Product Description:

If you're an old-timer on the Mac, you might remember Norman Franke's excellent SoundApp for the old Mac OS 7-9. It played sound, plain and simple. No fuss. No skinning, no plugin architecture, no fancy G-Force visualization something thingimajig. Just playing sounds.

Now, there's iTunes and QuickTime Player, and people are pretty happy with that even though sometimes it's just that much overkill. Say you want to preview twenty wave files. Just give them a quick listen. You'll probably use iTunes, which means creating an iTunes playlist, adding the files, playing them, and when you're done, hunting down the multiple copies of the files that iTunes has now spawned on your harddrive, removing the original files, removing the iTunes duplicates, removing the playlist, searching through your Library to remove the songs from there, ... You get the point.

It's in moments like those that you dream yourself back to the good ol' days, when an app did what it did best and nothing else. The simple days!

Well, guess what. Simplicity is back.

SoundApp Reborn CommentaryWhat it's missing? - Version: 0.1.1, 6/11/2009 05:16AM PST

What I LOVED about the original SoundApp, was that it seemed to play EVERYTHING you threw at it...

I have a bunch of WMA files I'm wanting to convert to ACC... I have several apps already that can do the job, but none do batches... I remembered SoundApp could, so I came to versiontracker, found this new reincarnation... and found that it doesn't recognise WMA...

I've learned that MS don't particularly like people doing stuff to WMA files, but if there are other apps that can read/convert WMA, then surely anything wearing the "SoundApp" hat should be able to, too?

cheers

SoundApp Reborn CommentaryAnd don't forget Vox - Version: 0.1.1, 2/25/2009 01:28AM PST

Vox (formerly ToolPlayer) also does pretty much exactly what you described here: Play any audio file in a slim interface. Having said so, I haven't tried this program, so it might be really nice. Just give both a try!

SoundApp Reborn Usage TipHow to play/pause/next/prev - Version: 0.1.0, 2/20/2007 09:04AM PST

Hi, developer here.

I know this feature isn't obvious, but if you make the player window active (by clicking in it), space will toggle pause, and the left and right arrows will go to the previous and next song, respectively.

I'll fix it so those controls always work in the next version. The controls window should be trivial to add, too.
