Anyone have any experience with any that work. All I read are horror stories and flaky performance with the ones out there.

Even a 4-port USB 2.0 hub from Belkin I have did not work. Would not see the Apple USB SuperDrive. Going on a trip 3rd week of December and no way can I get by with just two USB ports. (My music software alone requires two dedicated USB copy protection dongles)

Thanks in advance.

I have the perfect solution, download all of your music without DRM like I have been doing since 1999. They're called "mp3." Then you can use whatever player you want, on any OS, copy them freely to multiple devices and not have to worry about USB dongles.

Lloyd
LOL!

Justin, I don't think he's talking about software quite that simplistic. Look up Avid ProTools sometime.

I'm not sure if he is using that particular one.

Justin
OK... just checked up on it. There's a crack out there that allows it to run without the dumbass dongle. Since he already paid for the software it is his right to be able to use it.

Lloyd
No it isn't. Owning a legal copy gives you no rights to a cracked version.

Justin
If he paid for the software he paid for the right to use it. Do you agree?

If he can't get it working and the manufacturer is unresponsive - crack it. If he doesn't it would be like burning money. For now he has to contact Avid and raise a shitstorm.
