1. Changed: Improved messaging when attempting to tag read-only files.
2. Fixed: The File > Open File... dialog was not allowing selection of files.

2. NEW: DLNA working as a server, controller and renderer. Note, you'll likely have to reset your settings if you didn't already in build 18.0.150, there are bad uuids in there. The easiest way to do this is to rename or remove the "~/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 18/Settings" either from a terminal window or the finder after unhiding the ~/Library directory.
3. NEW: WebRemote applications working (Gizmo, JRemote, MyRiver, etc)

18.0.150 (3/14/2013)

2. NEW: Media Network (DLNA, Library Server, JRemote, etc.) available in options (still a work in progress).
3. NEW: MP3 encoding added.
4. NEW: Added configurable 'Channel offset' to Options > Audio > Output mode settings to allow targeting channels starting at something other than 1 (useful with pro / studio devices).

6. NEW: Added support for DSD bitstreaming using DoP.
7. Changed: Switched the timeout to April 16.
8. NEW: Wake On Lan implemented on Mac.

2. Changed: Double-click, escape, etc. work on the playback display to exit Display View.
3. Fixed: Using some tools like Analyze Audio and Get Cover Art could prevent the program from closing even if they were no longer running.

18.0.143 (3/5/2013)

1. Fixed: Removed printing options from menu as they are not available yet on Mac and could cause a crash.
2. Changed: Changed text and link on "Help -> Registration Info" pop-up to reflect timeout and no license needed.

18.0.140 (2/25/2013)

1. Fixed: The program would not run on systems without SSE 4.1 support.
2. Changed: Retooled SSE assembly everywhere in the program so that SSSE 3 is the low-water mark for SSE acceleration (previously SSE 4.1 was required in most places to get acceleration).
3. Fixed: Thread priorities were not implemented fully on Mac.

18.0.139 (2/22/2013)

1. Fixed: Wrong options file was being used in the 138 build resulting in frequent crashes.

1. NEW: Added support for Core Audio exclusive output in Options > Audio > Output mode settings (enabled by default).
2. Fixed: Memory playback was not working properly.
3. Fixed: Plugins were not working because working path was not being set, this caused playback to fail.

18.0.137 (2/21/2013)

When i try to import tracks (mp3, aiff, alac) MC crashes and can not be restarted.
I discovered that if I delete the file mediafiles.jmd in the library folder then MC can be restarted.

That doesn't apply to wav tracks that can be imported and played w/o problems.
All tracks can be opened and played as single file.

10.6.8
2Ghz Intel core duo
2Gb mem
MC 0.162

Thanks.

Hi Matt

Thanks, Files are now showing in tree and expand to album level.

However, as I reported in the latest stable Windows build thread, I now see a ghost folder below each album in the library entitled WAV, this is in both the Windows and now Mac versions. This only occurs under the ‘Files’ category.

I will attempt to see if I can post a screenshot. This will be of the Windows version as I am still learning how to do this on a Mac.

That's because your view is:
Location \ File Type

So after location, it shows a list of file types.

You can customize the view fully by clicking the root 'Files', the picking View > Customize View... (also available in the view header menu).

Thanks Matt – that sorted it. This only appeared when I updated to latest stable build (Windows) never saw it before that. Seeing it in the Mac built I thought an error had crept in. I clearly have a lot to learn yet about this grand program.
