Disclaimer

Keep in mind this is DEVELOPMENT software, NOT "Release", not "Beta", not even "Alpha", but one stage BEFORE that. (click here for an explanation) That means there ARE bugs (ie: you will likely experience "Asserts" and even crashes), and there ARE performance problems (ie: some kinds of MP3's don't play, some zip files won't unzip), and not all features are even present! You have been warned.

Limitations

The Unregistered version is limited in these ways:

Lite:

• Can't add more than 3 songs to a any playlist (except for your library)
• Can't rip more than the first 3 songs from a disc

Pro:

• Can't add more than 3 singers
• Can't add more than 2 singers to the rotation
• Can't add more than 2 songs to a singer's "Tonight" playlist

Burning Plugin:

• Can't burn more than 2 songs to a disc

Requirements

• To rip and/or burn, you'll need a compatible drive.
• For kJams: Any PowerPC Mac that runs OS X 10.3 or better
• For Burning: Any PowerPC Mac that runs OS X 10.4 or better
• An internet connection (at least temporarily) to the machine on which you plan to purchase and activate a license.
• The latest Stuffit Expander (kJams may launch it to unzip certain files)
• Lots of hard drive space (give it at least a Gig, if not tens of gigs)
• Currently you need about 800MHz or better, but my target is 500MHz
• Currently NOT compatible with Intel Macs (will be fixed soon)

If you have AltiVec then any processor speed will do. AltiVec has been disabled due to a bug causing warble in the audio. Eventually I plan to fix this, tho with the transition to Intel this may be a moot point. (We already have working SSE2 code)

Downloads

• LAME MP3 Encoder Installer v1.1

Legal Notice: LAME is an external library that kJams may optionally link with, I did not write LAME, it is freely available elsewhere, it is NOT part of kJams, is not INCLUDED with kJams, and I am not charging for it. If you do not use LAME, kJams will function just fine (you can rip audio using iTunes). If you choose to install an MP3 encoder, you should take it upon yourself to abide by any applicable laws regarding licensing. For more info, go here. To download the source code to this installer and everything it installs, click here.

The kJams Remote plugin!

Other

The freedb has this disc image that you can burn to test out your freedb code, to make sure it works. Trouble is, for Mac users, this image is useless. It's in the form of a Bin/Cue file, which requires CDRWin to burn, or some command line unix knowledge. I've created a way to make this disc on your Mac!

1. Download this Audio File
2. Add it to your iTunes
3. Make a playlist with only that song in it
4. Burn your disc!
