At the time when Audion, and Soundjam were the only (real) Mac MP3 choices, I worked at MP3.com.
I recall conversations over email, phone (and even in person once (unplanned "hey I'm...")) with Cabel, a great guy. Our email exchanges led to putting Audion into the MP3.com recommended players page.
Everyone at MP3.com (on the engineering side) loved the quality Audion app. When we saw that Soundjam had become iTunes, we gasped, "how could they choose that app over Audion?"
A lot of internet history during that time. One thing is for sure, content, and the access to that content is still the fuel of internet growth.
I tip my hat to Cabel, Audion, Panic, and the team. I always felt like you were one of us, as in Panic build quality products coded by team who care about what hey send out.
I hope your (money) ship comes in someday.
au revoir Audion, au revoir

- HNSucksAss 9y agoApple has a tendency to acquire shit products from shit vendors, because they resemble many of Apple’s existing offerings (or those that dominate Apple’s platform). FCP was a Macromedia turd. Its mess of a UI and monumentally bad data structure set an unhappy standard that simply floated to the top of the cesspool. Look at FCP 7’s XML if you need confirmation that this product was designed by a hack.
