Rogue Amoeba ships Fission audio editor

Rogue Amoeba Software today launched Fission, a new audio editor described as "the first and only editor on Mac OS X to provide lossless editing of MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless, and AIFF audio files." Using Fission, users can trim, split, and fade audio files, then save the result without any quality loss, according to thd developer. Fission can losslessly edit MP3, AAC, Apple Lossless and AIFF files, easily split long recordings into multiple files, archive audio for later listening, by removing unwanted audio such as commercials, fade audio in/out, create MP3 and AAC ringtones for any cell phone, and more. "There's no overhead in Fission, enabling users to tackle common editing tasks without spending hours, or even days, learning. And Fission's not just easy to understand, it's easy to afford. Aimed at the consumer market," the developer said. Fission costs $32 and is available for Mac OS X 10.4 or later as Universal Binary. A free trial version limits audio quality. [Download - 2.4MB]
