Hello,

I had a quick question about which torrent program I should use for my Mac. The OS I currently have on my mac is Tiger. Should I use BitTorrent or some other program? Also which program should I use to convert the files for burning? I used to have Windows and was using Trader's Little Helper, but I do not think Trader's Little Helper meets the system requirements for a Mac. Thanks for the help.

Here is Mac OSX info:

The following app can transcode from just about any format to any other format, and it does it speedily and easily, let's you do big batches of files at once, etc. Has a nice interface, very customizable.

Great for converting SHN/FLAC > mp3.

Program is called 'Max' - here's the link:

For simple playing of FLAC files (plus many other audio/video formats) on Mac, I recommend the open source, stable, and lightweight VLC:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Edit - others may recommend xact for mac. It works, but is rather clunky and slow in my experience. The above mentioned programs are light years ahead of xact in terms of functionality, speed, and presentation.

thanks dude. will look into it. xact was a little slow for me but it's the program i found when i got my computer about a year and a half ago. also, i used to use toolplayer to play my flac files but since i upgraded to leopard it won't work (vlc does though)

thanks for the info
