sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backupd-auto

The MIDI input shows up in apple's Audio MIDI Setup and Garageband. But
I'll be damned if I can work out how to use the KB to produce music in
Garageband. Garageband's help and several google searches have turned up

I want to listen to a live stream broadcast with an m3u extension.
Running 10.5.2 and Safari 3.1.1.

Anyone have any suggestions on where one might purchase a legitimate,

2004 or 2007 versions?   (NOT including eBay . . . )
