We’ve got a new version of Audio Hijack Pro available for all users, Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 Preview 3. This update fixes a small bug with post-processing scripts and improves the reliability of hijacking from apps running under Rosetta.

As before, we’re still working to finish Leopard support for the Instant Hijack functionality. Instant Hijack enables the capture of audio from already-running applications, but when it’s not available, Audio Hijack Pro simply needs to relaunch the source application. On Tiger, Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 Preview 3 is feature complete with plenty of updates and new features over 2.7.3.

We’ll have an Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 final release, with Instant Hijack working on both Tiger and Leopard in the near future, but Preview 3 is now recommended for all users on OS X 10.4.0 through 10.5.1. Head over to the Audio Hijack Pro page to download it now.

Last week, we released MakeiPhoneRingtone 1.3, after iTunes 7.5 and iPhone OS 1.1.2 again made it possible to use custom ringtones on your iPhone. After a full week, the magic continues, and today, we’ve got a minor MakeiPhoneRingtone update. With version 1.3.1, only songs 40 seconds or shorter will be accepted, to match what the iPhone will take.

Click to download MakeiPhoneRingtone

As before, drop any AAC file on MakeiPhoneRingtone and it will be processed and passed off to iTunes, where it will be handled as a Ringtone. The file will show up in iTunes’ Ringtone sub-library as well as the Ringtones tab in the iPhone section, where you can sync it to your iPhone. Once it’s on your iPhone, you can use the file as a global ringtone, per-contact ringtone, or even an alarm clock sound.

Quick Notes:

• iTunes 7.5 and iPhone OS 1.1.2 are required.

• Files must be AAC audio files, ending with .m4a, .m4r, .mp4, or .aac.

• Files must be 40 seconds or shorter.

• You can use our lossless editor Fission to create ringtones. Edit almost any audio format in Fission and convert to AAC as needed.

• As noted previously, custom ringtones are undocumented and unsupported by Apple, and they may change or break with future updates, as they have in the past.

Today, we’ve got a new version of Audio Hijack Pro available for all users. This update fixes several bugs on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) as well as AAC recording issues caused by QuickTime 7.3 on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

On Leopard, we’re still working to finish the Instant Hijack functionality which enables the capture of audio from already-running applications. On Tiger, however, Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 Preview 2 is feature complete with plenty of updates and new features over 2.7.3.

We’ll have an Audio Hijack Pro 2.8 final release, with Instant Hijack working on both Tiger and Leopard in the near future, but Preview 2 is now recommended for all users on OS X 10.4.0 through 10.5.1. Head over to the Audio Hijack Pro page to download it now.
