Drag-n-drop has been very effective on the Windows version, since it 
creates an easier interface, since it's a two-way type of paradigm. We read 
AND write to proprietary disks, so the ease of use of dragging (selecting 
what you what to translate) and dropping (selecting WHERE you want to put 
it) is very easy.

We've skipped that so far in Translator Mac, but as soon as the proprietary 
conversions come on like this will be implemented.

On the interface, we actually put the instruction "Double-click on an 
object to translate..." visible at all times.

We are pretty maniac about letting people know they can contact us, even 
toll-free if you are in the States. We e-mail back within 24 hours, etc. 
etc. Contact us - we can solve your issue.

The program, under testing, has been very stable here. We have over 100-200 
CD's that we use for testing. It's impossible to try them all, but what we 
do is at all times when we are working in the office, there are test 
computers that simply are converting CD's in bulk. We do this so we know if 
an error comes up. We are at a point
where about 150 of the CD's have been verified twice, and the other ones 
once. We do this regressively often, so we always are checking.

What the person said above about memory is accurate. We don't usually see 
people translating while running multi-session's with 256 tracks going in 
Logic, nor do we see people that run EXS having only 32mb of memory inside 
their machine, so memory is not really a concern - simply give it the 
overhead it may need. Update to the latest version which is better at 
running leaner.

We are going to implement multiple selections and drag and drop, of course.
