Mac OS X 10.5.6 - will it work?

Post by tahoedog » Mon Mar 02, 2009 9:26 pm

Before I download 1.3.7 I was wondering if anyone has used it to import to iTunes. My iMac is running OS X 10.5.6. I currently have the *ION CD for the turntable and the disc says version 3.0. I don't know if this is *ION software or Audacity hence my question. Have not loaded it yet. It worked OK on my older G4 running OS X 3 something. Thanks.

Let's see. G4 running OS-X 10.3 Panther. Getting on in years. We have one Panther machine left in the department because we use an odd tool in Quicktime that Apple "fixed" in later versions.

<<<the disc says version 3.0.>>>

No doubt ION software because Audacity never got beyond 1.3.7. 1.3.8 in experimental form.

So are you asking us if you should install free software and see if it works?

Yes.

Yes, basically. The G4 is being donated and no longer being used. I have a bunch of old lp records I would like to put into iTunes. So, will do as you suggest. Thanks.

Don't donate the old machine until the new one works. I have the entirely old-fashioned notion that the job should dictate the machine and software, not the other way 'round.
