1. NEW: The MCWS function to play the JRiver radio will accept "Try Me", "Eclectic", "Classical", "Jazz", and "Rock" as station names and play those stations.
2. Fixed: Dragging Direct Show DSP filters to a differt place in the list could crash.
3. Changed: The increments for the mouse wheel in Room Correction for the speaker distance are now 0.1 ft or 0.01 meters.

7. Fixed: JRWorker would crash trying to save settings on exit causing re-evaluated video files (when auto-import enabled) and new video files to be misidentified as non-video files.
25.0.80 (7/19/2019)
1. NEW: Added an experimental 3.1 output mode to JRSS (enabled with PCM or Dolby Digital). Feedback appreciated.
2. Changed: Tuned the display of audio formats in Audio Path so the display is "5.1 channels", etc. instead of "6 channels" when it's in that mode.
3. Changed: Transcoding video will ensure the result fits inside the selected resolution, instead of exceeding it in some cases, improving playback compatibility with a variety of devices.
4. Changed: TCP sockets could have hung to partially dead devices, added a write timeout.
5. Changed: When a TCP connection is closed because of a cancel, force the connection to be broken down immediately.
6. Changed: The player window only leaves space for artwork when playing (so the space goes away when stopped).
7. Changed: Minor tuning to the player window artwork display position.
8. Changed: Renamed the player menu choice to "Left Align Artwork" so it matches with the on and off wording.
9. Changed: Made toggling zones forward and back (Ctrl+T, etc.) go in the display order instead of the order created.
10. Changed: Made the center channel adjustment also enable for 2.1 playback.
11. NEW: Made the tooltip for the taskbar popup contain the artist and name of the playing track.

20. NEW: The Q factor can be set for low and high pass filters in Parametric Equalizer.
21. Changed: Made the default search for the new Cloud Play option the same as the default Play Doctor search.
22. Changed: When starting Play Doctor with a search that has no matches in the library, it will message instead of playing random files.
23. Changed: When MC fails to read any 'mdat' atom from mp4/m4a/m4v/mov files using its regular method, usually due to bad 'free' atoms in the files, it will try scanning the files for such atoms.
24. Fixed: Not all playlists would show in the Tag Action Window after a recent optimization.
25.0.75 (7/9/2019)
1. Fixed: Converting with an external coder to M4A could lead to a crash.

9. Fixed: The optimization to library fields would cause drop list edit types to fill with only some of the values.
10. Changed: Opened Cloud Play up to trial users.

12. Faster: In-place editing in a huge library is faster.
13. Faster: Enumerating playlists is faster which helps things like Options search with a huge number of playlists.

1. Fixed: Tagging widows that did an auto-select and included a suggestion box could lose focus causing the backspace key to jump back in the UI instead of performing a backspace.

12. Changed: Added a message when iTunes playlist import finishes with the number of playlists and directions about where to find them (or an error if no playlists were found).

14. Fixed: Pressing Shift+Delete in Playing Now would crash.
15. Changed: Made artist image lookup key into the fact that it's a music artist a little better (so playing bands with animal names, etc. will show better matches).
