Free gap between software for mac

What I do is record radio programs with Audio Hijack Pro (Car Talk, Wait Wait, etc.) and write them to CD so I can listen to them in my car (since I am not always home when those programs are on).

Now, rather than have one hour-long CD track, I would open them in Sound Studio, break them up into 3 sessions (divided at their 17-minute breaks), save them as separate AIFF files and record them to CD with Toast. This took a lot of manual work.

However, I recently discovered—after downloading an audio book and writing it to CD—that iTunes would break the book into separate tracks by chapter when burning to CD (I’m using iTunes 5).

So I discoverd Apple’s ChapterTool. This will allow a person to make chapters in my M4A files (the format I use to record the radio shows with Audio Hijack Pro).

And I also discovered the “Join Together” script, which I used to figure out how to send a command to the Terminal to run ChapterTool. (I am lost when it comes to the Terminal. I can change directories, but that’s about it.)

So what I did was create an XML file (which ChapterTool uses to get the info on where to put the chapters in the audio file). Because I don’t know where the breaks in the program will be — some NPR programs break at the 17-minute mark, others vary sightly—I decided just to break them up into 10-minute increments. This allowed me to use a standard XML file for every program.

I then created the script ‘Chapterize’ (some sections leveraged from the Join Together script).
Chapterize is a small AppleScript that adds chapters to M4A(AAC) files.

The script runs from within Audio Hijack Pro, but you could change it so it runs when you drop a file on it.
The ChapterTool folder and the XML file are both in the Music folder (that’s where the script looks for them - you will have to change it so your XML file has the same name as what is in the script).
It saves a new, chapterized copy of the Audio file with “_CHP” added at the end, in the same folder as the original.
Since each Audio file may take a minute or two to process, I added the ‘say’ commands so I could get an audio update of what is going on.
It also beeps 3 times and opens the destination folder when it is done.

I just ran this on 20 files and it worked great. I then imported one into iTunes and burned it and it worked - there were 6 files on the CD. One thing I need to remember though, is to set the Gap Between Songs in iTunes burning preferences to ‘None’ since the gap may end up in the middle of a word or sentence—I don’t want a 2-second gap in between the tracks.

Raclette is a tool to display the current song played on Radio CT.
I got bored checking the web page for the currently playing song. AND, there was no history - so no chance to find out what was played 5 minutes ago. Raclette fills this gap.
Main features:
- Lists all played song while running
- Songs can be rated
- Fetches studio webcam image
- Can initiate playback through iTunes or QuickTime? Player.
Enhancements:
- Since the website changed i had to adapt the code.
- Also implemented locking on the datasource.
- Random crashes should now be gone. Now raclette will stall instead :-))

Geekbench 2.1.4 can be seen as an intelligent cross-platform benchmark which can measure the performance of your computer's processor and memory. Geekbench also features the sexy Geekbench Result Browser which lets you compare your Geekbench scores with other Geekbench users.

Major Features:

1. Multicore: Whether you're running Geekbench on a single-core Pentium, a quad-core Mac Pro, or a sixteen-core Sun server, Geekbench is able to measure the performance of all the processor cores in your system. Every processor benchmark is multi-threaded and multi-core aware to show you the true potential of your computer.
2. 64 Bit: Geekbench bridges the generation gap between 32 bit and 64 bit computing by providing both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. Find out how fast your current 32-bit applications run today, and how fast your future 64-bit applications will run tomorrow.
3. Rosetta: Use Geekbench to help you with the transition from PowerPC to Intel on Mac OS X. Run the Rosetta version on your Intel-based Mac to figure out how fast it runs PowerPC applications to figure out if it's worth upgrading to Universal applications.
4. Cross Platform: Compare apples and oranges. Or Macs and PCs. Geekbench is available for a variety of platforms enabling you to benchmark different computers running different operating systems.
5. One-Click Benchmark: Don't spend your time configuring options or changing settings while wondering how other folks ran Geekbench. With just one click you can start benchmarking your system with the same tests and parameters as every other Geekbench user.
6. Geekbench Result Browser: Share your Geekbench results with other users by uploading your results to the Geekbench Result Browser. Let other users see how fast (or slow) your computer can go. Create an account and track all of your Geekbench results in one easy-to-use location.

vCal Exploder 1.1 is designed as a full featured and advanced utility for use with PalmDesktop 4.0 and iCal 1.0. It's meant as a stop-gap until iSync comes out for people who want to migrate (not sync) from PalmDesktop to iCal.

Major Features:

1. Generate multiple vCal files from a single input vCal file based on Palm category.
2. Allows you to specify how long "infinitely" repeating events should actually repeat. When you export a vCAL from PalmDesktop, it assumes only 2 occurrences.
3. Clean up "all day events" which normally import into iCal as entries where the end date is prior to the start date (marked as an "X" on a date boundary.

Twister Caller is a small script for Macintosh that will call out random twister numbers.

The delay between callouts may be changed by editing the sorce script.

Completly freeware.

MatchFlow Composer, formerly known as PageComposer, is a powerful software solution that provides file conversion and RIP-once workflow for Proofers, CtP, Film, Gravure and digital page exchange. Composer enables digital workflow from DTP to CtP : PDF - PDF/X - PostScript - TIFF/IT-P1 - TIFF/IT 8 - (Scitex) CT & LW - DCS2 - EPS - JPEG - TIFF - 1 Bit TIFF.

Matchflow Composer bridges the gap between prepress file formats and any PostScript output device. Users can view, convert and generate secured raster files for any kind of output device.
By leveraging hot folders, job templates, AppleScript and ColorSync, MatchFlow Composer turns your Macintosh into a fully automated prepress system for a digital workflow. MatchFlow Composer users can direct a workflow in multiple directions based on job requirements.
So whether you need to RIP PostScript into TIFF/IT or convert files into PDF/X or DCS2,MatchFlow Composer will manage multiple tasks, quickly and automatically on your Macintosh.
