Recommendations Requested (Positive and Negative): Has anyone had
any experience with any of the...

software available for the MAC?  Some of the titles I am considering
are Perceive, Listen, and ProMusica.  Reading KB and EM, Listen seems
to come out the best.  Any opinions?

Thanks.

Coming soon to a music school near you (hopefully)

 EAR PLAY

Will be published in conjunction with a theory text (ready for early 1991)
The software should be going to the publisher this week

Ear Play should be the home version, don't know the title of the college 
edition

Put together by some great theory people at the University of Arizona

  I've had a chance to evaluate Listen, Musica Practica and Perceive.

  Listen is my favorite overall.  It is a drill oriented application 
  focused specifically on ear training.  Musica Practica and Perceive
  offer a more rounded music training environment... which was more than
  I wanted.

I reviewed Listen, Practica Musica, and Perceive in the July 1989
issue of KEYBOARD.  You could check that out for details.  In short,
I like Listen and Practica Musica for different reasons (the latter
was more structured, the former more self-paced), and didn't like
Perceive at all.
