Bug or me?
If my 'Playing Now' is populated with m4a files and is paused, clicking on next (or double clicking on another track in the playlist) hangs MC 15.0.31.
To see the play/pause characteristics I tried some scenarios with mixtures of mp3 and m4a files. These both assume that play is paused before clicking <Next> or before double clicking on another file.
Alternating mp3 and m4a files:
Going to an mp3 worked fine, but going to an m4a caused MC to hang and display "waiting" in the title bar. Clicking <Play> would then play the previous mp3 song for a couple of seconds, play would then cease and display "buffering" in the title bar. Clicking <Play> again would then play the m4a file. The same thing would happen if an mp3 is paused and I double click on an m4a file.
Consecutive m4a files:
Going from a paused m4a file, clicking <Next> will hang MC. Then, clicking anything will cause MC to crash.
I tried this with both Haali Media Splitter and DC-Bass source filters.
