Rogue Amoeba Software is pleased to announce Slipstream, a brand new application coming in early 2005. Certain to be a huge hit with anyone who owns Apple's new AirPort Express device, Slipstream allows any audio from any application to be hear through remote speakers. AirTunes isn't just for iTunes anymore - now users longing to listen to audio from RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, and any other application over their remote speakers will be able to do so, with Slipstream.

Slipstream will be available in early 2005 for an introductory price of just $20 ($5 off the $25 regular price).

No doubt, it is Christmas today ! Edirol has announced the availibility of a driver for its digital interface FireWire FA 101. I hear you think there's nothing really exciting or festive in that, now if I tell you it is a driver for..Mac OS 9, I imagine scenes of joy and debauchery! In a nutshell : ASIO 2.0, OMS, and Free MIDI for our Macs under OS 9 that deserve their little Christmas too!

Edirol is crazy !

No doubt, in the top right hand corner, the menu bar proudly displays a magic date : December 25th ! A day that has been firing the imaginations of old and young for centuries and that - despite its increaingly commercial nature - is still a special day to you, dear macmusicians. Whether Father Christmas (yes, he does exist !) has brought you the toy you hoped for or not, I wish you, on behalf of the entire Macmusic team, a very magic, very happy and very Merry Christmas !!!
