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!

If you came by our booth and saw us at Macworld San Francisco, we'd like to take a second to say thanks. It was busy, exhausting, and a whole lot of fun. Oh, and Nicecast won a Best of Show award - not bad for our first Macworld. Since returning from The City by the Bay, we've been updating Nicecast, and we're happy to unveil Nicecast 1.5. If you haven't checked out Nicecast yet, now's your chance.

And if you're not interested in broadcasting, you might still be interested in hearing what your fellow Mac users are broadcasting. You can check out the all-new MacStreams.com, a directory of streams by Mac users available around the world. Check it out, tune in to some streams and listen to some great new music.

We've also updated Audio Hijack to version 2.1. Still being worked on is Audio Hijack Pro 2 (a massive undertaking) and Detour 1.5. As always, stay tuned.
