We'll always have MacWorld...
Cabel Sasser's story of Audion is a thing of beauty. I especially like knowing this tidbit.
Back when I was working in Tigard, all of us had tons and tons of MP3 files. A friend of mine introduced me to Audion so that I could listen to his copy of "Satan Gave Me A Taco" by Beck. It was love at first sight--a Mac app that totally beat the pants off of any Windows app before or since. I think I registered a copy about two days after using it.
I'm sad to hear the program is no longer in development, but they still make the best FTP client known to man--Transmit. I'm also a big fan of their newsreader, Unison.
