Price Differences from 2 different sites

It would appear that i-doser.com sells the MP3 Hand of God for $200 while
www.i-doser.com sells these hundred dollar tracks in packs for only $16 dollars (4 in each pack). Anyone know what the deal with this is?

I've been wondering about this too...

Named the same, completely differently designed sequences. The mobile/mp3 version is not the same as the .drg version. We deemed the .drg version more of a developer concept and priced out of range for normal consumers because of the intensity. The mobile/mp3/cd versions are the more mainstream consumer versions.

Thank you for the prompt response but I have some other concerns as well (if you'd be so willing to explain)~
1) This is were I can purchase the .drg files:
http://www.i-doser.com/storev3/index.ph ... x&cPath=83?
and this is were I can purchase the "consumer" versions:
http://sites.fastspring.com/idoser/product/mp3?
2) What exactly is the difference between a .drg file and an .mp3? If it's audio quality I'm not sure how at all that would work because a .wav, .mp3, and .m4a file extensions all give the same range of audio quality and the differences between the 3 would be negligible. Is the only important factor of a .drg file the ability to play off the downloadable I-Doser software (for mac and windows)? Please help me understand what makes the .drg files so unique.
3) Also, the I-Doser software doesn't seem to be able to download on my mac. The stage the download gets stuck at would be "Running I-Doser Free Installer script." I'm running a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.5.8. Is there anything I can do to make this program actually download?
4) If I buy a dose, say a $200 one, would I be able to play it as many times as I want threw the Mac software or would I have to purchase a new copy every time I listen to it. I've been reading rumors about some sort of one time use thing and I do not want to waste my money on repeatedly playing a $200 track... That seems like a massive waste of money.

The .drg files contain only the binaural tones and the carrier sound (white noise). The CDs, MP3s, and Mobile apps include ambient background music in addition, and are typically shorter. Which you prefer, and which works best for you, is something you need to experiment with. Results vary. The .drg files tend to be longer and more complex sequences.

No idea. No other reports of this error. Try creating a new admin account and installing under that.

Purchases can be used as many times as you want. They are NOT one time use.

Thanks for clearing that up!
