Title: Anyway to prevent MC forced version upgrade?
Post by: chrisjj on February 23, 2010, 09:44:25 pm: ... short of disconnecting from the internet?

MC 14.0.140 just forced an upgrade to .147 which here works less well than the original. I want to return to .140.

This is a trial. Does the paid-for licence let me stay on a chosen version?

Thanks.

What do you find particularly bothersome about .147?

Sync marks many more of my tracks as Duplicate, preventing them transferring to the device.

I can see from the excellent change documentation that there are many improvements in .147. I do not mean to suggest it works less well overall for everyone. Just for me, given that the only features I'm using are library import and device sync.

Hmm...and I sync daily sometimes involving hundreds of tracks and have never had a hint of "duplicate" anywhere...what exactly are you seeing and where...?

Are your tracks WMA Lossless? All mine are.

> what exactly are you seeing and where...?

"Status: Duplicate" on some but not all tracks in the Device view.
