New Audio Products for Mac OS X Excite Reader 42
Curious__George writes "I'm excited about a couple of new tools for audio for Mac OS X. One is the freeware WireTap from Ambrosia, which allows you to record any audio playing on your Mac, saving it to a file for later listening or processing.
Its functionality will be built into an upcoming edition of Ambrosia's Snapz Pro X screen capture product. The other is a product that will be shipping by the end of the summer from Griffin called RadioSHARK (retail: $49.95), which is essentially a radio TiVo for your Mac: a software-controlled AM/FM radio that allows you to record radio programs (either local or Internet broadcast). I'll never miss a broadcast of This American Life again!" Curious__George might also get excited about the new Detour from Rogue Amoeba -- makers of AudioHijack, a predecessor to WireTap that has more capabilities -- which allows detouring sound output from different apps to different devices.

Actually, probably not. Many companies that have a reasonably high shipping volume have an arrangement with the shipper whereby they don't insure anything for loss in return for significantly lower prices. Part of the deal is, basically, 'unless we [Airborne] lose more than X amount of goods in a quarter, any of our losses are your problem'.
So I suspect that the person at Griffin was, well, we'll be charitable and call him/her confused. While it was clearly Airbourne's *fault*, it quite possibly wasn't their *responsibility*, depending on their contract.

PS: I've dealt with Griffin three or four times, including one where their package got lost on the way to me. They didn't have any more of the item (a monitor adaptor with sync-on-green support) in stock, so they refunded my money to my credit card. Three weeks later they sent me one gratis. (In the mean time I'd found one elsewhere, but that was still pretty nice.)
