MDEWAKANTON  Please, edit system requirements: doesn't run on 10.4; 10.5 or later required.  
(Version 0.4.1)

MDEWAKANTON  Big thanks to DEVONtechnologies and Litljohn :-)  
(Version 4.5)

MDEWAKANTON  Here too (10.4.11 on PPC). Uninstalled all InputManagers just in case, but didn't solve.  
(Version 4.5)

MDEWAKANTON  Thanks for quickly fixing Tiger problems!  
(Version 0.7.17.3)

MDEWAKANTON  No luck on Tiger 10.4.11 PPC: "you can't use this app with this system's version" or something similar in my language. Trashed .plist but to no avail. Anyone else?  
(Version 0.7.17)

MDEWAKANTON  Thanks for quickly fixing troubles: works fine with Tiger now.  
(Version 5.0.2)

MDEWAKANTON  Thanks again. Works fine on Tiger 10.4.11 PPC, even though the issue I reported below (the Container, Video and Audio stream tabs' black background in Preferences window) isn't fixed.  
(Version 0.7.7.58)

MDEWAKANTON  Unfortunately the issue I reported isn't solved reverting to 0.7.7.50. Apparently I did never notice it while running old version(s).  
(Version 0.7.7.52)

MDEWAKANTON  Thanks for your excellent work. I'm not sure if it was a problem with previous versions too, but with .52 when I open Preferences, the Container, Video and Audio stream tabs have a black background and I can only see single options selecting them. I've overwritten previous versions so that I can't check. Anybody else ? Tiger PPC 10.4.11  
(Version 0.7.7.52)

"Wise man said: "Since you obviously can't read, I'm amazed that you can write."

LOL I did read the discussion on the forum and I can only congratulate for your patience :-)  
(Version 1.4.2)

MDEWAKANTON  Here too the app (not the system) keeps crashing. I'm sending you the log. Thanks  
(Version rev6)

MDEWAKANTON  Sorry, can't edit post.

@ Caligula: referring to "insane" you have in mind, I assume, the CBR encoding mode. If you choose this mode from dropdown menu under Prefs. > LAME, you can rip at 320 kbps. Not in VBR mode though.  
(Version 20080818)

MDEWAKANTON  Here's why -q 0 is not recommended:

"-q 2: recommended. Same as -h. -q 0 and -q 1 are slow and may not produce significantly higher quality"

(Version 20080818)

MDEWAKANTON  This is simply great! always loved XLD, love new features too. Thanks a lot for updating relentlessly  
(Version 20080818)

MDEWAKANTON  I too had this trouble updating iTunes to 7.5 under Tiger 10.4.9 and could solve it in a different way (Import with LAME didn't show up in Scripts menu): Show package contents > Contents > Resources > Import with LAME....scpt, I put a copy of this script in iTunes Scripts folder and then it correctly showed up in menu and launched iTunes-LAME Encoder.

Hope this helps.
