Fission 1.1
Rogue Amoeba today announced the immediate availability of Fission 1.1, an update to their new audio editor. I have used Fission a few times, and I must say that this app is beautiful (dare I say delicious?). 1.1 adds the following features/fixes:- Native WAV support
- Normalize command (to normalize audio)
- Looped playback
- Bug fixes

So this is a pretty version of something I could have for free in Audacity?
So... why am I paying $32 when Audacity has a ton more effects, multichannel, multitrack editing?

Fission does LOSSLESS editing. If you want to edit an MP3 file in Audacity, it has to decompress it, then recompress it when you're done editing, which means you lose quality. However, with Fisson, it just chops off the bits of the (still compressed) file that you don't want, so no decompress/recompress cycle needs to occur.

I use fission I wish they would add programable skip forward or and back buttons.... When I listen to podcasts from am stations I like to be able to skip ahead 30 secs or 7 min ... I currently use a quicktime script to do this which means I do not use fission .... since fission is an editor it would be nice to have jump points in seconds that I have pre programmed.... oh well maybe next version...
