Installing

Download the installation package and run it. This installs Subsonic.app in Applications.
Start it by opening Applications and click the Subsonic icon.
If you want Subsonic to start automatically when you log in, right-click on the
Subsonic icon in the dock and select "Open at Login".

After installing and starting Subsonic, open the Subsonic web page on http://localhost:4040.

Advanced configuration

To change the port number, Java memory settings or other startup parameters,
edit /Application/Subsonic.app/Contents/Info.plist.

To make use of Subsonic's powerful transcoding feature, it's highly recommended to
install some third-party transcoders from MacPorts:

    * If necessary, install MacPorts.
    * From the command line: sudo port install lame and sudo port install ffmpeg.

Troubleshooting

If Subsonic doesn't start properly you can troubleshoot it by starting it from the
command line: /Applications/Subsonic.app/Contents/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub.

Also check the logs in /Library/Application Support/Subsonic.
