One window, it has a "say" button to preview the text to be converted. Output is in AIFF format.

This is a great little TTS program. There is very little lag between processing and file creation. If you can stand Apple's synthetic voices, and you want to listen to your email, an ebook, or a document then this little app. may be for you.

This program automatically cuts up and formats LARGE text documents so that they can be read on an iPod.

For those using older versions of applications that don't have interactive spell checking, this program provides very limited and useful spell checking ability.

This simple text editor/ manuplator automatically removes duplicate entries from delimited lists. That's all copy text to the clipboard, paste into the program, and then select delimiter.

This is now a free application! This program records, plays and encodes audio into a few formats, including MP3. It can handle and encode streams. It is no longer under development, but is very much like WinAmp on steroids.

I used to use this, back when iTunes was crappy and slow. Now iTunes (for me anyway) has eclipsed the need for this.

This was the best MP3 player available in the late 90s. Panic Software is a great company.

as a multi-functional audio player, editor and transcoder, this app is quite useful... even charming in a sense [if one could call software charming]. if this only supported video playback as well, then i would have it set as my default media player, rather than vlc.

dupe comment, my bad

i would travel back in time to the middle ages and pillage a small village for a universal binary release of audion.

I think we need an "I used this" button for programs like these. I loved Audion and used if for many years.

The story behind it: http://www.panic.com/extras/audionstory/

QuickTime Pro allows one to unlock the "pro" features of the QuickTime player. This allows one to play movies in full screen, save and convert audio and video formats, and do limited editing with in it's window. Users of some of Apple's Pro applications, like FCP (Final Cut Pro) will be given a licence when they purchase the Pro app. A new licence will have to be purchased every time apple does a major revision, from QT 6 to 7, and likely from 7 to 8. At 30 bucks it isn't too bad, but a necessity to keep those Pro applications working if one has upgraded. Paying for the Pro licence will also allow one to save many different kinds of web delivered movies.

Note: Some encoding plug-ins, like MPEG-2 will still have to be purchased.

See the QuickTime Player description for more information.

It's a nice app, but kinda lame to charge 30 USD for a movie player just to make it do fullscreen. Apple should grow up and bundle it with its not-so-cheap hardware. Other than that, QuickTime is very nice indeed.

Nice app but VLC's better

Use it all the time but, boy, this is one app Apple is long-overdue in giving a REAL Mac interface.

Quicktime Player can play movies fullscreen since version 7.2 released on 2007-07-10.

Alternatives:

QTAmateur can convert video files to any format that QuickTime can write. Eg: it can extract pictures (frames) from a movie (with an adjustable frame per second rate).

Firefox, in its page info window, has a media tab that allows to save an embedded quicktime movie.
