== Updates ==
== Updates ==
If the automagical updater that is built into kJams fails for some reason, just go download the latest version ([[Downloads#Downloads|see below]] on this page) and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before).  Even tho the version number shown on this page does NOT include the [[Development_Stages|"r" designation]], it will always, in fact, link to the very latest "r" build.
If the automagical updater that is built into kJams fails for some reason (or you're crashing during the update or on startup), it's probably due to a newly introduced bug, which is probably now FIXED in the current version.  So just go download the latest version (see above right or find the one you want [{{SERVER}}/product_downloads/ on this page)], and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before).  Hopefully from then on the auto-updater will work again.
 
Up'''dates''' to kJams are always free, and they happen frequently.  Up'''grading''' from 1.0 to 2.0 is a [[KJams_2|paid upgrade]].


Updates to kJams are always free, and they happen frequently.  Perhaps one day if I ever get to version 2.0, that will be a [[How_long_until_I_have_to_pay_again|paid upgrade]].
If there's a brand new release, and you update to it, and it crashes on startup, believe me I already know about it and am working to fix it as you read this.  (However, please tell me anyway, the more people that report it, the faster I work).  Meanwhile, you can easily [[Downgrade]] to the previous version.  When you run the downgraded version, do NOT update until there's an even '''newer''' version available, which should happen very shortly.
== kJams 2 Open Development ==
[[KJams_2|kJams 2 development]] builds have been opened up for public purchase. Yes, you'd be buying into early access to software still in development, which means it may be buggy, and will have features missing.  Please see [[KJams_2|the kJams 2 page]] for info about what is working and what is not.

If there's a brand new release, and you update to it, and it crashes on startup, believe me I already know about it and am working to fix it as you read this.  (However, please tell me anyway, the more people that report it, the faster I work).  Meanwhile, you can easily downgrade to the previous version.  Just go to the [[Version History]] page and click on the "not released yet" link, scroll to the bottom, find the version that you HAVE, then scroll up a bit and find the previous version, and manually download and install that.  Then when you run it, do NOT update until there's an even newer version available, which should happen very shortly.
== [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware ShareWare] ==
You don't have to buy it to try it out, it's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware ShareWare]!  Just go download it (see below).  Note that unlike typical ShareWare, I provide FULL tech support and all updates are free.  The ShareWare is limited by functionality, not by time, so there is no "expiration".  See below for the [[Tryout_Limitations|Limitations]].


== Purchasing ==
== Purchasing ==
First, see the [[Refund Policy]]<br>
For instructions on how to purchase, see the section on [{{SERVER}}/purchase/ Purchasing].


'''It's Shareware''':
== Disclaimer ==
That means it's completely free to download and use!  In fact I highly recommend you try it out before buying, to make sure you can [[Ripping|rip]] using your CD drive, '''NOT ALL DRIVES ARE [[FAQ#What_drives_are_supported.3F|COMPATIBLE]]''' (The unregistered version has some limitations, [[Downloads#Limitations|see below]])
Keep in mind that kJams 1.0.1 is currently "Beta". ([[Development Stages|click here]] for an explanation) That means I'm still ironing some bugs out, but it's definitely solid enough to run your shows and parties.
 
* kJams Lite: $40 ([[kJams|More Info]]) For home use '''only'''!
* kJams Pro: $110 ([[kJams Pro|More Info]]) For public performance & Professionals, and the serious fanatic.
* Burning Plugin: $40 ([[Burning|More Info]]) Works with Lite or Pro!
* Producer Plugin: $70 ([[Producer|More Info]]) Works with Lite or Pro!


'''To purchase kJams''': Download the one you want and run it, then go to the Help menu, pick "Purchase..." There is also an upgrade path from Lite to Pro, the cost is exactly the difference between the two.
kJams 2.0 is in [[Development Stages|"Development"]]. You have been warned.


'''To purchase the plugins''': Download the one you want install it, then run kJams and go to Preferences and look for it's preference panel, and select it. Now you can click the "Purchase" button.  If you're going to buy the Burning plugin, first do a burn test with just a couple songs to make sure it works for you.  When you have verified that it works, THEN buy it.

pacific time, and e-mail tech support is available usually within 1 business hour.
 
== Disclaimer ==
Keep in mind this is DEVELOPMENT software, NOT "Release", not "Beta", not even "Alpha", but one stage BEFORE that. ([[Development Stages|click here]] for an explanation) That means there ARE bugs (ie: you will likely experience "Asserts" and even crashes), and there ARE performance problems (ie: some kinds of MP3's don't play, some zip files won't unzip), and not all features are even present! You have been warned.


== Limitations ==
== Limitations ==
The Unregistered version is limited in these ways:
There are some minor [[Tryout Limitations]].
 
Lite:
* Can't export to QuickTime more than 10 songs
* Can't add more than 3 songs to a any playlist (except for your library)
* Can't rip more than the first 3 songs from a disc
 
Pro:
* Same as lite but:
* Can't add more than 3 singers
* Can't add more than 2 singers to the rotation
* Can't add more than 2 songs to a singer's "Tonight" playlist
 
Burning Plugin:
* Can't burn more than 2 songs on a disc
 
Producer Plugin:
* Your songs will have red X's in the lyrics.
 
There are '''no other limitations'''.  If something goes wrong in the tryout version, do NOT assume that making the purchase will "fix" it or otherwise make it work, it is either a bug or a misunderstanding.  The code is *exactly* the same for the Tryout and the Licensed version, there is no different download.  Just download and run, it's up to you if you want to register it.


== Requirements ==
== Requirements ==
* To rip and/or burn, you'll need a [[Compatible_Drives|compatible drive]].
[[System Requirements]] are listed here.
* For '''kJams''': Any Mac running OS X 10.3.9 or better (even Leopard) and QuickTime 7.1 or better.
* For '''Burning''': Any Mac running OS X 10.4 or better (even Leopard), and you '''may''' need [http://www.patchburn.de/ PatchBurn].
* For the '''Producer''' plugin, same requiremenst as for '''kJams'''
* An internet connection (at least temporarily) to the machine on which you plan to purchase and activate a license.
* Lots of hard drive space (give it at least a Gig, if not tens of gigs)
* Currently you need about 800MHz or better, but my target is 500MHz
 
<strike>If you have AltiVec then any processor speed will do.</strike> AltiVec has been disabled due to a bug causing warble in the audio.  Eventually I plan to fix this, tho with the transition to Intel this may be a moot point.  (We already have working SSE2 code)

So just go download the latest version (see above right or find the one you want on this page), and install it manually (replacing the one that was there before). Hopefully from then on the auto-updater will work again.
