Thanks for fixing Media Scheduler command retention in version 276! Totally awesome!

However I still see a problem with Random play in 276 and 277 that I do not see in version 9.0:

When you double click on an .m3u file (MP3 playlist) or if you launch a playlist using Media Scheduler as follows:

/Play TREEPATH=Playlists\mixes\<playlist name>

The playlist will not load Randomly even with Random turned on.

Isn't that normally installed in your windows\system32 directory?  It is on my system. <shrug>

Sorry... 9.1.277 didn't work out for me. I lost the ability to power-rip, getting this message:

(http://www.eldoradosoft.com/temp/MC91-007.gif)

The release notes for 9.1.276 indicated the resizing of the Tag Info box had been addressed. Here are the three images I provided when posting the bug report:

(http://www.eldoradosoft.com/temp/MC91-002a.gif)     (http://www.eldoradosoft.com/temp/MC91-003a.gif)     (http://www.eldoradosoft.com/temp/MC91-004a.gif)

I did note a change in .277 - the Tag Info box always appears as in the leftmost image. It looks like there are two unused field areas. The rightmost picture (from .275) shows what seems to be one unused field area. My expanded Tree View was covered by the Tag Info box, so I expected the Tag Info box to configure itself as small as possible while showing all the Tag fields. It would be best if the Tag Info box had no unused field areas whatsoever... can the unused space be reclaimed?

I'm re-ripping my collection using Digital Secure mode, so I'm processing a lot of CDs. I don't want to run without power-ripping, and I wanted to ensure that .277 was the cause of the problem, so I re-installed the .275 release. I am once again able to power-rip, so the problem's definitely in MC9 .277 rather than my system.

I'm going to stay with .275 because I want to be productive. However, I'll watch your release notes every day, and load a new beta when I see the problem has been addressed. Thx, Randy

When highlighting more than one song from the same album, the "image" page of the Action Window no longer shows the picture, but rather just says "inside file."  This is not how it worked a few releases ago, where as long as it was the same image file, highlighting more than one song on the same album would continue to show the actual image.

Also, when I posted about allowing the AW to be assigned a default page (or allowing it to return to the last used page the way it used to work) most people agreed that this would be a desireable feature to add and/or bring back.  In fact, NOBODY disagreed that the way it used to work was better.  Is there any chance that this feature will be added/returned?

Thanks,

Larry

I noticed this, too. Any chance of this getting fixed?

Any reason that when basing a View Scheme from a playlist, and then trying to use ~sort=[Artist],[Year],[Album],[Track #] it would result in an empty View Scheme? If I remove the ~sort line from the view scheme definition, everything shows up ok.

Scratch that, I figured out what I was doing wrong.

I do have another question\"bug report", though. When I try to sort by [Album Artist (auto)],[Date (year)],[Album],[Track #],[Name] it works fine as long as I'm in Details view. When I switch to Album Thumbnails, it automatically just sorts by [Album Artist (auto)],[Album] and ignores all of the year stuff. This means I can't have a nice sorted view of my albums sorted by date of release, only alphabetically. Is that right? Can it be "fixed"/changed?

Doof, are you saving the sort view before switching? It seems to stay in the correct order here from what I can see.

I've been ripping away all night from drives G: and H: using the .275 release. The first rip, there's a check box available for every track. After that, as long as you add tracks to the rip queue before it's done ripping, it usually doesn't have a check box for each track. But sometimes it does:

(I'm only using .275 cuz .277 won't power-rip)

out-of-proc only works once

if I start MC and then my c# application, everything is OK.

if I stop my application and start it again, it never allows a second connection
mj=new MediaJukebox.MJAutomation(); fails...

A minor point I know but I'm still having CD text problems on burning audio CDs.

Last night I put together a playlist of 100 tracks by various artists - all exactly the same file type etc - to burn on 4 CDs. The editable (?) CD text - Artist, CD Title - worked fine for all 4 CDs but the track names only worked on the first CD I burnt. The other 3 had track names that were completely garbled.

This problem has been around for a good few weeks now.
Title: MC ought to check for space
Post by: nivw on October 15, 2003, 06:21:11 am
I used the rename from properties to move 166 files to a differnet drive. After about 140, the space on the distination drive ran out. MC poped a window asking to clean up space or forget about it. it did this for all the 20 songs left.
Please fix this by:
1. checking to see if the distination has enough space
2. if space rans out clicking one button to cancell all the rest of the files being prosessed.

I'll try that when I get home.
