Snapper

When you select an audio file in the Mac Finder, Snapper immediately appears right beneath the current window, showing you the wave form.

Hit the space bar or double-click in the wave form to play. Or use auto-play to start playing the moment you select the file. Vari-speed is available too.

In the Snapper wave form you can select a part of the sound file and: • drag it out, to create a new file. • drag it to any sequencer or audio editor (new in version 2...) • turn the selection into an mp3 file. (or ogg, mp4 flac) • split stereo files into separate .L and .R files or vise versa • convert to mp4 and attach it to an email in one go. • export to AIFF, WAV, BWF, mp3, or m4a.

Snapper follows your Finder selection, and it also shows up when you select a song in your iTunes library.

In Pro Tools, Nuendo Logic, Cubase you can spot (selections from) files directly to the cursor of your sequencer or audio editor.
