beaTunes on macOS 15 Sequoia - don't update just yet!

Apple just release its latest macOS update named Sequoia. If you're using beaTunes v5.2.34 or earlier, I recommend to wait with the update as it apparently breaks beaTunes' analysis feature.
If you have already updated, I recommend the following workaround:

  • Go to /Applications/beaTunes5 in Finder
  • Right click on beaTunes5 and choose Show package contents from the context menu
  • Navigate to Contents/Java
  • Delete or rename the file casampledsp-complete-0.9.23.jar to casampledsp-complete-0.9.23.jar_
  • Start beaTunes
Background: Apparently the integration with CoreAudio broke with Sequoia. Deleting/renaming that file will force beaTunes to fall back to FFmpeg for decoding audio.
