Oh boy, the memories. The discussion that brought me into the forum. But yeah it's true, you can develop it through that program but don't think your gonna get it without work. Once you get it, he tells you it can take up to a year to develop it and that's doing it 15-30 minutes a day.
You guys got the wrong idea on perfect, it doesn't make you perfect. Perfect pitch is just a name of a skill where you can name any pitch at will. Earmaster doesn't train you to a level of perfect pitch, or better "absolute pitch".
If you want it, you don't have to buy burge's course. Go to http://www.Prolobe.com, there you can train for perfect pitch. It doesn't cost a dime either.

So I´m a bit confused now. What is missing in Ear Master that it doesn't train you to a level of perfect pitch? And what is better on the site you recommend?
By the way, how much time a day should I spend on Ear Training? I do about 30 minutes a day, but nevertheless it develops VERY slowly, but I think this is common(isn´t it?) and continue practicing.

It might do the trick, slow or fast, but none the less it's not what it's crocked up to be. That's where the risk comes in, you buy it and you might get screwed or it might just be the same as everything else. I wouldn't buy it myself, but that's just me. It's a bit too infomercial for me.

So if I wanna do perfect pitch with one of these things, Prolobe is the best one?
I've been working on relative pitch for awhile but I really wanna know if these things do work. (low cost preferably)

Earmaster covers only the last in interval identification, where it plays 2 notes. Tells you the first, then questions you on the interval of the second note. That's not perfect pitch, it's relative pitch.

30 minutes a day sounds good. The ear only learns so much at one time. It's extremely fragile and if you push it too hard you'll just ruin it rather than improve it. I'd say try to do a level on each exercise a day.
So if I do the interval exercises without the first note help(I actually did this with all exercises I´ve done till now) I can also develop perfect pitch with Earmaster, right?

One Question how to do the exercises: Interval Identification: Does it matter if guess it´s a major 3rd but it is a major 4th, and I correct my guess before I really give my answer, which is possible in EarMaster, or should I know it the first time?
And my last question: If I want to train also perfect pitch with Ear Tune( I haven´t found that one yet) is it Ok if I just add 10 minutes to my EarMaster exercises?

hmmmmmm.. correct me if i´m wrong.. but everyone i know always kept telling me, that this perfect pitch thing is a gift of birth and that it cannot be learned. those peeps can even tell the pitch of a car-door slammed shut.
afaik those peeps do see colors in their head when they concentrate on a sound. and from those colors they tell the pitch - sortof like "dark red is f#"...... i know about beeing able to develop your ear to a good relative pitch... but to perfect pitch?.. hmmmmmmmmmmmsss i´m not sure.
