Multiple issues with MC16 beta 16.0.39

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pegritz:
Well, I'm not about to switch away from a trusted security solution just for a media player--and why a media player would have deleterious interactions with an antivirus solution is utterly beyond me. Exactly none of the other apps on my system experience any kind of strange behaviour, so I think I'm going to hedge my bets now and just give MC16 a pass. I've never had ANY kind of problems with MediaMonkey. I think this experience has confirmed what I believed about MC13 or 14: that it's just a buggy piece of crap. I'd seek a refund but, honestly, I don't think the effort would be worth it.

harrydr:
Hello user Pegritz same complaints on my side. Also have problem changing from speaker to headphone. Hope we get fixed it. If not will go back to version 15 or some other media player (lot out there now)

JimH:
Believe whatever you want.  I'm just saying it will probably turn out to be one like this:

MrC:
Pegritz, these types of problems can occur, for may reasons, and may not have anything to do with MC in particular; rather, it can be just an unlucky combination of issues.  Unfortunately, with the state of complexity with today's OS' and software, all we users can do is create and test hypothesis until the problem is uncovered.

There are some more things to consider.  If you're still in the game, drop a response...

The sad reality for most trouble-shooting situations is the most significant factor in determining when or if a solution will be found are the user's beliefs and attitudes. I'm sure most of us have had thoughts like "this is a buggy piece of crap" or "this shouldn't be happening" or "it can't be caused by this or that." The best thing to do when that happens is to take a break and let it pass. If the thoughts are allowed to persist, they'll result in irrational choices and failure. Judging an application that works flawlessly for thousands of other users "a buggy piece of crap" is not rational or helpful. Ignoring the impact of other things installed on the system because they are trusted—and yet are known to cause similar problems—is contrary to any effective troubleshooting procedure.

Such thoughts can make other rational decisions difficult or impossible. The best media manager available is not necessarily for everyone. A less feature-rich, easier-to-use application may be a better choice for some. But you don't want to make the decision to switch only to discover an alternative doesn't have the features or capability you require, and/or simply redefines what is truly "a buggy piece of crap."
