If you have a PPC Mac that runs 10.4/10.5 and have been waiting for a DMG of Picard, please try download and install this version. Please let us know if it works in the comments.
Jon Hermansen and I have been working on building Picard with only MacPorts prerequisites — that is how this DMG has been built. If this install works then we can proceed to work on a Universal Binary that should work on 10.4/10.5. If we can reach that, we should be able to release Mac binaries at the same time as we release binaries for other platforms.
Thanks for all your hard work Jon!
UPDATE: We’ve found a problem with PUID generation and have fixed it — we hope. The above link now points to the updated dmg. May not work on Tiger yet — if you have a Tiger PPC box, please try it and let us know.
Hi, I just installed Picard from the r813-3.ppc.dmg that is linked to here and, when I try to run it, nothing at all happens. I am running 10.4.11 on a G4.

Since this is on intel not sure how much it helps but i am really looking forward to Universal Binarys.

Fixing the CD lookup function in Musicbrainz’s Picard…
If Like me you want to use MusicBrainz Picard metadata tagger, and are running Mac OS X, you’ll probably encounter ticket 3532, which displays this nice little message box : which says : “Error opening library: dlopen(libdiscid.0.dylib, 6): image not…
When i try to run picard after download the app animates as though it is going to open but doesn’t i get no error message or system crashes just nothing.
