Softsqueeze is now community supported which means users have to try to help themselves.
I don't have a Mac but if 3.7 worked on previous version of OSX then it would seem to be a Java issue rather than a Softsqueeze one.
The Java version you mentioned in another post is not the latest version as used on Linux/Windows (1.6 update 13). Is 1.6 not available on OSX ?
Have you tried running Softsqueeze from a command line (i.e. java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar) rather than using jnlp as that would help narrows down the problem area.
I run 10.5.6 (intel) and just fired Softsqueeze, it installed and ran with no problem at all. I also used some time ago a beta of Squeezeplay, works ok too.
I have no idea what your problem might be. Perhaps you need to run the disk utility and check/repair permissions on the system drive ? (can do wonders at times)

I successfully use, at different times, SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay and SqueezeSlave on my Mac running latest updated OS X. I think there was a hoop I had to jump through for SoftSqueeze regarding which version of java I was running, and I recall this being resolved by somewhere in the MAC OS specifying which version was to take precedence as I had more than one java installed. Can't remember the details at this point however. although I think the tip came from this forum so should be findable.
My Java version is 1.5.0_16, can't find 1.6 for Mac anywhere, so i guess it's not available.
When I launch softsqueeze, Java doesn't render the player or controller at all - so I just get a blank desktop.
I'm at a loss what to do now.
:-(
Update:-
Some progress! Downloaded Softsqueeze 3.8 (rather than letting SN download it for me). Launches, and I can see the soft player and controller - but the sound is way to distorted to listen to.

Reason: managed to get 3.8 running
Thanks for those leads, but I can't find any of downloading 1.6 for Macs. Mac software update should be detecting the latest available option to download, and it is finding nothing newer than I have. If someone could let me know where I can download a newer version (1.6) than Mac makes available, I'll be very happy!
