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.

Thanks, working just fine with deletion of the file. Any idea when the permanent fix will be released? 5.4.35?

Last update above in October 2024 said 5.2.35 release imminent - what is the latest status?

All of a sudden, I am unable to sync the library. I get the following response:

An error occurred:
Synchronization was aborted.
Expected scheme-specific part at index 42: comm-apple-unresolvable-file-reference-url: (URISyntax)

Any idea on what I can do to solve the problem?
Thanks
