Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: YES

The latest version 1.0.2 has fixed problems of the two not responding messages in Activity Monitor' window as well as long standing problem of inconsistent volume level. It has also been proven to be working with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil (www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil) in music streaming to remote speakers through AirPort Express. Airfoil is necessary to carry effect of Hear to remote speakers as Apple's AirTune feature of iTunes bypasses effects of many audio enhancement software.

Thank you for the effort and prompt response. Support for Hear is definitely different from sluggish support for OSS-3D. I have to adjust review ratings in this post to compensate for the effort made by Hear support.

Following is an Apple Script I have created as Automator's Workflow to activate streaming through Airfoil and AirPort Express. Please adjust settings of parameters according to your setup. When saved as application through Automator, it can be used in action setting of Alarm Clock Pro as morning alarm in bedroom installed with AirPort Express and remote speaker.
