It will be because of the fact you have to upload an audio clip. Great program, works well, and sits in the background when you're not using it. Anthony

That is what jotti does. HTH

More... I installed this Audiggy thing but when I started it, it asked for an initial configuration of my audio card. But it didn't recognise mine at all so that was it. It also issued a message saying that my system doesn't support compression (whatever that is). I could go no further. Also, it doesn't say so on the website afaik but it needs .Net 2. It also created large numbers of registry entries during installaion. Anyway, I uninstalled it and cleaned the system out and I won't be installing it again. As I said in my first post, if the service really is genuine they should redesign it so that users upload an audio sample to their site for analysis, not use a piece of junk software which has to be installed locally and doesn't even work properly.
