Blue Crab 4.9.0 (Mac OS X)

Freakin' AWESOME!  

Not one, not two, but FIVE different page grabbers in one application. One gives you full control and a detailed progress report as it crawls and grabs as much or as little as you want. One does the same thing but has a simplified display. One grabs only the page or two at the url you give it. One grabs images only, displaying them as they are grabbed. The fifth crawls pages or sites from urls in a text document you import, like a list of downloadable files contained in an email. Easy to use. Even does a thorough job of creating a browser-friendly copy of database-driven websites on your Mac. All that "whatever.php" server-side silliness is no problem. Blue Crab has more useful features than any two other similar apps combined. And to top it all, there's a friendly, responsive, knowledgeable person answering your support emails. Blue Crab is a bargain at twice the price. [alert admin]

Audio Hijack Pro 2.7.1 (Mac OS X)

THE "gotta have" app to record audio on a Mac, period.  

Rock solid. Records audio from ANY Mac software or any device that will connect to a Mac and has audio - even camcorders and analog video converters (I use it via iMovie). Splits clips automatically when there's a gap between songs (easily customized) and does it seamlessly. Never crashes, never pops. Supports all the major file types. Comes with a couple dozen useful plugins. This plus GarageBand (for editing) and you're all set and at only $32 it's a steal! [alert admin]
