Introduction
In 2004, we sent out our first end-of-the-year mailing and the response was great, so we thought we'd do it again. 2005 has been a year of changes for Rogue Amoeba, and we've gotten where we are with your support, so let us begin with a hearty "Thank you!". We'd like to show our appreciation with some coupons exclusively for you guys!
Exclusive Coupons
First up, we've got an exclusive discount on our own products just for you folks. You can use coupon code USERLIST to save 17% on any order through the Rogue Amoeba store. Hopefully you've already purchased a copy of all our software, but if not, now's the time. This code will only be good through January 5th, 2006, so don't wait too long. Rogue Amoeba Store
Next up, we've worked out a discount with Adam Engst over at TidBITS and the Take Control Ebooks series. Andy Williams Affleck new book on podcasting, entitled "Take Control Of Podcasting On The Mac", is written exclusively for Mac users who are interested in podcasting, and includes a great overview of using Audio Hijack Pro to create a podcast. It's the best book on podcasting for the Mac we've seen so far, so we thought some of you might be interested to read it.
If you're looking to start a podcast, or you just want more information on it, you'll want to read Take Control Of Podcasting On The Mac. The normal price on this book is $10, but through January 31st you can save 25% with coupon code CPN002951216AHP. That brings the price down to a very affordable $7.50. Click below to learn more, then click the Buy button on that page to have the coupon automatically applied.

The Future
2005 brought a new addition to our software lineup, with Airfoil (the application formerly known as Slipstream). If you're not aware of Airfoil, it's an application to enable you to send any audio to Apple's AirPort Express. As you read this, we're hard at work on the release of Airfoil 2. We've been working for months on this major update to our hottest new application, and we really think it's going to take the world by storm.
We're planning to unveil Airfoil 2 around or at Macworld, but we thought we'd share some of the key new features with you now. First, Airfoil 2 features a sleek new interface, along with basic audio effects like our popular 10 band equalizer. We also directly support pulling audio from Dashboard widgets, great for users of widgets like RabbitRadio. Airfoil 2 also offers support for pulling audio directly from USB radios like the RadioShark, audio devices such as a microphone, and even all audio on your system, using the System Audio option.
On top of all that, Airfoil has one more amazing new feature. Starting with Airfoil 2, you'll be able to send audio from an application to multiple AirPort Express units at the same time. We've taken the AirPort Express beyond even what Apple envisioned, enabling you to send audio around your house to any and all units you have. We think this will be huge, so stay tuned!
Beyond Airfoil 2, we've got several brand new products in the pipeline that we plan to release in 2006. Expect to see some big changes in our Audio Hijack line, new tools for podcasters, the results of research into new file editing technologies, and even a foray into a different and very large market. That's all we're saying for now, but as always, stay tuned!
Timeline
Finally, a list of the major Rogue Amoeba events in 2005.
In January, we unveiled MemoryCell, a freebie that watches RAM usage, along with LineIn 2.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Company_News/news-2005-01-18-13-00
February was when podcasters really started to make some noise, and we started to listen, implementing features specifically for recording podcasts.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/News/appMixer-2005-02-19-13-00
The long-awaited release of Airfoil (formerly known as Slipstream) occurred on March 1st, and it was met with much excitement.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Company_News/news-2005-03-01-10-00
April brought with it the release of Audio Hijack Pro 2.5, chock full of new features and a free update from version 2.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Company_News/news-2005-04-28-10-00
In June, we all received a huge surprise, when Apple announced that the Mac would be moving over to Intel processors in 2006 - we're still recovering from that one.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Article/Surprises-Inside-2005-06-06-16-00
Nicecast 1.8 was released in June, a large update and the first major release from then-contract programmer Mike Ash, who led a tour of the application.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Article/Nicecast-18-2005-07-25-10-10
We also unveiled our plush Ammo toys, a fun addition to our product line. http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Company_News/news-2005-06-17-17-00
In August, Mike was brought on as Rogue Amoeba's first full-time employee!
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Article/welcome- mike-2005-08-25-10-00
Sadly, October saw the end of the line for Detour. It's still available as a Freebie, but it's no longer support.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/News/detour-retirement-2005-10-14-10-00
In Novemeber, the video from Drunkenblog's Evening At Adler went online.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/Linked/Adler-Video-2005-11-14-20-00
In December we had the first versions of Audio Hijack Pro that worked fully on Intel Chip Based Macs (ICBMs).
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/utm/posts/News/ahp_i386-2005-12-12-12-12
Right now, we're hard at work on Airfoil 2, MWSF, and x86 versions of all our software. Stay tuned for that and much, much more!
Closing
We've had a great 2005 at Rogue Amoeba, and hope you have as well. We hope to see you at Macworld (that's booth #431), but for now, have happy holidays and a happy new year, and know that Rogue Amoeba appreciates your support. Please email us with any and all feedback, questions, problems, or comments (support@rogueamoeba.com). If everything is working well for you, then as always, please spread the good word. Your positive word of mouth to others is more valuable than any advertising we do.
Thank you!
