Vocabularium 0.04
A free Java based tool for creating audio podcasts to help you learn Spanish vocabulary more>> A free Java based tool for creating audio podcasts to help you learn Spanish vocabulary
Vocabularium essentially works as follows:
- from the options screen, you select the vocabulary topic of your podcast (note that new releases of the software will periodically be made with more topics);
- each topic contains sub-topics which you can switch on or off (for example, the Clothes topic has sub-topics including types of coats, types of trousers etc);
- you select the voices that you want to read the Spanish vocabulary and English glosses (see below for information about downloading voices);
- then, you click Create Podcast, where you will be prompted to set a file name; clicking Create then starts the podcast creation process;
- then, you sit back and have a coffee or go to lunch? depending on the voice youve selected, the creation process takes a few minutes.
You should now have a lovely, shiny podcast to listen to. Copy the resulting file to your favourite WAV or MP3 player (or iPod if Apple will let you) to listen to while youre on the bus or tube, walking the dog, or in a particularly dull meeting, geography lesson etc.
Vocabularium is cross-platform and will run on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Linux.
System requirements:
-
- LAME
Enhancements

<<lessSIDPLAY 3.4.1
SIDPLAY - Commodore 64 music player more>>
The sound chip was called the "Sound Interface Device" or SID, and therefore this music is known as SID music.
SIDPLAY for Mac OS X is a complete rewrite of SIDPLAY for Mac OS, which was originally released in June of 1996. As I had the feeling that a lot of things have changed since then, I decided to redesign SIDPLAY for Mac OS X, instead of just porting it.
Therefore some of the features of the old versions of SIDPLAY are still missing in this release. Because it takes advantage of some of the special features of OS X, it will not run on OS 9.
SIDPLAY strives to offer the best possible SID music experience on any platform. It has been designed with the High Voltage SID Collection (HVSC) in mind.
Main features:
- Includes the SIDPLAY2 playback
- engine by Simon White
- Includes the reSID emulation engine by Dag Lem
- Support for the HardSID card (Mac OS X Panther only)
- Support for the SID chip on the Catweasel MK3 PCI card (on PowerPC only)
- Built-in directory browser, ideal for browsing the HVSC
- Playlist support, with built-in playlists for HVSC Top 100 and Best of VARIOUS
- Favorites playlist
- Support for the HVSC songlength database
- Fast search function using Spotlight, can search the whole HVSC in seconds
- Built-in STIL viewer, based on STILView by Imre LaLa Olajos jr.
- AIFF export function
- MP3 export function (using the LAME mp3 encoder)
- PRG C64 executable export (using PSID64 by Roland Hermans)
- Oscilloscope and SID register views
- Only SIDPLAY2-based player with mixer and mute controls
- First-ever graphical adjustment of reSIDs filter emulation
- Oversampling support
- Automatically shows a photo of the composer
- Automatic HVSC update
- Full tempo control
Enhancements:
- Fixed a problem with detecting HVSC Update #45.
- Fixed incorrect subtune and songlength display on Intel-based Macs.
- Info window now stays hidden if it has been closed.
- Fixed AIFF export on PowerPC systems.
- Added option to copy relative path of file in HVSC.

Simply the easiest and most satisfying way to get extremely high quality mp3s in Mac OS X. Period. NMP3 Ripper uses the LAME mp3 encoding engine which to my ears and many, many others provides the best sound quality / filesize ratio available. It has freedb and id3 tag support so you dont have to type in track names and crap like that. If youre looking for a fast and easy way to create high quality mp3 rips, this is it. One mouse click to rip and entire CD. It doesnt get any easier than that.
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

airport text 1.0 is created to be an easy-to-use and creative plug-in which shows off everything that a title plug-in should be able to do, but currently doesn't. The effect is rather lame (it mimics the old airport displays constructed from arrays of flip-over letters)
The biggest problem (still) have with this plug-in is that it shows iMovie's shortcomings rather prominently (which is a shame, really, since iMovie is an incredibly cool program). iMovie's user interface for titles is not well thought-out, and haphazardly programmed.
They feel lucky that it works at all, and many inconsistencies (e.g. you must click on a control after changing the text, or the plug-in won't be passed the new text) are definitely something can't be controlled.
Vendors still have some reservations regarding Apple's user interface for titles (which really don't like), and might opt to revert to creating pure effects. until then, enjoy the plug-in!
Major Features:
- Position title directly on frame with mouse
- Preview title in NTSC DV size
- Live preview (including fade-in and out)
- Any text color
- Any shadow color
- Switch shadow on/off
- Graphically set font size (not via a stupid slider) on-screen
- Fade-in
- Fade-out
- Fades can be limited to half/time only
- Force mono-space for all fonts

Applications that were tested and found to be supported out-of-the-box at at least one update source are: Adium X, Azureus, BBEdit, BitTorrent, Camino, Colloquy, DiVA, DivX, Fetch Art for iTunes, Fire, Flip4Mac WMV, Gizmo Project, Google Earth, goPod, Growl, HexEdit, iCab, iTerm, LAME mp3 Quicktime Components and Framework, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Suite, Mozilla Thunderbird, MPEG Streamclip, MPlayer OS X, OmniWeb, pearLyrics, Pod2Go, RealPlayer, ScummVM, Shiira, SixtyForce, Skype, StuffIt Expander, SubEthaEdit, TechTool Deluxe, Temperature Monitor, TeXShop, Toast Titanium, VLC media player, Xbench, XviD Quicktime Component.

Like for Widget Update, graphics were designed by Mike Pogran.
Setup
In order to make App Update find the applications you want to monitor for updates, you have to set the directory (or directories) where you keep them through the "Path Settings" dialog on App Updates back. It is recommended to organize your share- and freeware applications in seperate folders rather than dropping them all directly into the applications folder.
If you have used Widget Update before, you should feel right at home!
