OS X Standalone installation / include lame, flac & sho

That was easy. Thanks to Velcs0's post

( http://forum.subsonic.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1452 )

I was able to get Subsonic running on my OS X macmini pretty quickly.

Subsonic plays MP3 out of the box, but all my music files are Flac and Shorten.

*I know very little about unix*, but I had previously installed Jinzora
so I had already learned how to:

./configure
make
make install

Shorten ( http://shorten.mac.findmysoft.com/download/ )
Flac ( http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html )
Lame ( http://lame.en.softonic.com/mac )

In terminal, I know enough to:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

So I was able to find the Shorten, Lame & Flac apps ( /usr/local/bin/ )
and copy them to:

/private/var/subsonic/transcode

I'm really in business. Very, very cool. Thank You Sindre.

I'd be happy to send the Flac, Lame & Shorten apps I'm using on my Intel Mac to be included in the Standalone installation.

Windows users already enjoy this benefit:

I don't know if those apps have dependencies that make this not helpful.
