We do not have native Mac OS support in the LobsterTunes server, but there are a few ways you can use LobsterTunes within a Mac environment...

1) If you have a mixed platform environment, you can run the LobsterTunes server on a PC, and a UPnP server (e.g. EyeConnect from Elgato systems) on a Mac (to serve media from the Mac)

2) You can run the entire LobsterTunes server and UPnP server under Parallels on Intel-based Macs

3) You can run the LobsterTunes server under Parallels, and the UPnP server on the Mac side (but note that there are not many options for Mac UPnP servers)

N.B. Please note that we have only tested on a Mac Mini, running Windows XP under Parallels

P.P.S. - EyeConnect from Elgato systems is by far the best Mac OS UPnP client that we have found so far.  We thoroughly enjoyed the 30-day trial period and even better - its free to use after the Trial for Audio :)
