Apple Thoughts: Audio Hijack Pro Updated

"Audio Hijack Pro has long been our flagship product, but it's been some time since it saw a major update. Today, we're pleased to Audio Hijack Pro 2.9 for download. Most noticeably, this update provides a significantly polished UI for our audio recording tool. It now sports a gorgeous status LCD, as well as an improved Recording Bin. It's also now possible to edit the ID3 tags of recordings right from the Recording Bin, with the file inspector. In addition to the UI overhaul, Audio Hijack Pro 2.9 features many smaller improvements, including new versions of Soundflower for recording System Audio and the LAME MP3 engine for recording MP3 files. We've also fixed many small bugs, including one when using the Recording Bin, caused by Mac OS X 10.5.6."

While I wouldn't call the UI update revolutionary, it does add a nice bit of polish to a very good application. If you've ever dabbled in podcasting, you've probably used Audio Hijack Pro to record your podcast or your Skype conversation. It's reliable, powerful, and regularly updated. It's nice to see the folks at Rogue Amoeba taking the UI a little more into the year 2008 because it was starting to feel a little dated. This update is available for free and will pop up for you as soon as you launch Audio Hijack Pro.
