file's location is: "$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.mireth.musicman.plist"
- If that didn't solve the problem, send a copy of your preferences file to Product Support (support@mireth.com) so we can determine the nature of the problem. The preferences file's location is: "$HOME/Library/Preferences/com.mireth.musicman.plist"

8. I can't find a place to put the Registration Information. What's wrong?
|
|
The Registration Dialog Box will be displayed when you start the program, only if it is not registered. If the Dialog Box is not displayed, your copy is already registered. This may happen if:
- You are already a registered user and you have downloaded a free upgrade. Your old registration information is retained. You don't need to re-register.
- You used the "Buy Now" button when you purchased the product. The "Buy Now" button not only allows you to buy the software, it registers the software for you as well. Keep the Registration Informatio email we send you for your records, in case you ever have to re-install.
|
9. How do I know if I've successfully registered the product?
|
|
To verify whether the product is already registered, start it up. If the product is unregistered, the "Register" dialog will be displayed. If the product is registered, the "Register" dialog will not be displayed.
