Thanks Wile E. One and Sauzee. Thanks for the confirmation, I know it wasn't just me, at least now J River know too.
At least one (or more) of the posts from way back would have been mine, but nothing was resolved then. I like the DFX plug-in, and prefer it to the MJ/MC one. I realise this is a personal preference. I also like to use it when I convert some MP3's to burn on an audio CD.
Needless to say to do this I don't use MJ/MC, but rather Musicmatch Jukebox to make the 'enhanced' wavs, then Feurio to burn them.
In fact I do all my music stuff outside of MJ/MC, which I really only use to play files. I have the Albumview plug-in, and I use Glissando, an excellent add-on to display cover art and tracks from a distance. I rip with EAC, use Lame 3.90.2 (Razorlame interface), manage my tags with Tag & Rename, burn with Feurio. I also use PsychicMP3 to help rename via the Internet.
And all my images, movies are handled by specific programs. Movie viewing by Sigma X-card with JovePlayer on TV, images displayed that way too.
Until just recently I was using MJ8, which was OK to play back the files (supported heavily by Albumview and Glissando). There were two annoying bugs with this, one was the DSP 'pop', the other a bug in MJ8 (still there) where if you go and grabbed a few albums for your playlist, then shuffled the order, the current track playing info was incorrect till it got to the next song. This made Glissando incorrect as well.
I only went to MC9 a month ago, because the writing was on the wall for MJ8. Now I understand MC10 is the flavour, and I was appalled to read a post from a moderator the other day saying the latest MC10 Beta was more stable than this Just Released (as advertised) MC9.1
All I want MJ/MC to do is play back my files.
No ripping, burning, tagging, converting, CD playing, movie watching etc etc. which is why it is so annoying that the DSP plug-in is not correctly supported.
And why I find it so rude to be visually hit in the face by the DSP plug-in banner everytime I go onto the site, when I know full well that it doesn't work as it should.
