[Ham-Mac] Sound Byte for contesting?

[Chris Smolinski]

There's been some talk about programs for contesting recently here on 
the reflector. I thought I would mention one of my existing programs, 
and see if it could be useful for such work, as it is now or with 
some additional modifications.

Sound Byte let's you quickly and easily play recordings. You specify 
a file for each of the buttons, and optionally a hotkey. It can play 
any sound format Quicktime can handle. You then click the button or 
hit the hotkey to play the recording file.

My thought was this could be used to send CQs for contests, etc. You 
could use Audiocorder to make your recordings. You'd need to use a 
rig interface with a VOX control, but most of the newer ones seem to 
do that anyway.

Here's the URLs of interest:

I'm open to any suggestions on how Sound Byte could be adapted for 
ham radio use.
