I think the comments about CF were geared to the 1 or 2 people that were acting like a walking talking CF advertisement. Gets really old when we are more interested in function and where our glorious leaders are. I couldn't care less that so and so used to be a SD user and they found god or some crap like that. SD works best for my applications.....period. And no, that isn't going to change until CF does some SERIOUS remodeling, which also isn't going to happen. And no, I don't need SD support for anything else or anymore updates. If they come, great, but I can survive just where I am.

In other words, the CF comment was in no way shape or form geared toward you.

We are reading your posts daily. I know you are all waiting for details about what is going on. Please don’t think you are being ignored, we are reading your every word. However, we are currently not at liberty to discuss what is happening.

FO, that was okay the first time we heard it, and with the promise that there would be some clarification within a weeks time frame.

Three weeks later, with no clarification, that answer just doesn't cut it anymore. Unfortunately, we are mostly powerless, as most of us bought SD long enough ago that a credit card dispute is pointless, but the one thing we can do, and I assure you that I am doing it, is try to convince potential SD purchasers to look somewhere else.

oddvarr · 04-22-2008, 05:59 PM

I am not sure if I am angry with SD/MP3car or just curious on wtf is going on.
I really do like SD regarding the software that is. Regarding the customer relations or to be more accurate, the lack of so. It really sukc.
I figure something is happening.
I guess we all do. My point isthat as we are waiting we are not recommending others buying SD, but to go somewhere else.
As long as we get theese answers, that really are no answers. Then rumours start. It has been like this for a bit to long now.
I guess the MP3car-staff are not stupid. I dont think SD-staff are either, if there are some staff that is.
I think they know this. And still they keep posting such BS-answers.

Well keep it up and soon enough there will not be many customers around.
There are other places where one can buy and discuss.

Grrrrrrrrr! Wow, what smack with a D*CK straight on our forehead! I feel like i paid money for virgin whoooore, she loves the money, but she cant make a decision - "I like you, but i cant yet... soon, soon i promise!" While my anger and impatience keeps growing! If your reading every word then answer me, will i get it? At least eventually....? Please, just a yes/no answer before I blow up! I'll stay loyal, i promise! You do look better than your competition, but I'll only wait for so long... And if I leave then I'm not falling for it again in the future!

sciontC · 04-22-2008, 06:28 PM

I agree with Daniel here.

I think you all are getting arried away with wanting an update to the point that you all are getting so frustrated and going with other options out there. SD works fine as is, could it use some updates?? yes but the software is very usable and stable.

I dunno, I could really see the gripes as being more valid if the software was unfunctional and or unusable but it works great. I only went CF for some options that I was after and was tired of waiting on users to finish thier digi mods that had been in development for so long.

I think everyone needs to sit back for a bit and relax, FO just stated that SOMETHING is going on (as if we didnt know that) wheather its good or bad i dunno but time will have to tell on that one.

Im going to go hide so i dont get hit by flying poo

FO I am sorry but that is pure BS. Even if SD is being sold and there is a NDA the least you can do is say that is the case and why. We aren't strangers here we are paying customers, customers that paid for SD it's not like we are running freeware here. It makes me sick that the only post by the MP3car/SD team is "we will announce something this week" and then follow it up with "we are currently not at liberty to discuss what is happening". Are you guys kidding me? What a way to leave us out in the dust, What would you guys have done if we paid you guys in the same manor you provided our information? Thanks.

CAN YOU AT LEAST TELL US WHY YOUR NO LONGER OFFERING SUPPORT???????

Sorry to be so loud, but I think that's our main concern here. It's great that you hear us, but how bout an answer to that simple question? After trying the other products, streetdeck is it for me. But I don't like the fact that I have bought unsupported software should problems arise.

danielkh · 04-22-2008, 06:38 PM

Well, I jumped on the rabid dog CF 2.0 train and wasn't severely disappointed because they do have good people. But the software just doesn't work for me. Sounds great, but like I have said before, I'm just an ole deaf veteran (that isn't a joke....I really don't have a middle ear in my left ear) so the better sound is really lost on me. I'm still a visual OEM man and SD is just all there is commercially to get.

Sooooooo......

FO, tell chuck to pull his head out of his rectum, get back here under his USUAL name. He doesn't have to say a word, but he better be here keeping up with problems and we need to SEE him back here checking on problems.

Chuck, dude, you make great software, believe me, but you aren't the god of all things computer related. Get off your high horse and let people see you are still around. Ok? Yeah....here....pat on the back.....good man.......now get back into reality and finish the job you started.

And for the rest of you......try CF, please, by all means (better do a restore point first). If you like it and think it's great, wonderful! I really am trully happy for you, but there is this place.....it's called fluxmedia.net....and they have a BBS. WHOA! Imagine that!! Go create a name and talk to all the other great wonderful nice people that ALSO switched and carry on a conversation with people that ACTUALLY CARE! I still can't get Streetdeck back running the way it's supposed to. No more field testing for me.

Coming here and touting how great CF is does about as much good as a Mormon knocking on your door. Any of you turn Mormon from it?? Didn't think so.

David and them are truly wonderful, smart, bright people and I have more respect for them than you can ever know, but they just don't make a product I can use right now. I AM GOING TO STICK WITH THE SINKING SHIP! If you really think you need to come here and remind me of that fact, please, PLEASE, go get a life instead. And I really don't care if me and Caelric are the only 2 posting here. Our cars are similar, we have things to talk about.

And finally.....FO/GOC......if you think this is me jumping back into the midst with you and defend you to the death once more, think again. I have said it before. My loyalty is with Streetdeck. Not Mp3car and not the people that run it or program it. I may love my wife, but I don't have to love the people that created her. So I will be holding you accountable and if I think you are being a dick, I will tell you (and everyone else).

If you can't say anything, don't. It really is better that way. Let us see you, thats enough for now.

Actually, this time......you are 100% correct.

Now come fix my software back to the way it was......(that's the last time I listen to people that never checked to see if they could go back)

h3rk · 04-22-2008, 06:44 PM

How frustrating.

I'd probably be in a different position if I actually owned streedeck, but I ended up being a RR fan. I like the software, I just wanted more control over things.

Fiberoptic, you've really got to be in a bad position if that is all you can say. I hope things end up working out well for you guys. The growing dissent has got to not feel good, and it says a lot for you to allow this kind of free speech on the subject to go on in here. It's the right thing to do, but many companys would squash it regardless.

The way I see it, if this is all ultimately a good thing, then SD fans will recover. Hell people still watch baseball and hockey, right? And sometimes, to negotiate your way into a positive agreement, as a small business, you can end up in sticky situtations. If this is a "bad" thing, then I'm sure there will be some compassion for it, pending any details are ever revealed.

You get the point, we know that, customers are unhappy

, I just hope things work out, because, for this community, if mp3car does well, our hobby will benefit.

Best wishes.

I'm such a kiss-arse...
It's so hard not to keep tabs on this cliffhanger, isn't it?

The problem is mob mentality. I was VERY happy with Streetdeck in it's current form. I was excited about possibly going major market (I still am), but see what happens when you let a few of them thar johosaphat witnesses in the door?

h3rk · 04-22-2008, 07:19 PM

Maybe just try to understand, many of them are just trying to be helpful. Personally, I think CF is NEATO!!
I just wouldn't take that part so personally. Just take what you want and leave the rest. People spent their own personal time trying to explain different parts of the software and how it may possibly suit your needs. You tried it you didn't like it... cool. DFX3.0/RR (My fav) is up there as well, but you like SD and that's ok. I just hope you're not stuck liking software that got cancelled in it's second season. Those shows don't even get their re-runs played very often.
Only waiting will tell. I hope SD survives and meets it's potential. It's got a lot of it.

back to lurking for me
