Thanks for the tips!

The problem has been there from the very first moment that I had Sooloos equipment, which was the MC200 in april 2012. After that I bought the MD600 and the problem persisted. The Mac has been the same and has had OSX 10.6.6 Mountain Lion on it without changes. [CORRECTION: I HAVE 10.6.6 SNOW LEOPARD] During this time, I went through 2 Sooloos software updates: every time I tried again but the Mac version would never work.

Following Greg's tip I now used AppCleaner (nice app btw) to completely remove Sooloos, including all the plist files. Then went to Control:Web to download a fresh copy. Alas, the install has the same routine as before. The PGM tries to launch while it shows two Sooloos icons in the dock (one for the installer and a jumping one for the app opening), then quits with the message "Control Mac quit unexpectedly). Clicking retry results in the same thing.

As far as I know, jriver doesn't do a Mac version just jet, but they might do some day. DB Poweramp however are working a Mac version. Good for me:-)

As for ripping: indeed there are many options and although I just like the completeness of functionality in jriver Media Center, I'm not too worried about that aspect. In fact I think that the tagging will work just fine in emulation under Fusion. The real problem is that I cannot currently import any music to Sooloos because the PC died and Control Mac won't work.
