Post by: Harry_The_Hipster on February 26, 2003, 02:36:22 pm: Still can't connect with yrs. In fact, MC 121 crashes when I try to access your library from Library Manager. Immediately tells me 'cannot connect with server'.

Same problem with my own. On opening, flashes 'Can't Connect With Server' and reverts to previous library. On one attempt, received the 'Critical Error/Reinstall' message mentioned in another thread, but MC reloaded again on the enxt try without my having to do that.

On a brighter note, 121 converts APEs to mp3 VBRs using the LAME external encoder without a hiccup.

yes and it does not look like crap also

Some hard work for sure.

I guess we will need to wait for Gateley to get back from Whale hunting.

I heard he has a Big Harpoon
