Hi, I'd like to suggest some improvements to the Mac section of the downloads page at http://mp3splt.sourceforge.net/mp3splt_page/downloads.php

The icon you are using to represent "Mac OS X" is not correct; that's actually an X11 icon. Perhaps you should use this Mac logo instead: https://developer.apple.com/softwarelicensing/mac-logo/

Mac OS X isn't called that anymore. It changed its name to "OS X" for a few years but is now known as "macOS" (capitalized like that and with no spaces) and you should refer to it like that.

Your links to the Homebrew formulae for libmp3splt and mp3splt are 404 not found. I believe you should instead be linking to the following pages:

And change the parenthetical "(github)" to "(brew.sh)".

Similarly, your links to the MacPorts portfiles are outdated. You should instead be linking to the following pages:

We were a little behind on the ports in MacPorts. I've just updated them to the latest versions. That should appear on the web pages within a few hours.

Instead of "Mac Portfile" as the text of those links, I suggest just using "MacPorts", and for consistency you could then change the Fink links from "Fink package" to just "Fink". Alternately, leave the Fink links alone, use "MacPorts port" for the MacPorts links, and use "Homebrew formula" for the Homebrew links.
