Hmmmmm!!
I have noticed the same problem using both ver8 and ver9 which is very sad.....
i was put in touch with this s/w as am looking for the very features included in this package for entertianment system am building for house.. liked the fact can use IR as want to control it via philips pronto, liked db functioality and fact u can use with tv card BUT am put off by this very problem!!!
what i can add is that am running under XP pro on a asus mobo with nForce chipset and built in mp3 hardware have XP2600+ shed loadsa mem ata133 hard drive and audigy plat soundcard so that considered and the fact as others have mentioned i dont get prob using mediaplayer, winamp or others can only conclude prob is software dependent..........
If anyone can prove otherwise or suggest a fix would be more then
