Playing PSF rips on OS X?

There's Audio Overload, but it's far from perfect. It doesn't have all the options of the windoze plugins and it even seems to speed up the tempo of files slightly. Plus it's coded by Richard Bannister, the plague of the MacOS software community.

On the upside, it does work. More or less.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Here's one for you, if you want to play around with X Windows.

Looks promising and I might give it a whirl myself. I hate having to keep a spare windows box or virtual system around just for emulated music.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Pre-rant edit: Reading this again...wow. I just want to clarify that I am in no way angry at you for asking, and I hope my (downright Ellisonian) diatribe here is helpful and/or informative on some level.

Bannister is a scumbag who (somehow, $DEITY only knows how) gets the rights to port open-source programs to Mac OS X and then strips out their functionality, only to include it in a closed-source, for-pay plugin of his own design. It's a gigantic slap in the face to everything the OSS movement stands for, and the man honestly deserves to be shot like the crazed, rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth animal he is.

From an older version of his FAQ (not a direct quote, but from memory):

Yeah, building in a crippling feature to what was once fucking GPLed software. I really hope his family dies in a plane crash and they call him in to sort out the body parts.

Edit: And he gets to see his little sister's desperate, pleading, lifeless eyes staring him in the face from the morgue table.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I was under the impression that releasing parts of GPLed software under a closed-source license constituted a GPL violation.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ahhhhhhhh, okay, that makes sense.

What we need, then, is for the OSS developers to tell him to go take a flying leap, and that it's GPL or nothing for him.

I was speaking idiomatically.
