SRS iWOW Premium

Awesome… and still can get it to work… with some fandangoing.

If like me the recent iTunes update only left your eyes for crying, try this semi-satisfying solution:

- Quit iTunes
- Find the iWow.plugin in Library/Audio/Plug-ins/HAL and trash it (authentication ensue)
- Put it again at the exact same place
- Launch iTunes. Voilà

Here's the catch: you'll have to do it each time you quit iTunes, so make a shortcut or a script. Worked for me with iWow.plugin 3.2 from July 2011 — iTunes 12.5.3.17 — MacOS Sierra.

Been using iWow since 2011...latest version of iTunes (12.5.1.21) finally killed it : ( OS 10.9.5. Have Boom 2 but can't use it need 10.10 or later. Any suggestions for a replacement?

The current version is v3.3.1. It STILL works on the current beta of OS X 10.11 El Capitan! Be sure to do a clean install of the app/plug-in then register. Excellent.

Hasn't worked properly since downloading. Inconsistent sound levels, Sound that won't come out of the speakers I designate, sometimes no sound at all and it takes over my prefs so I can't change anything. Stay away!

Now with Maverick this plugin is just DEAD. Is there a good replacement as this used to g=be just GREAT!!!!

DO NOT BUY! They limit the number of times you are allowed to re-install it. After having to perform a fresh system install and entering my serial number, I get the message. "Maximum number of activations exceeded."

Apparently, they now sell what's called "Audio Essentials," which appears to be a system-wide approach using an application that installs into the Applications folder. The problem is that the "demo" does not allow you to tinker with any of the settings. So, I have no way to know how this thing might actually sound. What's the point of that, exactly?

The software works well, but the support is terrible!!! I dont recommend it.

Has this been killed off. Can't find it on the SRS site at all.

working great!!!!!! i can listen the diference!

SRS iWOW is one of the best things I've ever had on my Mac, after a quick and super easy installation it really improves the sound quality to a level that your ears won't believe. Support is also top notch (though I needed their help only once as it's rock solid) ! I tried some other sound improvement software (like Hear) and must say that I reverted to SRS iWOW after just a few minutes. First, others do not support external audio hardware like my beloved Creative X-FI (sound christalyser). Second, others aren't as straightforward, too many settings may confuse even experienced users. And, like me, you may well experience problems with other software that use audio (Skype etc...) Bottom line : The few extra bucks you'll pay for SRS iWOW over Hear are well worth it ! As far as I'm concerned I highly recommend iWow, all my audiophiles friends say the same !

At one time I thought that iWow was the best thing for audio refinement. But, it was limited to just iTunes. It did make the sound some what better through my desktop speakers but it just lacked the oomph that the sound needed. Then I came across a program called Hear made by Prosoft, makers of Drive Genius and decided to see if it would make a actual difference and to my shock my desk to speakers were sounding like high priced speakers and I was totally blown away. Not only was it tuned for iTunes but anything else that used audio and it could be totally customized to your taste. One day a friend came over while I was playing my iTunes and asked how I was getting that type of sound out of my speakers? I told him about hear and showed him the inter face and turned it on and off to show the difference. It was totally like night and day. As soon as I turned it of my sound went flat. Now just to let you know these were creative speakers that cost me $100. Now I have my Mac playing through my entertainment system and still use Hear 1.0.5. iWow, you were great tool prior to Hear but Hear blows you and any other sound enhancing tools out of the water. Hear even tell the user ti disable any sound utility you may be using before implementing Hear so you do not create a conflict. This is a combo review and comment comparing what was when and what is now. Hear is the technology of the future for sound on the Mac. It has a ton of presets for all sorts of categories just to get started and once you go over the manual you will learn how to tweak the setting or create your own. If iWow is to survive, it is going to need some major work if it expects to compete against Hear. It is a pity That Mr M. the editor at About this Particular Mac (atpm.com) will not let me join and bring life back to what is now a newsletter. End of Line...

It now works in 64 bit iTunes in Lion. Which is more than I can say for some other iTunes add-ons, like G-Force.

It's a shame that a software developer isn't capable of updating his software so that paid customers can enjoy it without hassel or worarounds. It, also a shame that they sill selling it while it isn't working. No more SRS software for me..... Use the itunes equalizer can do the job as well!

@Dempson Thanks! iWOW 3.2 works for me in Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4 too. Haven't transitioned to Lion... yet

Version 3.2 is available, via check for update in iWOW. I haven't tried it on Lion, but it works on Snow Leopard with iTunes 10.4.

iWOW 3.2 is out. You can download it here: http://downloads.srs-store.com/SRSiWOWMAC.dmg itunes 10.4 initially broke iWOW. 3.2 works fine on iTunes 10.4 on Snow Leopard. Haven't tried it on Lion.

open itunes in 32 bit mode and it works fine

Any chance we can get an updated version for Lion ? TIA ;)
