eMedia version issues [Posted on 2007-05-07]
My copy of eMedia GuitarPro 5 turned out to be a demo only version. I tried to resolve this with Amazon and EMedia, but could not. eMedai declined to provide any assistance, referring me back to Amazon. A replacement copy had the same problem. I recommend against purchase.

demo only: a recurring problem? [Posted on 2007-08-24]
I also bought this in April and was sent a demo CD. I was pretty angry/disappointed, especially because I was so excited to finally get to use Guitar Pro on a Mac, but I figured that mistakes happen and sent it back to Amazon for an exchange. Then, A week later, I got the same demo CD! I sent everything back and got a full refund on my purchase.

So it's been a few months and I'm still interested in buying Guitar Pro--the software is that helpful. I'm just wondering if eMedia or Amazon have resolved the obviously prevalent quality control issue.

Love it ! [Posted on 2008-05-13]
This is super cool for learning guitar tabs.... there are web sites that have a lot of songs and you can see and hear the tab as well as different instruments in the tab..... really nice and fun to use.

Great! [Posted on 2008-07-19]
this program is great and easy to use and good for either composing or for learning songs. almost any song you want is available tabbed out and free for download online. the CD i got didnt install right and threw errors, but you can download it using the product key that comes with the CD.

a must have for guitar enthusiasts but far from perfect [Posted on 2008-09-01]
I have had both the Windows version and the Mac version of this program and have found a few bugs in both: the Windows version has a more logical user interface but crashed OFTEN (1/4 of the time) ; the Mac version seems to be more stable (probably more a testament to the OS than anything) but has its bugs too - e.g., digital tuner is flaky (can only get the 'needle' to show up 1/2 the time).

I sent an email to eMedia support 3 weeks ago about the bug, still no word.
