BRANDON MOL  ok, I think I understand. Just to be sure, do you mean the entire menu is greyed out and does not respond to mouse clicks, or the options in it are greyed out and do not respond to mouse clicks?

If you could take screen shots it would help. Something like this:

(Version 1.5.7)

BRANDON MOL  Should be fine now. If not please provide me with the crash report if applicable or a listing of your OS version, iTunes version, the processor type in your system. If you are running snow leopard, try running it in 32 bit intel as well as Rosetta modes and let me know if it works in either of those emulations. I think all this is sorted out in 1.5.7 or prior.

BRANDON MOL  Can you be more specific? The playlist selections works I know this for a fact - But there have been issues in the past with regard to this feature not working on macs using other languages.

When you say it doesn't work, what do you mean? ie… is there a list of playlists to choose from, you select one, and it ignores your selection? Or do you mean that there are no options in the list, or what?

I am pretty sure that I sorted out handling these list names independent of interface language so I am confused. Please provide more information.

BRANDON MOL  I've been using Go-OO http://go-oo.org/ which is an improved-upon build of OpenOffice 3.1.1 with native aqua interface. After installing the newest NeoOffice on Snow Leopard, I noticed immediately that NeoOffice feels LESS Mac-Like and has LESS native GUI gadgets than the Go-OO build of OpenOffice. The NeoOffice build launches a half second faster or so but lacks many features from Go-OO. All of the things that the NeoOffice team point out on their wiki as differentiating themselves from OpenOffice are no longer valid (save a few very minor things that affect only a small number of users), particularly with Go-OO as of version 3.1.1.

I used to be a big fan of NeoOffice, but now its dead. I just don't see any reason to use it rather than Go-OO.

Besides, which, NeoOffice is always at least one major version behind.

BRANDON MOL  I'm afraid that you can't rate music on the computer that is sharing it from the client machine. When you rate your music on the client computer, that rating does not propagate to the server, and therefore, no I am afraid I cannot make it do what you like.  
(Version 1.5.4)

BRANDON MOL  See below…

Also, try version 1.5.4  
(Version 1.5.3)

BRANDON MOL  1. Does it give you an error message?

2. Is this the first time you have used AutoRate or did you have a previous version? If so, did it work?  
(Version 1.5.3)

BRANDON MOL  It may be crashing on your system, but it isn't because of 10.6

Version 1.5.3 runs on both Leopard and Snow Leopard just fine. I am not saying you don't have a problem, just that it isn't because of 10.6.

What exactly is the problem and/or error message? Try version 1.5.4+ and if you still have the problem, please let me know. I made some significant changes in 1.5.4, particularly in the area of support for other locales. In 1.5.3 and older, the software would reference playlists b name , ie: "Movies" which is not the case for systems running with locales other than English (US) or English (Canada) . This should be fixed now, amoung other things.
