Hey guys! As always, if you want off this list, just hit reply and slap "remove" in the subject line, and accept our apologies for taking your time. We'll take care of removing you.

Please keep in mind that you will only receive sporadic product announcements, and possibly, notices of discounts and promotions on Rogue Amoeba Products. We won't be mailing you day and night or selling your info, because hey, we know how it feels to have a box full of spam.

To everyone else, thanks for your continued support!

We've just released Detour 1.0 (see the PR below) - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/detour. We've also updated Audio Hijack Pro to version 1.2.3 (a free upgrade) with another small update coming in the next week (in case you feel like waiting). Finally, we've also started selling swag, with the first item up being t-shirts - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/apparel/. If I may say so myself, they're incredibly styling. Honestly, how can a giant gun-toting amoeba on your back not be cool? The pictures really don't do it justice, we're very happy with how it turned out.

Rogue Amoeba Unveils Detour - Take A Different Path With Your Audio

Princeton, NJ - Rogue Amoeba Software is announcing the immediate availability of Detour, our newest audio utility for Mac OS X. Detour provides the ability to choose the audio output device and relative volume for all of your applications - a capability never before seen on OS X that will appeal to users of all types. From serious audio pros to the computer music lover in all of us, Detour provides the control over your sound that you've always wanted.

With Detour, you can send iTunes music and DVD Player sound to an external set of speakers or headphones while keeping noises from iChat and other programs coming out of the computer's smaller built-in speaker. Keep your music distraction-free and never again be jarred out of a groove session.

Detour can also be used to lower the volume of some applications relative to others. Even users with just one system output will benefit from Detour. Use Detour to lower the volume on your email notifications so they don't cut through music and movies - or selectively mute programs which insist on making noise you don't need to hear.

Detour compliments the popular Griffin iMic wonderfully, and works great with any USB speakers such as the Harman Kardon SoundSticks. Users owning MiniDisc players will also appreciate Detour's ability to send the audio from a single application directly to the MiniDisc for recording. Anyone who has the volume turned on in OS X will benefit from Detour.

Detour 1.0 (for OS X 10.2 and up) is immediately available for download and purchase. Head over to the Detour page for more information, or download Detour now. Detour is $12 shareware, with an introductory price of $10 through July 31st. Get it today!
