![]() I took a look at ColCh's version and it had the same issues as mine. Using a vanilla version of Wine (installed via homebrew) I've got it all working now minus theatre mode, visualisation (full screen), and cd ripping. Might have missed something but I've been testing this for a while now and it's streaming all my music from NAS via SMB without issue (once buffer amount set in MusicBee). Font issues are fixed and stability wise this seems so far to be absolutely rock solid. Tried on Sierra, El Capitain and Yosemite. Not going to be able to provide a beautiful installer for this though since it requires homebrew. I can bundle the hard to install wine files which can be extracted once that is setup. ColCh's version is super simple to install. So I'll offer that version plus the vanilla one which requires a more work thanks to installation of homebrew wine. I'll document the steps for how to install. Then people can pick whats right for them. ColCh's version is v good if you don't care about thumbnails, music explorer, album art (in main window not in right panel with track information. That works) and play count. I tried everything possible to get my version into a container but all the available wrappers aren't playing right. I am using multiple wine applications on my Macbook Air running OS X El Capitan. I have tried using both Wineskin and Winebottler in creating wine wrappers for applications that I use and both of them offer the option to enable 'fontsmooth=rgb' using Winetricks. However, enabling this option seems to. What I have instead is a script which sits in my dock (with the musicbee icon) and I just click on that and it launches musicbee once installed. It's pretty transparent and works like any other app. Have setup for my wife and son so it's pretty easy to use once setup. I'll document the steps (might be useful for me if I forget them!) and ask one of the mods here how to host the files. I've done all the hard work for the home-brew 'vanilla' approach. All the necessary windows stuff/options is all included in files I have. My next post sometime this week will include all steps to setup things. Of course, @mods. You guys said you were okay with hosting files on forums? If not let me know and I can whack up somewhere else I guess. Installer files are not possible but saving the Mac users a lot of brain ache is. Let me know if this is desirable. Realtek pci fast ethernet controller driver for xp. I was using the crossover version prior to this and the version I am currently using blows that older version of Musicale away. I know you're not supporting this wine version but tbh it doesn't need supporting once setup. It's rock solid. If i could get my vanilla version working nice in a wrapper/container it would be amazing but that is for someone else to figure out. Time for me to actually just have some fun listening to my music now. What works in the 'vanilla' wine Mac version: wavebar all artwork music explorer All player modes File conversion Browsing xbox store stuff 'Minor' visualisations (i.e. Little bars bouncing up and down but no fullscreen stuff) Layout changes 95-99% working Very stable - in 99.9% of cases crashes only occur when trying to use theatre modes or fullscreen visualisation. The fact that Fat32 can be read from and written to on both Mac and Windows makes it very versatile. However, there is a significant limitation — individual files have a maximum size of 4GB. How to format a USB drive to FAT32 on a Mac The main reason for formatting a USB drive as Fat32 on a Mac is that you want to be able to use the drive on a Windows PC, as well as a Mac — perhaps to transfer files between the two machines. So, if you’re using the USB drive to store large video files, you may run into trouble. You may also be preparing the drive for use as, say, a storage device for a media player or to record TV programmes on a TV with a USB port. Restoring usb flash drive mac format for mac and windows fat or fat32 file. Am sure this could be fixed with some graphic drivers but I don't want to bloat the files any more and am not v interested in fixing it anyway. What doesn't work in the 'vanilla' wine Mac version: Full Screen Visualisation Theatre Mode CD Ripping (not a problem - use free XLD app instead which works great) Prob some other features I don't use or need but I haven't seen anything In short its a Mac port that I've used to replace iTunes. And if you loathe iTunes like me it blows it away. I prefer it to all other Mac music players I have seen (Clementine, VLC, Vox etc) which just don't have complete enough feature sets. I need network streaming of FLACs&MP3s as well as good filtering/genres and a way to search through thousands of audio files, tag them and search for other music too. Most players are fine with a few files but once you have a large collection start being horrible to work with. IMHO this unofficial MusicBee port is top contender for Mac too. Only real competitor is Kodi which is a better cross platform option (requires a lot of setup time to make look nice and tag things right) and I personally use to stream music all around my house on raspberry pis. I only hope one day MusicBee officially arrives on Mac. I've uploaded all the neccessary files for both a pre-compiled version with issues I already mentioned earlier in this thread and for the Vanilla version of Wine which works near enough perfectly on mac minus the issues I've mentioned.
