SRS Labs has released its iWOW 2 iTunes Plug-In for Mac, the latest version of the audio enhancement software. iWOW 2 uses several patented audio enhancement technologies from SRS Labs to provide 3D audio from desktop and laptop computers as well as external speakers and headphones. Features include the ability to create and save presets for specific songs, videos and podcasts, an ‘Auto-preset’ option that automatically chooses the best iWOW preset based on the information in the music or video, and Movie Mode, which offers virtual surround sound over headphones. Tom Yuen, Chairman and CEO of SRS Labs, said, “As the popularity of Mac’s as entertainment devices increases, so does the demand for enhanced audio to ensure the best experience. With iWOW 2, music and video can be experienced with superior audio that complements the visual experience.” iWOW 2 requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later and iTunes 6 or later. iWOW 2 sells for $20; owners of iWOW 1 can upgrade for $12.

The problems I’ve always had with this plug in is that it seems to conflict with or be incompatible with almost EVERY iTunes add-on or appplescript. When I saw this update, I figured that they have had more than enough time to iron out all the kinks, so I gave it a shot and installed it.
The sound improvement is fantastic, above and beyond anything Volume Logic can put out…
BUT
NONE of my iTunes Applescripts work with this plug in installed. When trying to use a script to do anything, I get the equivalent message of “iTunes object cannot be found”. Bummer.
So, into the trash it goes. Guess I’ll stick with the mediocre sound improvement but conflict-free Volume Logic.
