Thought I'd share two recent discoveries with ya'll.

33 RPM
Mac OS
A great little app for breaking down the audio file to learn it by ear. You can adjust speed (w/ or w/o adjusting pitch), and loop.

Foobar2000
Windows OS - Mac OS*
An audio player with customizable user interface. Many UI are out there, but here's the cool part, one of the plugins allows for audio quality testing:
ABX
Performs a double-blind listening test between two tracks.
In other words, always wondered if you could tell the difference between FLAC & V0 LAME audio codecs? Now you can test yourself, in a controlled environment. Install this plugin on your Foobar2000 app and plug in your stereo/headphones and take a blind test!

a How to Video for ABX

*Foobar2000 for the Mac OS is not an official release from Foobar, it runs using Wine. If I can find where I downloaded the mac version of Foobar2000, I'll leave a link, otherwise you'll have to search for this yourself (I remember it being on a forum containing screen shots of the installation process on a Mac.)

Hope you guys find this helpful and/or enjoyable.

Guitar pro is for the Mac (and I assume, similar to Power Tab)

It is amazing how much is out there, the trick is to use it.

Dam straight! Ive met so many people that want to record music and I then give them all the links to fantastic free software.

If you dont use it, then its worthless!
