  • I use cue splitter. It requires you to have (or create) a valid cue file for the DJ set that you want to split but it works a treat. CueSplitter

  • Unfortunately that doesn't work. The only solution I can think of is to make my wife an administrator too, but I don't think I should have to when this worked perfectly under Panther. Maybe I should try asking on Apple's discussion forums and see…
