This program plays AIFF, u-law, Macintosh sound files, as well as few others. It does this with a nice progress bar keeping you informed of its progress as well as other information about the sound. Unlike SoundApp, SoundMachine allows you to loop your sounds thus playing them over and over again. It also supports the recording of sounds and saving them with various compression techniques. SoundMachine does not support the conversion of sound files into other formats. If you have the Macintosh system extension named Speech Manager installed on your computer, then SoundMachine will speak your commands. It makes you laugh.
