Tunatic ReviewReally cool! - Version: 1.0.1b, 10/14/2009 03:51PM PST

I'm impressed. Only complicated stuff, like obscure techno hits, mixed together with other songs will make it fail. Other than that, for classic rock and even old French songs, it figured it 9 out of 10 times !!!

Tunatic ReviewWorks great. - Version: 1.0.1b, 2/14/2009 11:57PM PST

I'm a sound engineer at a theater and there was a song on a home burned CDR playing for a dance number that no one knew who the artist was. I imported the track into iTunes. I stumbled across this application by searching on Google for "song identifier". My wife was asleep so I just held the headphones up to the built in mic of my MacBook Pro and it was able to identify an obscure Jewish singer who sings flamenco as the artist who was playing at my theater. That's about as random as one would expect to test out this type of application under the least ideal conditions (headphones held up to a mic). One thing I'd like to see is the ability to identify songs playing from the hard drive, not over speakers.

Tunatic Troubleshooting ReportDoesn't work on my Mac OS X 10.2.8 system - Version: 1.0.1b, 9/12/2007 01:48AM PST

On Tunatic's VersionTracker page and the Tunatic website (http://www.wildbits.com/tunatic/) it says the application works with Mac OS X 10.2 and up.

However, it certainly doesn't work on my Mac OS X 10.2.8 system. Within seconds of launching, and after a brief appearance in the menu bar, Tunatic crashes, taking down the Window Server and Loginwindow system processes with it.

The Console log of the crash reads:

dyld: /Applications/Audio Apps/Tunatic.app/Contents/MacOS/Tunatic Undefined symbols:
/Applications/Audio Apps/Tunatic.app/Contents/MacOS/Tunatic undefined reference to _getlogin_r expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

From my experience this is a typical Console log report produced by the crash of an application that the developer thinks is OS X 10.2 compatible, but actually isn't because of the version of compiler used. I don't recall the exact details, nor am I a developer myself, but a while ago I dug around online trying to resolve a similar failure of a supposedly 10.2-compatible app, and I think it was in a document on the Apple website that explained how this happens if you compile with certain versions of GCC? Does that make sense? Anyway, it wasn't too hard to find the info, if any actual developer is interested in the question -- just google with some of the text form the Console log excerpt I give above, and whatever other terms make sense to you. I know I found it fairly quickly.
