Bugs
1. Visualization mode normal or less: characters are not readable.
2. Volume slider will not respond to cntr- command if volume is above 84% (same as in 9.0.x). This problem only shows up using the ASIO interface.
3. CDs created with MJ can t be played on a computer (buffering..), not with MJ or any other player (windows or linux), it was playable on an ordinary player! Analyzing the CD shows that always the first 2 block of the wavefile are bad. Skipping those will result in playing the CD. I created an AudioCD on the same hardware using RealOne without any problems!!! DataCDs will work OK. Using MC together with different hardware works out ok. The used burner is a BENQ 48-16-48.
4. The Now playing info window randomly shows title (artist) or title (album) info. The album info seems to have the higher priority, so only when no album info is present, the artist is displayed. It should be selectable or vice versa.
5. Interrupted streaming files causing MC to lock up (ASIO interface) and continue to play the last frame over and over.
6. Closing MC will loose playlist position and playlist
7. On a low bite rate mp3 (64k) and ASIO interface, MC switches down to 22050 bit instead 44100. This is usually not supported by ASIO. Setting a fixed bit rate does not correct this.
8. ASIO error: playing one specific file causes MC to crash. Switching from ASIO to Wave out, the file plays ok. During switching around, it seems to me that the playback buffer is not flushed at the end of playback in ASIO mode, what would explain #5 above.
This bug occurs only with one mp3-file, all others play ok. If one likes to get it, please let me know.
Wishes
1. All units should be expressed in db rather than %, since mixing linear and nonlinear units like db and % is very difficult to compare and last not least, db is the (professional) standard (eg. Peak level, volumne etc always appear as %)
2. Volume slider should move in increments by db instead of %
3. If continuous mode and reshuffle is selected, I would like to have a reshuffle command thrown in after the last song starts, to prevent MJ to play the same sequence over and over again.
4. During xfer to a device I would like have a ability to apply the replay gain value permanent to that file, since most devices do not support it.
