FUZZYJON79  I am now getting an error when trying to log into the account I maintain with spyderx. The error says "Login failed. Either a server error occurred, the login or password is incorrect, or the account does not exist. Try again?"

When I actually logged into the real myspace, I saw that my account had been blocked, likely due to the spydex activity, but I entered a captcha and unblocked it. This happened several times. Could this be the problem? Has MySpace somehow shut me down from using spyderx?

I tried to log into my personal account and even a third account that I maintain and I got the same error, even though I did not maintain these particular accounts with spyderx. Have they just shut down this software completely?

Any ideas?

NEAN  The features are great, but massive resource problems in general.

eg.: on syncing, auto import/refreshing users and on database operations, and lot of crashes.

CPU load is disastrous, no other app is cripple down my G5 that much!

Since the last update I can see a performance improvement on sending friend requests.

I hope this issues will be fixed soon, otherwise I need to lookout for other possibilities to handle my myspace account.

MOONMAN272_GMAIL.COM  So the consensus is that this App is horrible in its current incarnation.

Soooo.. what alternatives do people recommend for MySpace Management Apps on the mac?  
(Version 2.0.35)

TIM27  Looks like it's gone from $35 to $40. Good luck again! Even if you have huge numbers of friends, after trying this out, I've concluded that it isn't going to save you that much time compared to doing it on the site itself - for free.  
(Version 2.0.21)

NICOLASD  For what this program is designed for... adding and managing large numbers of myspace users, it's really the only Mac native solution.

I have a premium license with free lifetime upgrades. Version 2.0 is worth looking at if you have only used 1.4.x. There are a lot more features and the program is MUCH faster and efficient.

The developer has been amazingly helpful and responsive whenever I've had problems, sometimes releasing an update addressing my issue mere hours after contacting him.

The program has been and continues to be too crashy, but some of that, he tells me has to do with Apple's Core Data framework and how it scales when dealing with hundreds of thousands of records (Myspace users)

2.0.9 is vastly more stable and improved over the initial 2.0 release.

So to sum up, the program can be frustratingly unstable, but it's improving, it's a Mac native solution, and the developer is super helpful and responsive.

MRPICKLES  Sadly, the app doesn't do what it's designed to do-- add friends. I had no problem with the older version and I thought this would be a worthy upgrade since it was so clunky before only to find out it doesn't work at all. bumma!

LEOOFBORG  I'm a registered user of SpyderX 1.4. I have to say that initially, given all the MySpace spam it seemed like a good idea at the time. But over time I found that version 1 was very clunky: slow to fetch data even on a 6M/s DSL connection, and about as complex as using MySpace just from the web page.

I basically gave up on SpyderX.

For my needs I now run FLOCK, the web browser. The UI is a lot more simple [friends sidebar] and you can do everything necessary from a SIDEBAR. And not only with MySpace [read on].

So if you add Glimmerblocker [to filter ads] + AdBlock Plus [to get the insidious stuff] to Flock you pretty much have an effective social network wrangler that does not only MySpace, but Facebook, Flickr, and a bunch of other services.

Maybe the author has done some improvements, maybe he's more accessable to his users [this time], maybe... well, for me, as far as version 2 goes, unless it's a free upgrade for me.. I think maybe [based on previous experience with the app, keychain bugs, etc] it's a pass this time.

STORMCHILD  35 bucks? Ha. Good luck.

DIGITAL.PARDOE  For all the people who can't find and email. I managed to find one hidden in the website: help@spyderx.com.  
(Version 1.4.33)

RICHARDWBOASE@AOL.COM  I'm annoyed because my computer died and I had to reinstall everything from a backup, Spyder doesn't work with the registration number I bought, and there doesn't seem to be a contact email address where I can get in touch with them about this issue... which obviously is why I'm writing here.

I'm with the others on this one, Please provide an email contact address.

Thanks

p.s. Please help me out by emailing me! Thanks
