appropriate frequencies) into smaller MPEG files. The program
also can encode 44.1-kHz PCM files. When recording from a CD,

signal).

individual developers who distribute their own software, because
graphic art can then be displayed inside a folder opened on the

point easily.

variable bit-rate MPEG Layer 3 audio files and the MacAmp file
format; improves AppleScript functionality; enhances the

have. Just drag-and-drop any compressed file (even ZIP files
from the PC) on Expander’s icon and it is expanded and decoded

it away again after six weeks or so. But it's so sympathetic that
you will drag it out every winter because it's just so nerdy.

or other applications, TypeIt4Me can help you do it faster. First,
define a number of abbreviations and the full text entries that they

menu), it will automatically expand to the full text it represents.
