It would be good to have a Mac build of Radio Downloader if this is feasible.

Surprisingly the following is a usable workaround for Mac OSX 10.6.5 with MacPorts installed.

sudo port install wine-devel winetricks winecfg winetricks ie7 winetricks dotnet20 winetricks gdiplus cd .wine/drive_c cp Radio\ Downloader.msi radio.msi wine msiexec /i radio.msi

Crashes on EXIT and has an odd minimized window that is not connected to anything.

Further research shows that that window is the system tray. I will file a bug to create a preference to not create a system tray icon.

Thanks for the workaround info - as you say, it is surprising that it works! I've currently got Radio Downloader mostly ported to c# so that it can then be compiled directly on platforms supporting mono (which include linux and OSX). It still doesn't run, but it is the first step! I'm sure this will be useful while I work towards that.

There have been some improvements to wine, 1.3.16 which reduce the number of tricks required:

sudo port install wine-devel winetricks winecfg winetricks dotnet20 cd .wine/drive_c cp Radio\ Downloader.msi radio.msi wine msiexec /i radio.msi
