Found this out today while I was surfing around looking for some audio-type apps. This is not much of a hint, other then to tell those who may not know that Panic's Audion 3 is now free! I was shocked! Download a copy and then grab the serial number provided by the authors. Prior to this, Audion 3 cost money and the free version was limited to 15 minutes of play! Who says nothing is free!!??
For those who may not know, Audion 3 is a single app that bravely handles all your audio needs -- it's easy to use, but with gobs of advanced features ready to be discovered. It can play your audio CDs, your MP3s, and your streaming network audio; it can encode, edit, mix, sort and manage, visualize and hypnotize. And with version 3, it can broadcast, record, crossfade, and even hang with your iPod. Best of all, it has a nice design --light, simple, and powerful.
[robg adds: Audion 3 went 'free' around November of 2004; I thought we had run a quick blurb on it, but I can't find it in the database. Probably more interesting than the free software (though Audion 3 is a very nice app) is the story behind Audion as told by its developers, from start to finish. There are some great tidbits in that story; it's well worth a read if you haven't seen it before.]
