I played this game consistently for 5 years from when it first came out. It is perfect, and the people who continue to maintain it are geniuses.

Transmission

My favorite bittorrent app for Mac. I used Azureus for a while but wasn't taking advantage of its numerous features and hated its bulk so I switched to the simpler, stabler Transmission. If they would just add some simple management features to their Groups options, like share ratios, this app would be pretty much finished.

X Lossless Decoder

Great app for properly ripping CDs to any format, and for converting between formats. Does a bangup job with hundreds of files at once, and seems quick though I haven't compared to other apps. I mostly use this to rip CDs to FLAC and to convert FLAC to ALAC for use on iPods. All things lossless

Rubaiyat:

I rip CDs with XLD because it uses a secure ripping method that ensures I get an exact copy of the cd, and it provides a standard log and cue file so I can check the exact output of the rip. And I can control the meta tags just fine within XLD...

HandBrake

HandBrake

Fantastic software that I use for compressing videos with x264 to an mkv container. Gives all sorts of simple and advanced options for video and audio quality, subtitles, and frame resizing. It took some research to figure out what I needed but I learned all about video compression in the process. The batch encoder is great

RipIt

Great app that I use for ripping DVDs to VIDEO_TS folders. Simple interface, has worked with every disc I've tried so far. I rip to VIDEO_TS so I can compress with HandBrake, giving myself many more options regarding compression settings.
