I really never tried MJ before, but I found it by accident via file-sharing. I downloaded it (the tag for it said merely "Media Jukebox 8") and checked it for viruses, and then ran the install.
It installed, but then it did something strange, and ran a second install which said it was patching the program.
When I finally ran the program, it was buggy- kept shutting down on me- and so I checked the registration info and it had blanks instead of entries.
Naturally, I don't trust something like this!!! I deleted it, and downloaded the one from the MJ website (which the buggy one at least linked me to). That one, obviously, runs better.
I just thought the powers that be would like to know that there's a messed-up hacked version out there. On the plus side, it lead me to FINDING this great program (I'm a long-time, fully-paid, registered Music Match Jukebox Owner, but this program's better!) and of course, on the negative side, I'm using various programs now to sweep through my computer and find out what sort of spyware or other crud that bogus version left on my hard drive.
I'm not a fan of piracy, but it really stinks when you think you've got the legitimate article and it turns out to be a copy, or worse, a trojan horse of some kind.
Keep on your toes, guys! And thanks for making MJ! As soon as I can figure out how to pay for it (I don't use credit/debit cards) I'll buy a full version- Though I don't know what to do with my MMJB...
Thanks!
