"Next" menu option (Cntrl-N) grayed out
« on: August 09, 2016, 10:25:01 am »

With an album's worth of tunes loaded, I can only seem to play the first tune in the stack.  If I double-click or right-click on anything other than the first tune, I see the display briefly read "Buffering" but then it stops executing the playback.  I notice that the option "Next" in the Player menu is grayed out.  I must be missing something.  Any ideas?

Please describe your setup.  OS, MC version, filetypes, how you're playing, etc.

Sure.  Using a Dell laptop, Windows 7.  Just upgraded to v. 22, but this was happening with 21 also.  USB connection to a Musical Fidelity D-VAC2 converter.  Small Western Digital USB drive holds the music library--WAV files I ripped from CD with "Rip" for Mac.  I can play the first track of any album fine.  No subsequent tracks will play.

So if you start playback on track 2 from the album, it just doesn't work?

That sounds like cooked files honestly.

That's what I thought too, but I can play them with VLC or iTunes.  I'll try to play files from another source.  Thanks.

You could email me one of the files that won't play.

I'm matt at jriver dot com.

I could sure take a look.

It sounds like maybe you've got MC configured to only add ONE track at a time to Playing Now.  When you click on a track in an album, then go to Playing Now, what do you see there?  One track?  Or many?

Thanks Brian---I may have corrupt WAV files.  I just imported an album's worth of songs ripped in iTunes to Apple lossless, and I don't have the same problem.  Luckily I only have 725 CDs worth of rips to either re-do or batch convert, if that solves the problem.  ;-)
