Rogue Amoeba has updated Audio Hijack Pro to v2.9. Most noticeably, this update provides a significantly polished UI for the audio recording tool. It now sports a 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. Many small bugs have also been fixed, including one when using the Recording Bin, caused by Mac OS X 10.5.6.

Summary of changes:

• Improved and polished user interface, including a global status LCD and updated Recording Bin with file inspector.
