18.0.182 (5/14/2013)
1. Fixed: Tagging in the action window could crash.
18.0.181 (5/10/2013)
1. Fixed: Some m4a and alac files would not import or play because of a mismatched sample count in the mp4 STTS header. We now ignore this error since it shouldn't impact playback performance.
2. Fixed: Radio streams would 'click' every few seconds because metadata was not getting parsed out of the stream.
18.0.180 (5/8/2013)
1. Fixed: Tooltips were not showing properly in the last few builds.
2. Fixed: Clicking away from an in-place list edit control would not reliably stop the editing.
3. Fixed: DoP bitstreaming of DSD was not working with some devices.
4. Fixed: Hardware with complex buffer arrangement could crash when playing to only some of the channels.
5. Changed: Updated German language file (thanks Bytestar).
6. Changed: Updated Polish translation (thanks Janusz Grzybek).
7. Changed: Czech language translation updated (thanks Johnny B).
18.0.179 (5/7/2013)
1. Changed: Main windows are no longer marked as 'not opaque' (as this could cause performance issues on some machines).
2. Fixed: The 'Tempo & Pitch' DSP plugin was causing crashes during playback.
3. Fixed: Metadata in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. was not displaying correctly - just drawing square boxes.
4. NEW: Added support for play / pause, previous, next, and volume media keys[.
5. Changed: 3GA files are treated like AAC / MP4 audio files, so they can import, play, and tag.
6. Fixed: Using the popup expression editor from an in-place expression editor in options could lead to a crash.
7. Fixed: The mouse controls could become unavailable with certain types of displays in Display View with build 178.

Still can consistently crash with Gizmo. After the crash, I have to relaunch and then most of time I can't reconnect the tablet to MC -- takes many many tries.
Would the report generated be useful if I pasted it in?
-
The field "Date Created" is overwritten with the current Date/Time when files are tagged.
This is true for all versions of MC Mac since the first one.
Happens on MacMini, MacBook and iMac on OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.5.
-
Playing WebRadio stations crackles and makes strange sounds for every station i hear.
The same stations work perfectly in iTunes.

I spoke too soon... crash while playing & tagging mp3s, specifically when I selected the "encoding settings"... sent you the crash log.

Can you post a couple station links for us to try?

Sure, it is a pleasure :-).
Here are some of them, but none of my whole collection plays without permanent errors:

These all sound great to me listening with build 182. Except my high school German from decades ago doesn't allow me to understand the announcers :(
Is there anything unusual with your audio settings that I should test here?
-
I got a "MC quit unexpedly" error when I closed MC via its
- corner. It was not 182, rather 181 ... but that thread is closed, and I don't see where you've addressed it in the 182 release. See attached ...
HTH :)

Cannot install a plugin (FabFilter Pro-Q).... JRiver attempts to open an installer package and stops working. Immediately looks in my Documents folder for the plugin but stops there with a spinning ball. Is this feature working?
