Volume Logic for iTunes "Fix": Is it safe?

[arkitect]

Have used Volume Logic with iTunes for a few years and was very disappointed when it turned out to be incompatible with Leopard…

However Plantronics have offered a "fix" on their website.

Now, before running any command line fixes, what is the likely damage with the following commands? Or is it harmless?

* Close iTunes if open
* Open Terminal: Applications/Utilities/Terminal
* Copy and paste the following
* cd /usr/lib
sudo cp libcrypto.0.9.dylib libcrypto.0.9.dylib.old
sudo cp libssl.0.9.dylib libssl.0.9.dylib.old
sudo ln -sf libcrypto.0.9.7.dylib libcrypto.0.9.dylib
sudo ln -sf libssl.0.9.7.dylib libssl.0.9.dylib
* If you are asked for your computer password (not a Volume Logic password), enter it and then re-paste the code into Terminal again.
* Close Terminal
* Open iTunes

Any help? Thanks!

PS. Yes, I have looked at iWOW… Volume Logic just sounds better to my ears.

I can't answer your questions, but thanks for the heads up about the Leopard update! I emailed them right after I installed Leopard and they said that there were no plans to upgrade their product. I'm so glad they changed their minds!

Unfortunately the product is still discontinued… and I think the next update to Leopard or iTunes will probably "break" this fix again.
