RLO  Audion has made my life pleasant again. I've had problems with iTunes 4.7.1 update and streaming internet radio stations constantly rebuffering. With Audion I was able to listen to music with no problems and have fun doing it to (changing the face) and all the themes available on their website. I wonder why it is unsupportive now. It's great it's freeware I would be willing to pay for it.

DJ  Great app,much nicer/better then iTunes IMHO, although I agree that the WMA playback could do with some emprovement.

Sadly, I think the developers face the fact that iTunes is free (Apple is pretty much shoving it down our throats.) and thus it must be hard for them to find a way to make money out of this app. That is my opinion why it is taking so long for this app to be updated....

KENARONI  As an alternative to iTunes, I still miss Audion. I wish someone would pick it up and run with it. I don't care about iPod compatibility or any other extras. It was simply a great & fun audio file and stream player. The choices of skins were so excellent. Last time I tried, it wouldn't work in OSX 10.4.

KENARONI  Hey cool, Audion works in 10.5 Leopard! It plays mp3 files and streams just fine. Now if it would only play AAC files too.

EBERT  yep, 10.5 compatible, but the audio quality doesnt seem good. An alternate, simpler iTunes would be awesome. Cog is coming closer, after Songbird failed to do so.
