The following bugs deals with streaming audio. These bugs are in this version and also in the lastest v9 preview version. Please consider fixing these bugs. I'll take this step by step so there's no confusion.
Step 1: First we need a streaming audio file. I personally like Club977 so we'll use this one for display purposes. File/Open Streaming File...:
http://club977.com/CLUB977HI.plsStep 2: Once the tunes start playing, head on over to "Playing Now". From here, choose the "Clean-n-Tidy II" visualization.
Bug #1: If you will noticed, the remaining_time in this visualization is counting up. If you have remaining_time in the Player Window, this will return LIVE instead.
Step 3: I have all my streaming audio playlists imported into the library. Need to do this next.
Bug #2a: Once imported, take a look at the "Location" field in the Tree View pane. All streaming audio files have "(unassigned)". Not really a problem in v8, but nothing shows when clicking on it.
Bug #2b: Clicking on "(unassigned)" in v9 will crash it.
Bug #2c: Using the "Volume Name" view scheme, these will show as "HT" Not really sure if it's a bug. I would think HTTP.
Bug #3: This type of streaming audio has ID tags shown with the music. Visualizations (including Track Info & Slide Show) won't update when the name has changed even though the Player window does.
Step 4: I like to rename the Artist/Album to reflect what I'm listening to. So in this case the Artist would be Club977 and the Album would be 128k.
Bug #4a: When renaming any of these field, an error comes up and says the tag cannot be renamed. File is in use/Read-Only.
Bug #4b: This hold true in v9 except this also comes up everytime you switch views..like from Playing Now.
Bug #5: I use Replay-Gain for my files. Sometimes a streaming audio file gets in there. This is bad as it will never end. I don't know what would happen if it got into a CD-Burn (Audio) process.
Bug #6: When using "Update Library..." from the file menu and choosing "Files that don't exist", these files get deleted from the database yet they technically exist.
-
This is a partial list. I am most likely forgetting some. Please take the time to fix these. If not v8, hopefully for v9.
I've been using Slide Show for the last couple days and if it would update when the tags change, that would be really cool (bug#3).
Thanks for listening.
