I bought Wham in February 06, it worked well for a short time until Mac OS X updated to the next level and so I waited peacefully for Whamb to similarly update but it never happened. At first anytime I ran Whamb it initiated a dominoe of trouble in other apps so I messed around, wasted a lot of time, and uninstalled and reinstalled several, eventually being sure that Whamb was the culprit. When i ceased to use Whamb the troubles went away. At it's absolute worst stage, Whamb caused a serious kernal error that screwed up my entire my PPC 17 inch so badly that I had to do an archive and install. I emailed the company three times, from the onset of the trouble, politely I must add, but they never answered my emails. All I did was told them what happened and hoped they would respond with a solution.
After 3 months I checked back here to see if anyone else had posted about their troubles or a a solution as I liked Whamb's rich sound and also it's Ogg capability. I was startled to see that it had become freeware, so i knew that many others must've been having trouble too, and that the creators had decided it was not worth fixing. However, it is my view that in such a short time, they should have at a minimum answered my emails, and if truly honest they would have credited what I paid for it back to my credit card, as I hadn't owned it long enough t get much use out of it. So all I can say is where ever these developers go, watch out for them, they do not have the customer in mind when the build and sell their apps - they are crooks! I feel a bit bad about this as they are mostly just students so they say, but I think they ought to stick with freeware if they are not ready to stand by what they make, especially if they take people's money and don't update what they make, nor do they give refunds when they sell something that turns out to be crap.. Here they are:

Now that I look at the last release date, my guess this is a dead app if the last version was released back in 2003... oh well, Check out toolplayer - it may be what you're looking for.
