MacAmp Lite X 1.1.0 - Positively Powerful!

Renton, Wa - Subband Software has just updated MacAmp Lite X (MaltX) to
v1.1.0! This free update adds many new features, in addition to fixing a
few outstanding bugs. MacAmp Lite still uses far less CPU than other audio
apps, and saves on screen space as well. From MacAmp Lite's compact player
window, which floats above other applications, users are able to maintain
complete control using standard controls, as well as a full playlist menu.
MacAmp Lite is also the best broadcasting solution on OS X, with the
addition of the Plugins Power Pack and plugins such as Broadcast and
Voiceover. With MacAmp Lite, a professional quality MP3 broadcast can be
heard by listeners all over the world, and it can be set up in under 10
minutes.
