Just now got airfoil installed after upgrading to Snow Leopard and find it does not work with Safari. This is a bit sad since it wored so well with the previous OS. It’s a great product and I hope you get an update posted soon.

Airfoil doesn’t not work under SL with Spotify. It does send some sounds, but only about 5 seconds each minute of the song.

George Howard: We don’t have an ETA, no – it’s simply as soon as possible. We’re hard at work on the updates, and when they’e ready, they’ll ship. We want them out there more than anyone, but we can’t release until they’re ready. At this point, if our software is critical for you, sticking with Mac OS X 10.5 is the way to go.

You don’t need to keep checking for updates either – just put this weblog in your RSS reader, and you’ll be notified when a post goes up detailing our updates.

As you’ve seen, Safari is one of the sticking points. Using an alternate browser for web-based audio is a good workaround for now.

Taylor: As we’ve noted in multiple places, Audio Hijack Pro is not yet compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). We’re hard at work on an update.

Tollie Williams: As noted above, we have no ETA, no. We’re working on it, and when it’s ready, it’ll ship.

As far as Fission goes, if it’s not worth it for you, that’s just fine. Many (many) customers find it worth well more than the price. Audacity does do some things Fission doesn’t (and won’t), but it certainly doesn’t do lossless editing of MP3 and AAC, and the interface is…let’s say, muddled. If it works for you, that’s just fine – you’re not required to buy all of our products! :) But the price is $32, and we have no plans to change that.

WordPress itself, which powers this blog, enables automatic comment closing after various time periods. That’s all we’re using.

Hi. Can I get an ETA for Instant Hijack please?

On another note, I happy to say I’ve purchased AHP, NiceCast, and AirFoil. They’re great. However, I’ve tried Fission twice and can’t seem to find it remotely worth the price. Especially when you consider the much more functional and FLOSS Audacity. If it was $15, I’d pay for it’s simpler interface for simpler times, but that’s it.

And a final question? What plugin are you using to auto-close comments, or is this a feature of the new version that I’ve not noticed because I use Discus?

Thanks.

Audio Hijack works with Firefox, but not Safari as of yet ( for me anyway) Having the same problem with Sound Studio..

Audio Hijack isn’t working for me! I’m using the trial and it does nothing, it worked before I installed Snow Leopard! Please fix this, this is an extremely important program that I use in my work life!

ok – sorry for all the posts – figured something out. It appears that Airfoil will work with SL, except for Safari. That is, it works with Firefox and other programs, but not Safari – at least not for me.

this is a good workaround for the time being.

Sadly, it (Airfoil) doesn’t work for me. did you do anything to get Airfoil working on SL, Paul? I could live without the Instant Hijack feature, but am having a tough time living without Airfoil, so any advice on how you got it running would be appreciated (are you using 3.3.2)?

Thanks,

George

Airfoil works fine for me with Snow Leopard, but Instant Hijack doesn’t.

I simply use airfoil to launch Spotify instead of launching it first. and then it works fine. Will be handy once Instant Hijack is updated o.
