There is absolutely no reason to be required in order to use something it has downloaded (which we've discussed above). Of the few things we are told that it does: There is absolutely no reason to have constant root access (it should only ask the user for root access if the user chooses to install the sounds, effects, etc. It's the lack of full disclosure to the user, in accordance with the open source licensing of MuseScore itself, that brings this all into question. If it matters, I'm running on Linux, so the situation may be different for Windows or MacOS users.Īs far as the danger of Muse Hub: Without documentation, and without open source code to look at, there is no way of fully knowing what this program is doing with (or to) your computer.

Maybe something else is wrong, but I can't find what it might be. When I uninstall Muse Hub, MuseScore reports that Muse Sounds is there, but it is "Inactive", and cannot be selected for use. OFF! This MUST change NOW! Do you really want to invite a lawsuit from this sort of behavior?!Īll I know is that with Muse Hub installed, MuseScore finds and uses Muse Sounds without any issues. I'm really ticked! One might even contend that you owe me money for the overuse of my Internet, my time, and my frustration, without my knowledge or permission! This is horrible business practice! If you give me access to Muse Sounds WITHOUT that crapware Muse Hub, I MIGHT be willing to forgive this horrendous misstep on your part. WHAT THE HELL kind of sleazy business has this once great piece of open source software been turned into?!?! Why the proprietary blob in order to access a feature?! This is crap. Unfortunately, my access to Muse Sounds has also completely disappeared, even though they are installed. After uninstalling it, my problems have disappeared completely.

I had Muse Hub, doing this without my knowledge or consent.

I thought I had some sort of virus, which nothing could detect. For a little while now, my computer has been spiking my CPU and hard drive for the first 15-20 minutes after startup, and my Internet provider has been saying I've been using a lot more data, and I've been going over my limit faster than usual and being charged for it.
