Well, pretty much any audio file will do so its not a question of compatibility
really. You might want to take a look at the offerings from Big fish audio at

You can pretty much use loops from anywhere as long as they are AIFF, MP3 AAC
WAV or Acid WAV.

Yeah,
I guess the other Apple Loops have been discontinued. They're available
through online third parties, but they're expensive. So, I wanted to find some
other compatible loops. Any ideas?

Apparently it's still an open source project, and the $2 is to support the
project. According to an article I read on I think Mac World, the source code

Hello all,
I've been playing around with creating and using extra desktops/spaces but
can't see how you can remove an empty one. Obviously they don't do any harm -
you can forget they're there - but I'm sure there must be a way to close them
when no longer needed?

Microsoft is not accessible at all in oS X. So that makes the choice less

Try the free Open Office or Libre Office which has some measure of VO
