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.

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.
Subband’s Plugins Power Pack, which comes as part of the MaltX trial, has also been updated. The Plugins Power Pack enables features for the power user, including Broadcasting to SHOUTCast/IceCast servers, several different encoding plugins, and much more.
