MUSUBANA  In these days of tabloids, JACKOSX may be a potentially troublesome name. B-)

MRGLSMRC  the 64bit package for snow leopard is no good.

the unzipped package won't open because the BOM file is missing from it.

you should skip this download until you are notified of a fix!

NAOH  Just a quick note about version 0.81 of JackOSX.

It seems to have a bug which causes coreaudiod to constantly eat up about 30% of the CPU capacity of my MacBook Pro even when Jack isn't running.

The behaviour disappeared as soon as I uninstalled JackOSX.

If you are experiencing this particular issue, it may be worth while rolling back to JackOSX 0.80, as that version didn't exhibit this behaviour on my system.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.6 on a 2.6GHz MacBook Pro Core2Duo.

BILL CLINTON  This is an amazing utility for connecting audio applications. I can't believe that it exists at all, let alone that it's free.

ANONYMOUS  Great software, but two quibbles: NetJack settings aren't saved as part of the studio setup, and the router isn't exactly the most intuitive interface ever (its too easy to accidentally double-click a port and create an unwanted routing).

Otherwise, an indispensable tool, especially if you have two or more computers (and don't want to use GarageBand or Logic).

ERIC HSU  Can't help but commenting, there are definitely different 'sizes' of infinities; googling 'countable uncountable' will probably get you to the right directions.

There are also sets that are the same 'size' infinity, but in another practical sense, different sizes. For instance, you might have an algorithm that works for all integer multiples of one million (a countably infinite number) and another one that works for all integers (same countable infinity). Still, the latter set contains the previous set and in that sense does 'expand' the number of items...

YOXI  And I can't help but add that from a buddhist perspective, at least, 'integer' and 'infinite' are just mutually augmentative concepts - we have this idea of 'separate things' and of a 'finite or infinite number of them', but they're just conventions for describing an experience - language is just a modelling tool, and a model is just a better or worse attempt to describe experience.

Anyway, you could say that adding enhancements expands the *realised* number of limitless possibilities for this app if you want to stay picky ;)

FUNNELLPD  Powerful and free. I use Jack OS X in conjunction with Amadeus II to rip audio from applications for which it would normally be impossible to record, such as RealPlayer, the Finder, etc.

ANONYMOUS  Nothing is unrecordable: Ambrosia's WireTap will rip anything that plays on your Mac, and there's no need to go through a secondary app like Jack.

IONYZ  Wiretap—the freeware version—hasn't been updated in over two years. And while others have had success getting it to work on Tiger I haven't.

ANONYMOUS  From the above description:

"Both AU and VST “Jack-aware” audio plugins are provided, which can further expand the limitless audio routing possibilities when using Jack."

If there are endless possibilities, then the number of possibilities is, of course, infinate. Adding any number of additional possibilities would still result in infinity, since you can not add any number to infinity and get a number greater than infinity. Therefore, it is impossible for the AU & VST plugins to actually expand the possabilities, if they are truly limitless to begin with. (Since there are a finite number of siftware applications written for OS X it is also impossible to have an infinate number of possibilities, but we'll ignore that).

That said, this sounds like a really great app & I look forward to trying it out. :-)

Hugs & Kisses,

possabilities=possibilities

siftware=software?

As long as we're being picky...

ANONYMOUS  I remember reading somewhere a way of proving how some infinite values were larger than other infinite values. Don't ask me how -- my head exploded.

MIROSLAVH  I'm sorry, but the WireTape Anywhere is much better and without one bugg... ok, it is not free, but it is fully functional...

XENOPHILE  Based on your post, it seems that the limits to your toolishness are indeed infinite.
