I'm trying to get TAU Analyzer to run on my Macbook Pro (10.6.8) using PlayOnMac. It's really cool freeware that looks at files on a CD and reports whether it thinks the audio was burnt from WAV or MP3 files (well, compressed or uncompressed files of any type, really).

I've only installed one other piece of Windows software (VirtualDub) with PlayOnMac and that works fine. I think I followed pretty much the same principle to install TAU Analyzer. However when I click 'Run', nothing happens. It doesn't even attempt to launch.

Has anyone else managed to get it to run? Or any suggestions of things I could check for to see if my installation was correct? I'm quite out of my depth here, so would like some help!

The .exe I installed was Tau Analyzer version 1.2 (Windows GUI), here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tta/tau-analyzer-setup.exe?download
The TAU Analyzer homepage is here:
http://en.true-audio.com/Free_Downloads

Thanks!



Here's the debug logfile when I try to open TAU Analyser:

Just as an update, I've managed to get TAU Analyzer to run - I didn't realise a shortcut for it had been made on my desktop. When I double clicked it, it lauched XQuartz and then TAU Analyzer ran.

However, it can't read the CD in my drive. I get an error within the program saying 'Can't open selected drive'.

There doesn't appear to be a preference to specify a drive. Is there anyway I can fake the mac superdrive to have a Windows type Drive letter? (If that's what TAU Analyzer is looking for??)

Any thoughts/help appreciated. :)
