Basic Requirements

Hardware

These are the recommended specifications; you may be able to use some features with lesser hardware, though perhaps not all at the same time.

  • A PC or Mac, or laptop, with at least a 2GHz CPU
  • 4GB RAM (For 15,000+ songs, prefer 6-8GB)
  • 10GB Free disk space, in addition to room for your library

Software

  • For Mac users: Mac OS X 10.4 or newer (including 10.10, yes)
    • kJams 2 requires 10.7 or newer
  • For PC users: Windows XP or newer
  • QuickTime 7.1 or on either platform (you'll need to install it on Windows, obviously)

Other

  • An internet connection (at least temporarily) to the computer on which you plan to purchase and activate a kJams license

Extended Requirements

  • To rip and/or burn, you'll need a compatible drive. Not all drives are compatible! One of the reasons I provide a Tryout version is so you can see if your drive is compatible. More on this in the next section.
  • To burn more than 3 songs you must already have purchased kJams Lite, Pro, or 2. (You can, and you SHOULD) test burning with a 2 song playlist using the free Tryout. That's why there's a free tryout.
  • For the Producer plugin, a Macintosh, otherwise requirements as for Burning
  • Don't add more than about 112k songs to kJams, it is only a 32bit program and the memory management scheme will make it run very slowly if you add more than that
  • 2 core (or more) Intel CPU at 2GHz. It will work on a PowerPC computer, for a short while, but Apple is dropping support *very soon*
