PS - Not real sure why Centova pulled my original post. I'm not selling or promoting anything, just trying to help you out.It all started with writing, actually. Back in the late 90s, my friend Misha Sakellaropoulo got me set up writing software reviews for MacNN. I stumbled on a small tool called StripAmp. I wrote a positive review of the product, and before it was published, I contacted the author to suggest he should charge a few bucks for it, rather than giving it away. That author was the aforementioned Alex Lagutin. Well, back in the late 90s taking payments online was a bit tougher, particularly if you lived in Russia as Alex did. He was amenable, and we started a tiny company called PK Industries the domain is now owned by a janitorial company who kept our color scheme to sell the app. It was a software remote control for one of the first MP3 players, MacAmp. It was a tiny app which sat in the Control Strip the what?! #NICECAST AND WIFI SOFTWARE# When I stepped in we polished the app up together, but Alex gets all credit for the application idea itself, as he made it before we even met. He made it to scratch his own itch - he wanted an app which did what StripAmp did, so he made it. Rogue Amoeba Software, LLC was officially registered Decemby Lagutin, Carnicelli, and Kafasis.Scratching our own itches has often been the starting point for our apps.Ĭustomer feedback has led to the much of the stable of Rogue Amoeba products. Audio Hijack was born as a plugin for MacAMP for Mac OS 9.Ī version of Audio Hijack as a standalone application for Mac OS X was created in 2002 and went on sale September 30, 2002. While at Subband, Lagutin originated the idea for a MacAMP plugin that would capture audio from other applications. Subband went on to reacquire the MacAMP name, and released an MP3 player, again named MacAMP. They were later joined by Quentin Carnicelli, author of his own MP3 player. Rogue Amoeba began in 1998 when Alex Lagutin and Paul Kafasis began working together, first on the release of a small shareware add-on to the MacAMP MP3 player, and then at Software, developers of MacAMP itself.Īlong with Dmitry Boldyrev, creator of MacAMP, Lagutin and Kafasis left to form Subband Software.
