Dane,
Would it be at all possible for you to make an audio demo of how the app
works for you? Perhaps this might clear up any confusions myself or others
are having about how to use it.
Chris.

isworthwhile.
Interesting, I’ve been using Snowflake for a few days now and I don’t have
the problems you’ve mentioned with Voiceover and I certainly can bring up
the list.
I’m not doubting you either because someone else brought up the fact that
they were also having issues so I’ve no idea what’s going on.
For me? Well its been calm sailing I have to admit from the moment I
downloaded Snowflake onto the Mac up until now.

I hate to be the breaker of bad news, but after trying Snowflake for Mac
which was mentioned about a week ago by Dane here on list, I must say
that thus far, I am definitely not at all impressed. Please see my
reasons below. If anyone would like an audio demo of me illustrating
these facts either 1 for proof, or 2, just so you can hear it in action,
just let me know. I have no issue putting something together. I’ll be
in my studio all day, so it would be easy enough to do.
Anyway…
1. When I click the genres button with any of the known methods:
vo+space, vo+shift+space after rooting the mouse, hitting return, hitting
space bar, routing the mouse then literally clicking the trackpad, etc,
Voiceover goes completely busy and no matter what the heck I do, it won’t
become ready again unless I restart Voiceover with command+F5 to turn it
off, then again command+F5 to turn it back on. Even command+tabbing to
another application doesn’t work.
2. Finally when I *do!* manage to get Voiceover to start cooperating, I
notice that the search button, and the genre button are both gone. Now,
I have a button that says alternative. As you may or may not have
suspected, clicking it with any of the above mentioned methods does
literally absolutely nothing at all.
3. After clicking the genre button, and unhanging Voiceover, I find lots
of stations in the table which are related to alternative, but I see
absolutely no way to change the genre, say, from alternative to
Christian, or country, or oldies, or adult contemporary, etc.
4. When I search for a station by hitting the search button if needed,
then going to the edit box, typing my key word search, then hitting
return, nothing at all shows up in the table. I’ve tried looking for
wrcm 91.9 in Charlotte NC, I’ve tried looking for WLYT 102.9 in Charlotte
NC, WLNK 107.9 in Charlotte NC, WSOC 103.7 in Charlotte NC, WKKT 96.9 the
Kat in Charlotte NC, WBT 1110 in Charlotte NC, KTAR in Phoenix AZ, KOA
810 in Denver CO, WSM in Nashville TN, and have found none of these,
which I find incredibly surprising for an app which apparently clames to
have over twenty thousand stations in its database. I’ll admit that I
haven’t paid for the pro version, which may wind up including more
stations in its database library, however I see no reference on their web
site to this one way or another. It looks like all I gain from the pro
version is the ability to output my audio to multiple sound devices, and
the ability to access the equalizer, which by the way, I don’t know
either way if that is accessible or not.
So yeah… it sounds to me like there are hardly any stations in this app
which I can find. Plus, I still don’t see a way to browse by location.
I therefore am not at this time going to be purchasing a license, that’s
for sure.
Now, I am extremely! willing to stand corrected on any of my notes above.
If there is something maybe I’m missing, then by all means! please please
let me know. I’m not seeing anything, but then again, I’m human. I’ve
been known a time or two to miss certain things, therefore I don’t clame
to be correct in everything. There is that slight chance I’m missing
something, though I’m sceptical of this possibility, admittedly.
Before anyone asks, yes, I’m on the most up to date version, and yes, I
am indeed using Yosemite.
Chris.
