Will current release of CD Ripper/PerfectTunes work with outdated OS X?

[joeyc410]

Hello,

I’m in a debacle as my ripping PC appears to have died. I am researching buying a portable CD drive for my iMac but the problem is, my iMac is old and hasn’t been able to be updated to the latest OS since 2019. I see the current version of CD Ripper and PerfectTunes is stated to work with OS X Big Sur (released 2020) or newer. My question is - if I purchased this latest version on my older iMac, would it simply not work? Or would it run but with the recommendation that I sooner than later get a newer computer? If there is no way for the software to work on my old iMac, I’m basically unable to rip CDs until I spend $2000+ on a new machine, and I’d prefer to wait on that until a bit later.

Thank you.

To add, I am consulting the community about whether or not it would be a good idea to buy this drive. It’s a simple choice, I know, but I think it’ll do what I need it to do.
