Downloads/64bit Beta

The Alpha version is almost available. I started this port four years ago, it's been a VERY long time coming.

What Alpha Means

• There is no installer
• some visual problems in the UI
• There will be bugs. You will crash. You may lose data. Some stuff just doesn't work.
• Some features not critical to running shows are not implemented:
  • no ripping
  • no burning
  • no producer
  • no microphone input
  • no crash reporter
  • when editing meta in browser window, tab key doesn't work
  • music stores take a while to load
  • no video export
  • no transparent video
  • no "notification manager"
  • no python (no iTunes Crossfade)

By using the Alpha, you're agreeing to this:

Get it ONLY if you are technically savvy, and you understand about TESTING software: you will run in to problems, and I will need you to write detailed notes about the problems. The most critical information you can give me is a recipe for how to reproduce the problem.

Back up your data!

Find your "kJams" folder (in your user's Music folder) and make a backup. Also, make a backup of your music files, if they reside on an external drive. You should already understand how to restore your files too. I'm not going to be able to help you recover if you shoot yourself in the foot! For instructions on backing up / restoring, see this article.

I'm a bit desperate for financial support

I never did do a kickstarter to get this port done. I don't know if you can imagine what 4 years of part time work (aside from my full-time job) is like, with no income to offset my time. Yes the 32bit version of kJams sells a few every month but in no way does it pay for my time spent developing the 64bit version. I do hate to do this, but i need to ask if you're willing to join Patreon, or increase your Patreon support. Thanks.
