JRiver's HDtracks Downloader for Windows -- Available Here
mojave:
I just downloaded Josh Groban's Noel album. I initially placed my order by using the HD Tracks plugin in JRiver. However, it would not launch the downloader using the chromium engine or when I tried directly from a Chrome browser. It does work with IE. It seems HD Tracks is still not using the JRiver downloader. I stopped it and downloaded the latest posted here.
It downloaded all songs except the last two, which showed as failed. I was not able to continue downloading from within the Downloader. I had to exit it and reopen it before the final two songs would download. I think the songs failed because I logged on to the HDTracks in my browser while the download was happening. I then clicked to continue the download to see if it would now use the JRiver Downloader. It started their own downloader again which I think caused the last two songs to fail.

There is a newer build that I just posted in the first thread. The bug you reported was fixed. Thanks.

I sent the following message to HDTracks, but the problem may be with JR's downloading software (Windows version) ...
--- Quote ---Yesterday I purchased 3 HD albums (Order# HD449786), one of which was Paul Simon's "Graceland" which should have come with 17 tracks. In the end, only 16 were downloaded and I'm missing #15 "You can call me Al"
I have no idea what happened. I used the HDTracks downloader that is available via JRiver. It appeared to work perfectly, as if track #15 wasn't made available ... i.e., it never stalled. Hmmmm(?) The downloader implies it was downloaded(?) ... I believe I know what happened. There are 2 versions of "You can call me Al", and your filenames do not include the track#. I believe the #15 track refused to overwrite the #6 track, essentially because both files have the same name. I'll also report this to JRiver ...

Holidays' Cheers & thank you for your excellent support ...

Since the downloader is made by JRiver, perhaps JRiver Media Center could be added to the other media players under the "please choose your default format" section that is setup online in "my account".

Yesterday three of my tracks failed to download. Clicking "Check for new Downloads" did not restart them. I had to restart the HDtracks Downloader in for the failed tracks to download. For many users this probably isn't very intuitive - especially since the HDtracks Downloader opens automatically after a purchase.
I first thought the "Check for new Downloads" (which I doubt will be be used much) should become "Check for new Downloads/Retry failed Downloads". However, "failed" gives a negative impression.
Since a user may need to pause a download, how about having a Pause and Resume button? The Resume button will also restart failed downloads and seems much more intuitive than having to restart the HDtracks Downloader.
