Dunno without the error message. After doing the self update do you get
any more errors? I found the whole install process to be pretty solid. I
think you only need x11 if you're going to use GUI apps like GIMP. I'm
usually after command line tools like sound editors and xml parsers so I
don't even know if I have x11. Could be that something I installed
depended on something that needed X11 but I didn't install it myself
directly. I'm glad they manage to keep track of all those dependencies.
Seems like one little update to one package can trigger installation of
a dozen others :)

Hi Chris. I did everything you suggested in getting Xcode and
macports, and got them installed The only thing i did differently, was
install x ports, with is supposed to be the new x11. When I tried to
do the
sudo port upgrade outdated
I got some sort of error message I can't remember right now. When I
did the self update, everything seemed to go smoothly. Any ideas?
Thanks again.

There are two part. First, you need to get Terminal itself running.
Terminal is in your utilities folder which you can get to quickly
from the Finder by hitting Command-Option-U and typing T should jump
you to terminal (unless you have a bunch of utilities that all start
with T). Then you can just hit command-O to open it.
The second part is to install Mac Ports. Instructions are here:
http://www.macports.org/install.php
You'll need to install Apple's xcode first and then you can install
Macports.
With Macports installed you can now choose from a huge number of
available unix packages which have been ported to the Mac. I set mine
up ages ago so I don't recall the exact setup but I don't think
required much more than downloading the installer for my flavor of
OSX and running that. Then I can do the rest from terminal. First I
usually do a
sudo port selfupdate
which updates it's internal database of available ports and versions.
Then I do
sudo port upgrade outdated
which grabs any updates for anything I have installed in macports. To
install something like sox I would do
sudo port install sox
which will fetch and install sox along with any other things sox
depends on.

Thanks, Chris. I've never done anything in a terminal window on the
mac. How's the best way to pull up a terminal window, from the
finder, or anywhere else for that matter? Thanks.

When in the Finder, doing a Get Info (command-I) on an mp3 file
will give you all kinds of details but some of it is hidden behind
a "More Info" collapsed disclosure triangle. If you expand that
with the space bar then VO-right you'll find a bunch of stuff
including the sample rate and duration.
If you're into the terminal thing the sox package can also get info
using the "soxi name_of_your_file.mp3" command which will spit out
everything you might want to know about a file. It can also handle
batches so if I do "soxi *.mp3" in a particular folder it will
display all the info about all the files and the very last line
will be the total playing time and a file count.

Hi,
You're on the right track. When in the Get Info window, make sure
you're on the Summary tab. Navigate right, the first item after
the tabs should be the Title of the mp3 file, the next item is the
one you want. It will start by saying the Kind of file that it
is, mp3, AAC and so on. The Bit Rate and more will be announced
there as well.
Later...

Hi, listers. How do I find the bit rate of an mp3 file on my mac?
I selected a single mp3 file, went into its context menu, and
into the get info window, and seemingly found everything but the
bit rate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
