Re: [SoundDiver] Re: SoundDiver dies with Lion - what to do?

I think an open source editor/librarian (regardless of whether it's freeware
or commercial or somewhere inbetween) would be great - you'd think that,
given how many programmers are musicians, this'd've already taken off, but
... anyway if anyone has "ins" into any of the developer communities, I
think that would be great if we could find people skilled and passionate.
