Aren't we dealing with VoIP telephony here? That's Skype's primary function. iChat, Adium, etc. are NOT VoIP clients with a Skype-out or Skype-in telephony function. Additionally, it takes about half a second to touch command-h and hide the interface. Big problem? This review/comment discussion can be very beneficial, but it seems to me it's also used as a platform for some to parrot other's trivial negativism.

Not to slam HEAR, SRS iWow, or Gen Audio SoundExpander, but after months of promising 10.6.2 compatibility, NOTHING. Audio Hijack Pro does what the others (used to do), and so much more. You can hijack iTunes, customize the effects with DOZENS of parameters, name it, and save your settings as an .fxpatch. You can do this with ANY audio, and create custom patches for each one - iTunes, games, etc. You're not limited to the limited presets the others offer.

All this in addition to the array of other functions the app provides. Rogue is always on top of OS changes, and ko's the competition even when it works. Gotta give it a try!

I've been using MailFX since the loss of mail appetizer. I don't like it nearly as much. I was excited to see Herald, but I too haven't had any luck installing. I've uninstalled & reinstalled, both times notified that the installation was successful. I'm ready to donate as soon as I can get a week or two of solid use. I'm running 10.6.1 on an Intel core 2 duo.
