Only IPOD, WMDM, and Nomad Jukebox players currently work (for Nomads, please install new plug-in 9.0.33). Tread lightly if handheld support is important to you.10.0.71 (2/16/03)
1. Fixed: Track artist names in CD-Text were not being read properly for CD's new to MC.
2. Changed: Using the smartlist "No Duplicates" shuffles before running so there aren't a lot of track #1 files.

3. Fixed: Smartlists wouldn't update on-the-fly while editing them.
