Greetings from Download.com!


Most Mac users would agree: we love iTunes. It's a simple way to organize and play CDs in style without all the bells and whistles. The question is: what if you want more? What if you want a graphic EQ, skins to change your player's appearance, or plug-ins such as echo effects? Enter Audion, our Pick of the Week, the well-known and celebrated MP3 player with all of these options and much more. If you're looking for extensive features, there is no need to look further. Get serious about your MP3s:

Also this week, we've got Pitbull Pro, a feature-rich file-sharing client that uses the Hotline protocol; Cinema 4D XL, a professional-level 3D modeling and animation tool; A-Dock, a launcher that mimics the OS X dock for those users who are not ready to make the switch; and Traffic, a simple yet addictive puzzle game where you'll need to clear the path in order to escape the "jam."


Enjoy!

2. Pick of the Week


AUDION
Version: 2.6
File size: 1.7MB
License: Demo ($19.95)
Minimum Requirements: PowerPC, Mac OS 8.5


An MP3 player that is already famous for innovations such as alpha-channeled interfaces, hierarchical playlists, and a gazillion skins, the latest version of Audion from Panic Software adds even more features. It now includes one-click CD burning, a maximizer plug-in that evens out audio to avoid sudden volume changes, an echo plug-in, and improved freedb support. Don't panic; it's here:

3. The Week in Wares: The Latest and Greatest Software Releases


IN INTERNET:


PITBULL PRO
Version: 2.2.1
File size: 3MB
License: Shareware ($11)
Minimum Requirements: Mac OS 8.1


Hotline aficionados take note: Pitbull Pro has a few advantages over the existing stock of clients. This program offers administrative options that go beyond most of its competitors, including support for multiple file transfers in separate windows and private messaging. More importantly, it adds an extra layer of reliability to the notoriously difficult process of maintaining a connection using the Hotline protocol. This new version is fully OS X compatible, and also includes several bug fixes. No need for a leash:

IN MULTIMEDIA AND DESIGN:


CINEMA 4D XL
Version: 7.2
File size: 10.8MB
License: Demo
Minimum Requirements: Mac OS 8.5


You can spend a lot on a 3D animation and modeling tool. But if you want super-fast rendering and a solid feature package without having to plunk down serious cash, Cinema 4D XL looks like a clear frontrunner. With the latest version adding global illumination, caustics, and adaptive anti-aliasing (with up to 16x16 oversampling), one of the fastest ray-tracers has just gotten better. Put Cinema 4D through its paces with this demo (minus save and export). See you at the Cinema:

IN UTILITIES:


A-DOCK
Version: 2.6
File size: 292K
License: Shareware ($7)
Minimum requirements: PowerPC, Mac OS 8.5


Not quite ready for OS X? Get the familiarity of earlier, more predictable operating systems coupled with the easy application launch capabilities of OS X. The new version of this application-switching utility builds on the interface and memory-saving extras of its predecessors with a "grab and drag" option, easier access to info about the programs placed in your A-Dock line-up, and faster deletes. A-Dock offers a number of cool skins to make its floating palette pretty, and it also works with Kaleidoscope. Mac OS X, the "classic" way:

IN GAMES:


TRAFFIC
Version: 1.0.1
File size: 1.7MB
License: Shareware ($12)
Minimum requirements: System 7.5


This sliding puzzle game is fairly simple, yet surprisingly addictive. The object is to slide cars and trucks out of the "traffic jam" so that your car has a clear path to the exit. It will often take several moves to get each car where it needs to be in order to create a clear path. With colorful graphics and more than 50 levels of game play, this puzzler requires careful visual-spatial planning to allow your car to escape. Traffic can be good:
