Just a note that this build bumps the database version, so you can't roll back to a previous MC 11.1 build without a backup.

The links on the thumbnails for view's that have a lot of panes are unreadable.
I have 9 panes, and the links looks like:

P. O. A A A F.. F. T... F..

 
Also, I keep wanting to click on a tile, that should do something.... 

[JaredH]

I'm usually very wordy, but to save time and energy...

Having to set all of my view schemes to "Files" only to have them reset themselves back to "Graphical View" is NOT cool. Whether a bug, or by design. This happens whenever I do a "Save for this location and similar locations" in "Customize Current View"

On a lighter note, the database seems to be moving at a much faster pace since the Media Library/Library Browser merger.

[GHammer]

I like the way the library browser is working in this version.
Even I can navigate easily! 

[danrien]

yeh i really like how all the views have been substantially "quickened" up.  i actually found myself using the tree moments ago!

[avpman]

What happened to the link in the Album View that allowed me to pick how I wanted them ordered? In particular order by date last imported. Also, I'm not able to see a list of Albums in "Detail" mode. I'd like to see a non-graphical listing of all the Albums.

Thanks for fixing the truncating of playtime when converting to MP3 using Library Server.

In the main audio screen, for some reason it changed the list style to tiled view and I can't change it back to the normal way it looked before: listed details with my regular columns at the top.  If I click on customize current view and try to change it from tiled, it doesn't change.

[Dutch Peter]

I think a got a bug:

Use the new Media Browser and select Genres from the drop-down.
Select a Genre and click on the 'play'-option.
Then stop the player.
If you start the player again it plays the whole library.

[MusicHawk]

There's a Player bug in 11.1.75 that seems to affect any view. Play anything except the first record. Click Stop in the Player, then click Play again. The Player jumps to the FIRST record in the view and plays that! It seems the Player's "current record" pointer isn't working.

Did you try changing to "files" in the dropdown menu (it might be at artist or album) now at the top of the media browser?

I have the same problem. My custom views are intended to display and let me work with very large lists of records/files; there are few if any graphics, and it's no help to see them instead of the actual data. This was working fine until 11.1.75.

Now, I can't get rid of Tile view, no matter what I select in the UI or view design. I can switch from Tile to showing Files, but then when I leave and come back, it's back to tiles. Also, setting the view to show files, then saving the view design for itself and children, doesn't help. I get tiles everywhere.

I hope this is a bug rather than an intentional change, because the value of MC to me is as a powerful database, not as a viewer of cover art graphics. I need to reliably see and work with the data and not have MC keep trying to show me something else instead.

[Mr ChriZ]

Despite the options being checked in the option panel
MC neither automatically rips when a CD is inserted
(It pops up a box asking if the CD should be ripped, then doesn't actually do so...)
nor does it automatically get cover art after ripping the album...
Requesting the cover art afterwards does work however...

[Dutch Peter]

It seems that tagging the current song in playing is not going ok.

After switching to the next song, the tag is not updated.

When closing MC a message is shown that the file could not be updated.

After starting MC the tag seems updated anyway.

seeing the same here too.

what are your encoding settings? I reported this back a couple of versions ago. If you are ripping to a single file (advanced ripping options->file management) it won't automatically download the coverart. See: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=30461.0

I'm ripping to APE files, not singular.  Secure copy mode, with option to Rip from
2 drives at once with 2 processes with Encode on the fly, although last rip only came from one drive with nothing happening in the other.

-Updated with more of AvpMans extra info request...

Ripping to APE here also. The auto-rip has needed some work (IMHO) and the developers seem to be knocking the bugs out one by one. I'd recommend you post screenshots of your rip option settings. Also, do you have the "Encode on the fly" option checked or unchecked? I had a multiple drive rip problem that was solved by checking (enabling) that option.

I second that. I would really like to see a detail listing of my albums (w/o graphics) and be able to sort by any one of title, last played, genre, date of import, etc.
