The G3 was a good buy.

You need to check the OS version when you get it.
Go to the blue apple menu and choose "About this Mac"
The box that comes up will tell you which version of OSX you have.
It really needs to be at least 10.3. 10.2 doesn't really cut it these days.

As Tony says you need at least 10.3.9. This version is called "Panther"

I have a spare copy of this system I can send you free gratis if your Mac is not up to scratch due to me upgrading to Tiger.

Tiger server is a very powerful server suite designed for industrial use. I wouldn't bother with it unless you want to set up internet streaming, email servers vast network etc.

The workstation version is much more appropriate for home use.

I don't know an awful lot about pro music software. A good place to visit is

www.versiontracker.com

Do a search for "audio" and you should get loads of stuff.

I have found SoundsStudio 2.1 www.feltip.com to be good when transcribing vinyl to mp3 but it is far more capable than that.

Cheers.
