Conversation is a free IRC client with DCC and MP3 channels support for Mac OS X. Its Cocoa-based interface will feel familiar to users of Apple's iChat, making it quite friendly and approachable for an IRC application. Version 2.14 adds/changes the following:
"Conversation is by far the most Mac-like IRC client listed on The Mac Orchard. It's extremely easy and user-friendly. It is modeled on iChat, so the learning curve is almost zero. The interface is clean, simple, and easy. I can't speak to whether it compares to Snak or Ircle in functionality, but (at least) as a beginner's program, it's superb. Besides, you can't beat the price (free)!"

Also, if you have an older Mac, be sure to check out the "Classic" applications page for more options.
Finally, take a look at ALEMIA if you think you know that name of an application, but aren't quite sure.
These are applications that are newer and of potential interest, but which I haven't yet selected for permanent inclusion. Have a look, and let me know if you think they deserve to be part of the permanent collection!
