This works again!!  Thanks...

One minor thing -- the file that MC saved is slightly larger than the one at the URL that was pasted in (37,344 bytes in the original; 44,987 bytes in the file saved by MC).  Looks like MC may still be re-encoding.

Bug using Remote Desktop in Windows XP:

I'm almost always connected to my server through RD, and it's a convenient way to change tunes / fix tags from the laptop.

In the last builds (like 50 builds back or so), when you drag a file in any list (I'm mostly using Playing now, but the bug works in other lists as well), the marker representing the file is way off. How much depends on how fast you move your mouse when left-clicking the file.

Library Browser:

Clicking on the link "Albums" for a given Artist opens the "Albums" list scrolled to the bottom of the list instead of at the top. The "Tracks" list gets, however, scrolled correctly.
