Sweet iPod suite!

Pros: Audio Hijack is tops - capture all the music you want!

Cons: MusicMixer is slow the first time

Review: This is a great suite of iPod stuff. Audio Hijack is something that I can't see how I ever lived without - I'm capture streams and music from EVERYWHERE and saving it to my hard drive. MusicMixer thing makes really cool playlists - it was slow the first time - but much faster after it's done the analysis. The other software is really cool too. A great deal and totally worth it if you've got yourself and iPod and a Mac.

Didn't even know I wanted it until I got it

Pros: Simple apps, advanced functionality

Cons: It be would nice for PC, but thats no reason mac users shouldn't try it!

Review: Audiohijack actually hijacks the audio stream from any application that has audio, rip iTunes streams or even audio from a DVD you're playing back. It's pretty kick #$$. :) Also I've never listened to podcasts before but it's like a radio station with thousands of channels that you can download or transfer to your ipod. After using this for 3 days it's become part of my morning routine.

Sweet!!!!!

Pros: Exellent product, easy to use

Cons: None so far

Review: This product works great. It's a very good deal considering each application bought individually cost close to $100. CNET always gives applications bad reviews because they are Mac Only. That is no reason to mark it down.

All the applications work great and are easy to use. If you want to get all those old LP's on to your iPod, this is the product for you.
