OK, I had a chance to test the program. I created a new user account with just one mp3 and indeed it does run on the G5 correctly. Likewise it ran perfectly on the Intel macBook with just 1 mp3. On the original G5 account that failed, there are 691(!! time to clean out the junk!!) detected mp3's (wc -l /tmp/MyMp3_xxxx.txt) and thus the next stage is your software scanning those files. The error log stated "Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at /Users/bruce/Desktop/MyMp3.app/Contents/Resources/MyMp3.pl line 248." Had a look at line 248 and decided there could be a problem about line 218 (mp3->title) if a title is missing. Hope this helps. Cheers,
Bruce.

Could you please try this?http://www.theartofweb.net/download/prova.zip
It's a perl script that searchs for all mp3 and then try to do what MyMP3 does...this time we'll be able to figure out why it fails...maybe it's because bad filenames (bad chars?) or suchlike...just in case you don't know how to go about running per script on the terminal:
download prova.zip uncrompress it onto your desktop, open terminal and digit:
cd desktop
cd prova
perl prova.pl
so we can see at what file it fails...
thanks for testing

Also just reran the MyMp3 again with same failure result so it can't be in the list of filenames - must be a missing title associated with a a file - perhaps??!!. Cheers, Bruce.Friday, May 04 2007 @ 04:58 AM PDT

Thats it... Here are the results. prova.pl(2) went through and listed most of the titles UNTIL the following.../Users/bruce/Larissa/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/The Veronicas/Unknown Album/01 The Veronicas- 4ever.mp3 --> 01 The Veronicas- 4ever
/Users/bruce/Larissa/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/03 Infernal - From paris to berlin.mp3 --> 03 Infernal - From paris to berlin
Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at prova.pl line 33.
/Users/bruce/Library/Preferences/Virus Out Levels/Library/System Music/Icecream Man.mp3 -->Colossus:~/Desktop/Prova bruce$ (<-- my prompt)
(Colossus is the name of this machine!!)
So theres the bug.
Cheers,
Bruce.
