  • Why does Homebrew say everything is up to date, but when I run brew upgrade, there is an outdated package?

    There's libMuseSamplerCoreLib.dylib, which I believe was placed there by MuseScore. There's also librlottie.dylib and libsndfilelsr.dylib. I'm not sure what these are. An online search tells me the first one is related to rlottie by Samsung, "a platform independent standalone C++ library for rendering vector based animations and art in realtime," and the second one “is related to libsndfile, a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled audio data.”

    If you intend to integrate also other audio formats, such as FLAC, MP3 or WAV, I recommend the use of libsndfile, which supports all of these formats with a uniform interface.
