    I looked in the usual places too, and there really are no comments about Tahoe yet.

    Haven't you tried it already? Worst case scenario is probably just it won't work.
    This is the kind of info to try finding before updating to a new MacOS. It's always like this for awhile.

    Thank you for your feedback.
    Unfortunately my super-old macbookpro is not compatible for Tahoe at all.

    I am literally struggling with buying a new mbp with M4 pro OR waiting for M5 pro mbp. As I ve been using lots of NI libraries, being unable to use Kontakt libraries in Tahoe will be a big challenges.

    Sadly so far no relevant comment I could find out from internet.

    So your concern is that if you buy a new Mac, it will ship with Tahoe preinstalled? That means you will not be able to downgrade macOS any lower than that. The M4 was released already into the cycle for Tahoe, so they will all have it. You'd have to find an M3 if you really did not want Tahoe as the lowest macOS version you can install.

    So the gamble there is if someone like Junior Porciuncula will update Add Library to Tahoe. You could track down his email and ask if he has plans to do that. Or you could create a library adder app or script yourself. But one thing I would do, I would not be making long-term decisions over products from a company which has already filed for insolvency.

    I also would not worry about Add Library v4 being updated or not. Once you have a machine running Tahoe, creating a replacement tool for Add Library would be easy, in the greater scheme of things. Python or bash script is what someone will surely do. You just need to be on that MacOS version or you cannot test and debug.
