Hi Anders,

Thanks for testing the ZIP.

One last thing to try before I make you dig into the console: Can you
try deleting your existing "Mixxx" bundle from /Applications/Audio,
then putting the new one in there?

(Mixxx stores it's library and user preferences in your home
directory, so deleting your Mixxx bundle shouldn't erase your
settings.)

I think "overwritting" the bundle has mucked things up since some of
the files that are in our Mixxx bundle may have changed cases. In that
case, you may have ended up with two copies of some files (some
capitalized, some not).

Thanks,
Albert
