Hello,
I'm finding that macOS Sequoia may have broken beaTunes. So far it is unable to:
* play a song file
* view metadata fields
* perform analysis of files

* beaTunes: 5.2.34
* JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM
* Version: 11.0.21+10-LTS
* Vendor: BellSoft
* OS: Mac OS X 15.0, x86_64
* Library: FileSystem
* Memory: 92m - 1152m
* Registered as: Peter Johnston

   Further clarification: this is with a small folder based library of around 12 files. I use this to catalog items before transferring files over to a laptop for playout in my radio show.

   I checked what was happening via the Activity Monitor app.

   Thanks.

   I'm under the impression that perhaps the integration with Core Audio broke.

   Can you please try the following:

   • Stop beaTunes, if it is running
   • In Finder, Right-click on /Applications/beaTunes5
   • Open the folder Contents/Java
   • Rename the file casampledsp-complete-0.9.23.jar to casampledsp-complete-0.9.23.jar_
   • Start beaTunes again.
   • Start some analysis.

   Does this work better?

   Thank you, yes.

   It took me two attempts because I was unsure about the extension ending in .jar_

   Analysis was successful, file info works correctly and I could run an inspection.

   Thank you for your prompt advice on this.

   Hey Peter,

   Renaming to .jar_ essentially disables that library. One could also simply delete it. beaTunes will then fallback to using FFmpeg for decoding audio. It usually works equally well.

   Cheers,
