Hi,

I'm told that building for ppc is a lot of work for people working on intel macs so we tend not to have time to do them for beta releases where there can be a new release every few weeks sometimes. For the final version of 1.6.0 we are hoping to be able to build a ppc version.

Man I hope so!!! Don't have an intel mac yet, but this app would be great on my ppc mac.

Just posted this in the troubleshooting section as well. The PPC build of 1.6.0 is nearly ready and will be available via our website within a day or two.

Thanks for waiting,

Hi,

Unfortunately bad news about the PPC build:

http://mixxxblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/p ... x-160.html

The old versions are still available from our sourceforge site here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=491056

Sorry to have got your hopes up with my previous posts,

Adam
