Apple releases Quicktime 7 for Mac OS X 10.3.9

I'm no longer able to save streamed mp3's via safari quicktime plugin. Before I upgraded after the mp3 streamed I was able to go to safari > file > save as > save the mp3. Now when I save I get a 4 - 8 mb mpga file that only plays the first second or so of the song. Now if I want to save, I have to listen to the stream, then back to previous page and rt-click on link > download linked file to save the source. Note that if I try the exact same thing I still can do this. Just another reason to upgrade to "pro". This sucks!

Sorry about the double post, doesn't look like the admin is going to remove it upon my request...

Come on. Do you really think that OS 9.2.2 is old enough to validate creating a program as relavent as QuickTime 7, the only Mac compatible version of its kind so far that can handle H.264 format, and not make a version that's compatible with OS 9.2.2? I don't. I'm all for progress and moving forward. Hey, this Unix based OS X is probably going to make things much easier for developers to make things for Mac and PC, but it's still in the transition stage. It's not like I'm someone demanding Microsoft to develope an advanced photo-editing program for Windows 95.... Don't the long term customers, who have invested a lot of money over the years building a library of Mac software, deserve a little more consideration? I'll admit that I was pretty harsh in my previous post, but the spirit of it remains; that I think it would be unkind to not crank out a QuickTime 7 that's compatible with the classic OS. Anyway, the question still remains. Are there any plans for a QuickTime 7 that runs on a classic OS?

Geoffrey, on behalf of all us using computers, welcome back to the computer world, where obselescence is the only certainty you'll ever get on any machine. Did I say any? Yes, obselescence work on Macs just as well as on the PC. Look at the... what was it again? Newton Messagepad? (Hello? Steve?) So please, try to get used to it.

Sorry in advance about the long post....I use a G3 266MHz that I brought back from the dead and upgraded. I'm currently running OS 9.2.2. It runs everything great and I think it has a lot more use left in it. Apple did a great job with support and backwards compatibility for a long time. Then OS X hit the scene. What is the deal with QuickTime 7 having no OS 9.x compatibility?!? Are there any plans on making a version that works in the classic environment? I hope Apple isn't planning on maintaining this new philosophy it has adopted that looks like it was the brain child of some Microsoft coperate reject hired by Apple, convincing Apple that the company will make more money by forcing the customer to constently have to get a newer OS to run the trickle of new software releases that aren't backwards compatible and invoke laughter at the notion of being able to work on a classic environment...That seems to be what's happening. They're even already getting to the point where a list of compatible versions of minor Mac OS releases have to be listed just like there's a list of compatible Microsoft OS versions on a software box, where as before, being compatible with a Mac OS autimatically ment that it worked with all versions of the Mac OS. Oh well..... But anyway, does anyone know if anyone is making a version of QuickTime 7 that works on the classic environment, or at least is planning on making one?

Looks like it does need a G5 if you read the requirements on the link...

Thanks John! You're the Man (sorry)! But where did you find that link. I can't find it anywhere in the quicktime site.
