Application won't update from within "Check for Updates" - Version: 2.9.1, 2/9/2009 08:31AM PST

Trying to update from 2.9.0 to 2.9.1. Downloading the update either from VersionTracker, or using the "Check for Updates" within Audio Hijack Pro, produces what appears to be a good install. But when you relaunch the application you still have 2.9.0. Running the applications "Check for Updates" shows you still need to upgrade. Looks like the links are going to the wrong place within Rogue Amoba.

I've used Audio Hijack in it's various versions for several years.
A truly great recording application gets even better. Coupled with Fission, it's the way to get the
best possible recording off of internet streams
One quibble about the use of timers in Audio Hijack. It is STILL POSSIBLE to e.g. schedule a 3 hour
concert via the timer (this would be done in the "Schedule" tab) but if you were doing some
previous recordings and had set a blanket recording time limit of 5 minutes (this would be done in
a different tabbed section "Recording" under "Limits") your scheduled 3 hour recording
starting at 1:30 PM would stop recording at 1:35 PM) the Audio Hijacking would continue for the
full 3 hours but the recording would be 5 minutes long. Kind of a disappointment when you were
planning to save that once-in-a-lifetime Opera broadcast from the Met.
I think it should be possible to at least have both of these possible inputs on the same tabbed page so you would be more likely to notice the conflicting settings. Ideally, it wouldn't be possible to enter more than one of these two options for any given recording session.
Using timers to record streaming audio with VLC. With iTunes- inputting the http address of the
stream into Audio Hijack (in the Input tab in the new 2.9) will cause the radio station to open and
begin recording at the appointed time.
With VLC, inputting the same http address into Audio Hijack will cause VLC to add the address
to the playlist- but it doesn't start playing: it is waiting for you to manually press the "return" key
on your keyboard to get the stream playing. A Google search turned up the solution from one more knowledgeable user:
1. Input the http stream address into VLC and start it playing
2. Go to File > Save Playlist which will generate an M3U file. This file can then be dragged
to Audio Hijack and dropped into the "Open URL/File/AppleScript" box.
3. At the appointed Hijack time, VLC will run the M3U script and actually begin playing the
stream without any further input from you.
The classical radio station WFMT in Chicago outputs its highest quality stream in the AAC+
format that can be played using WinAmp on Windows systems. This stream will not play
using iTunes or Realplayer on Macintosh but it CAN be played using VLC on your Macintosh.

I hated having to mute my whole Mac whenever I wanted to play a flash game or something. I like my music, not the annoying flash game musics and sounds.
I fought like hell with JackOSX and it just was too difficult to fiddle with. AHP is perfect for my needs though!
I'd love to see Rogue Amoeba make a volume slider for each application, it would make the functionality perfect.
I don't even use it for what it was intended for. I could care less about recording!
