Quick check shows no problems. Looks fixed.

>>5. Fixed: Add to Playing Now > Play Next wasn't working properly.
Don't know about this specific instance. Shell integration -> Media Center - > Play is not replacing files, it inserts them into Playing Now and plays at that point. Shell -> Add to Playing Now works fine.

im not sure if it started in 260 or 261 but fade out now doesnt work. it will take all the time that a fade would but doesnt actually execute the fade. ie you press stop and it wont let you do anything while the music continues (and doesnt fade) and then stops abruptly while the program still won't let you control it like i should if it was actually fading.

Still having very basic play back issue.  This problem is introduced from 9.1.259 like I described
http://www.musicex.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=MediaCenter;action=display;num=1064441905

When MC9.1 finishes one APE song and switches to next APE, it repeats very short period of the end of first song about 2 seconds (this was like 4 seconds on 259.  It becomes little shorter but... it's clearly not the correct way to solve this problem).

I'm using corss-fade (aggressive) with gapless option.  Even if I use gapless instead of cross-fade, it does the same thing.  MC9.1.257 didn't have this problem.  
The remedy of this problem is... re-installation 9.1.257 over 261.

I'm not sure why this problem is left open this long.  ?

When syncing the iPod (don't know about other portable devices), where the "space left on device" display appears, there's a load of spurious text followed by the actual amount.  Was fine in previous versions.

EDIT:  There's also something REALLY odd going on with syncing which I think was introduced in .260.  New files sync'd to the iPod are appearing twice in the list when viewed through Media Center.  Yet they don't appear on the iPod menu itself.

When looking at this in Media Center, one instance of the song appears to be in the "All Music" playlist and one does not.  Attempting to delete the entries which are NOT in "All Music" (directly from the iPod via MC) results in a File Error 2 - deletion error, which suggests they are not real tracks.

Deleting the "real" versions of these tracks and leaving the "false" versions (again, directly from the iPod via MC) works OK.  Doing a further sync after this copies the tracks back from the PC to the iPod, but they still do not appear on the iPod's menu.

Jeez - what a mess.  :)  I'm going back a couple of versions till this is resolved. :)

EDIT 2: Even going back to an earlier version (259) does not allow me to remove these files.  I really do not want to have to reload my entire iPod. :(

Kind of, but not really...now it just shows part of a 'blank' list row (can happen if track # 1 in list is shown too):

6. Fixed: Clicking on subfolder of Removable Drive player will not crash.

Now MC crashes when clicking on the driver letter (under CD, DVD & Handhelds)...problem is worse, can't even see the subfolders now.
