Perhaps, but it's your job as software engineers to elicit good requirements from the customer and steer them away from bad ones. In any case, is there any chance we could open source the finalized design requirements? I am curious how many of my points are specifically mentioned. (Something tells me that HDtracks did not specify the "Show Download" button's quirky behavior.)

The HDtracks downloader has been working pretty well in recent versions - at least as far as the essential functionality of, you know, downloading the music.  So that's good.

My primary complaint is that the application insists on being on top of everything else, which becomes more and more intensely annoying the longer one uses it.

I just updated to 18.0.165 (is that the latest version?) to see if this is still the case, and that always-on-top behavior doesn't seem to have been fixed yet.

I think I can maybe find a workable approach using Mac OS's "Spaces" virtual-screen facility - try to lock the Download Manager in its own virtual desktop so it isn't in the way - but that sort of workaround shouldn't be necessary, don't you agree?

Thanks...

I also dislike some of the apps look and feel. If JRiver wrote it for HDTracks, then maybe HDTracks would allow JRiver to also write a version that runs as a MC plug in? That could be more convenient, easier to use the first time, and would avoid the always on top and other annoyances.

I realize that MC users are generally more sophisticated, or they would a use simple program. This may seem like a minor, little used thing, but the comment about iTunes being easy should carry some weight.

I downloaded HDtracks Download Manager 200031 for mac and it crashes immediately after opening.  How do I go about fixing this so i can use the program?
