Media Jukebox 8.0.382 is available:

ftp://ftp.jriver.com/pub/downloads/music/MediaJukebox8.exe

History:
1. Fixed: Media Jukebox would fail to play RealPlayer files if RealOne v2 player was installed.
2. Fixed: Media Jukebox was creating Audio CDs with pops and clicks when it was playing and burning simultaneously.
3. Fixed: Media Jukebox was trying to start Download Manager from wrong location.

Bug - tried to burn a data cd and was warned some file names would be truncated.
Said ok then got an error message almost instantly when it started trying to burn saying this file:

Ayia_Napa_The_Album_2001_[CD1]_-_02_-_Cleptomaniacs_-_All_I_Do_(Bump__Flex_Dance_Floor_Mix)_(featuring_Bryan_Chambers).mp3

is too long for iso9660 directory.
I have a feeling it might be the album name itself:
Ayia Napa the Album 2001 (Mixed by Masterstepz)
But I could be wrong and even if I'm not, it's still a bug that it's giving the wrong error message and not truncating the album name.

Oh yeah, and a BIG request,
PLEASE PLEASE give us rules we can use when burning cd's.
Fair enough we have folder rules but I'd like rules similar to 'rename file from properties' that could be used to burn cd's with names different from the ones on the hard drive.
I would for instance burn my cd's with: Track # - Title and put them in folders of Artist - Album
whereas on my computer they are: Artist - album - track # - title.

This would be ESPECIALLY useful at times when it has to truncate the file names.
You'd be the first software I know to offer this and I'm sure people would love it

King,

File names on data CDs can be much, much longer. MJ supports 64-chars using Goldenhawk library and 110-chars using the Generic driver (I create data CDs with 110 char names all the time). Some other CD data burning formats will actually support upto 240 or so characters...I think Nero can burn these type of data CDs.

Actually, it's the other way around (64 chars for generic, 110 for Goldenhawk). Have you verified that Nero can burn longer filenames? I haven't been able to do this. The longest windows compatible file naming scheme on CD is the Joliet standard which is supposed to allow up to 64 character names but can be "tricked" into allowing up to 110 characters.

No. Just install.

JohnT,

Thanks for correcting me...I was just 'winging' it and got it backwards (haha). I'd have to test Nero (again) to be sure...been to long since I used Nero to burn...but, I do remember seeing that option for sure (something about 'relaxed' <something> option).

After upgrading I listened to a couple of songs, then when I clicked to hear web music MJB started playing weird clicks and pops.
After exiting and re-entering it went away for a bit of time then came back when I double clicked a song.

Please fix it quick!

Try setting Options>Playback>Output to DirectSound and then move the slider in Settings all the way to more responsive.

Note to JRiver: This ought to be the default setting for Win2K & XP installations

Bugs:

1. Unable to playback a song after file properties have been edited of the same or different file. Either "stopped" is displayed or the sound is highly distorted. Exiting MJ and reopening it resolves the issue, until another file is edited.

2. Performing replay gain on several tracks results in a progressive slowdown until MJ refuses to perform the procedure on anymore tracks. Replay gain runs fine on those final tracks after MJ is closed and reopened.

I'm running xp and have a Creative Audigy soundcard with the current drivers installed. There's no sound when output is set to DirectSound. If my memory is correct, DirectSound worked before I upgraded to the current driver.

Mine's doing the same. (8.0.382) If I am deleting, or editing songs while listening, seemingly at random it goes to stopped and won't play anymore without exiting and restarting the program. If I double click a song to try to get it to play, it highlights a song 3-4 songs down (not the one I clicked!!) with the speaker icon, but still won't play.

The same here. I think you fixed it a little bit too hard

Sad to report that MJ doesn't check the available space on a drive it is working on, and doesn't report/handle this error correctly.
Two Scenarios:
1. Run replay gain on a drive filled with songs (1000+) with no available space. At some point of analyzing the files, I get an error reported near the file and all of the rest of the files. MJ should tell me that I don't have enough space to write the new tag.
UPDATE: Now that I've vacated some space I still receive error reported on some songs. What is wrong with these files? may MJ tell me what's wrong?

2. In the effort to free some space by converting the APE files to MPC, MJB crashes cause it doesn't have enough space to write the new MPC before deleting the old APE.

I have also noticed a slow-down in the replay gain analyze during later processed files.

I'm having exactly the same problems with version 8.0.382.

DirectSound works fine with the current Creative Audigy driver, though, if you set the bitdepth to 16-bit.

Unskinned MJ with gridlines shown in the view pane are not lining up with the tabs at the top of the columns. This has been around for a while just never thought to mention it.

Also, when no cd is in the drive and CD, DVD, & Handhelds are selected the sequence tab "S" in the view pane is overlapped slightly with ascending/descending arrow.

BUGS
====

(1) When importing or ripping, sometimes phantom files appear in the media library though not on the actual disk. I.e. if I rip x.mp3, I get x showing up twice in the library though it only exists once.

Clicking on the phantom file causes it to jump to the next track-- just a bit disconcerting.

(2) Right click sendto->device->mp3 player doesn't 100% work because if there are multiple drives on the device (or flash cards), it does not give you the option as to which card to send to. Only works if I drag the file explicitly onto the left window pane showing the internal versus external card.

Same here.

Also, if I copy an image in IE (RClick->Copy, paste in Properties inside MJ) I get a solid black box. However, if I paste it in PSP it is fine.

In addition, if I then perform the copy in PSP and then paste in MJ it works properly.

IE has not been updated (and MJ has) between this working and not working.

I've installed 8.0.382 but still cannot play any radio stations that are in Real Audio format. I just keep getting an error dialog stating, "Cannot determine the version of Real Networks Real Player. Real Networks Real Player 6.0 or above must be installed to play the file you selected."

I have RealOne 2.0 Build 6.0.11.818 installed in c:\Real\RealOne\

I have tried uninstalling Media Jukebox and reinstalling, but that didn't cure the problem (even after restarting the PC).

Running Windows 2000 Professional SP1 on a Toshiba Tecra 8100 notebook.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Best regards,
Conrad

When we come out with our own generic burning engine, it will support the same file lengths as Goldenhawk so this won't be an issue anymore. We'll probably have a checkbox somewhere for allowing filenames to be greater than 64 characters since this is the standard and at least one cd driver (zevele's???) didn't like the non-standard 110 character names.

xen-uno · « **Reply #30 on:** October 07, 2002, 12:42:12 pm »

I haven't burnt a data CD thru MJ in a long time. Does a 8.3 format filename still have to be present? I have short filename generation turned off in W2k.

Xenno

edit> What I really meant was...If short filenames are req'd, will it create them on the fly like Easy CD Creator and others?

phelt · « **Reply #31 on:** October 07, 2002, 01:49:49 pm »

About the filename issue - is there a technical reason not to use ISO Level2? This has been supported in Windows since Win95 and allows for filenames up to 256 characters, IIRC. Right now it appears that the only burning engine to include this is Prassi's, but it's a published standard, no?

S Wisdom · « **Reply #32 on:** October 07, 2002, 11:07:54 pm »

it would be nice if you can update all id tags from mj data

and also save in file as name of cd, and not just in artist
