Right. Obviously I have your full attention

What can any right-thinking individual use instead of SoundApp to audition a playlist of samples and save them in diffent formats ?

Under OS9, SoundApp was a dream. You could drag a bunch of drum hit WAV's into the window, click through them, save the ones you liked as AIFF's, and still have change of a dollar.

What do we have now in OS X ?
Bloody, shite-ridden, horrible, stinking, f**king iTUNES, which is about as much use for sample auditioning as my cock.

Anyone out there using *ANYTHING* which they like and can recommend ?

my cock is far more useful than itunes.

okay, that wasn't helpful;
this one looks GREAT to me, it seems to be donation ware. Looks like you can download it right off and test it, then pay 59 bucks.

I am PC boy, so I can't speak from experience, but I think that first one would be cool. here's a list of stuff from the site, that makes me wish that there was a pc version:

Well, the world and his brother really needed to know *THAT* one !

Seriously, thanks spoonboiler (what kind of f**king nick is that ?) for the
info onAudioFinder.

Looks like I will pay the 59 bucks and get what I need.
Cheap really, for what it says it does.

Anyone else on forum using this ?

Cheers

Er, no.

AudioFinder is the bizness, yo all ! ! !
Just downloaded and run it and it rocks. Does exactly what it says on the tin and is exactly what I was looking for.
Jeeeesusss!! Why is KvR such a bloody good forum ?

Must be the clean living, absence of any chemically-induced raving, everyone going to Sunday School, and total abstinence from any vicarious sexual practices, I guess .........................

Maybe it's a drug thing.

Yeah, I guess.
But you're not supposed to actually *boil* it, are you ?
Doesn't that disintegrate the morphine base or something ?

Ah, that explains it, then ...............

Might be a misunderstanding, but if you want to preview samples, you can do that in the finder in columns view. No need to buy anything then...
