Hi to all those that did a test of my Music In the Air program some days ago on 
your Mac.

I think I have fixed the installation problem. Would you do a quick test to see 
if it runs now?

I found a variety of anomalies that might have contributed to the problem, but 
I’ll wait to see if it’s better now…

Thanks!

Peter Bogdanoff
