Panic retires Audion, posts history of app
Panic has officially retired its Audion MP3 application and made it a free download. The company has posted an amazing story by co-founder Cabel Sasser on the history of Audion, including very interesting details on the early days of MP3, a failed AOL deal, meeting Apple CEO Steve Jobs and how Audion almost became iTunes.

What a great story, even if I never was an Audion user. Transmit still rocks though—to this day, it’s the only piece of Shareware I actually paid for. And what a great purchase that was.

I’m not even a Mac user and that was a great story. They missed the chance to become iTunes, and they STILL LOVE iTunes! They are a credit to programers averywhere. If I was a Mac user I would buy their software just because they’re cool like that.
