Following 2 years of beta releases, MachineCodex Software has announced the release of AudioCodex v1.0.

AudioCodex is the only player for Mac OS X that tightly integrates your media, iTunes Library, Quartz Compositions and CoreAudio Audio Units effects. AudioCodex is made for musicians, DJs, audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

AudioCodex allows users to easily create loops and apply real-time Audio Units effects to tracks from iTunes and elsewhere. It is built around a unique hybrid CoreAudio/QuickTime playback engine which preferentially plays files with CoreAudio.

Version 1.0 contains many bug fixes and enhancements including the much requested shuffle feature and new track info fields.

AudioCodex costs $29.95 and is downloadable as a free 30 day trial version.
