Year-end Mailing (Coupons and News)

Rogue Amoeba Newsletter
Volume 2, Issue 3


2004 was a big year for Rogue Amoeba, and that's due in large part to our fantastic user base (read: You!). So, we thought we'd send out a year-end missive, full of discounts, new news, and more. 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. You can also visit the site to manage your subscription.

To start, we've got two big discounts just for you guys. We worked with Bias to get 20% off of two great products, SoundSoap 2 and Peak LE. SoundSoap is a great audio plugin which will work with Audio Hijack Pro and Nicecast to do seemingly-impossible audio cleanup. If you're looking to import a large record or tape collection, or just clean up hopeless audio, SoundSoap is for you. As well, many users wish to do post- processing and editing of files created with Audio Hijack Pro and Peak LE is great for that.

Both products are normally $99 each, but by purchasing with the link below you'll get $20 off each, for a price of $79 a piece. These deals expire Jan. 31st, and if you place your order before 2005, Bias will even cover the shipping on the products. Finally, you'll qualify for another $20 back, if you purchase both by the end of 2004. Get more info, and be sure to purchase through the link below to get the discounts.

We're also running a special on all of our products. Use coupon code USERLIST to get $2 off ANY product. If you've yet to upgrade from Audio Hijack Pro 1 to version 2, now's the time. If you've been using Audio Hijack and eyeing Audio Hijack Pro, you can now move over for just $14. Even our t-shirts are on sale, so hurry over to our store now. Offers Expire Jan. 31, 2005

The big news for 2005 is the pending release of Slipstream. We haven't told the press about it yet, so you guys are hearing it first. With Slipstream, you'll be able to send audio from ANY application over to the AirPort Express. Tens of thousands of people have purchased Apple's new AirPort Express, and many are enjoying the "AirTunes" feature which allows audio from iTunes to be played to remote speakers. Until now, only audio from iTunes could be sent to the AirPort Express. Now, audio from any program can be played through it. With Slipstream, the AirPort Express isn't just for iTunes any more.

For more information on Slipstream, visit Slipstream's website. Slipstream will be available in early 2005 for an introductory price of $20, $5 off its regular $25 price.

Finally, a year-end wrap-up. Without further ado, may we present 2004 - The Year That Was:

In January, we exhibited at Macworld San Francisco, and Nicecast earned a Best Of Show award:

We started work on Audio Hijack Pro 2 in March, but it wasn't until July when it was finally released. We also unveiled Detour 1.5 in the same month. Audio Hijack Pro is now up to version 2.1.1 with Detour at 1.5.2.

It's been a big year and we've got big plans for the future. For now, however, we'd like to wish you happy holidays, a happy new year, and take one more opportunity to say a collective "Thank you!". We couldn't do it without you guys.
