1. Changed: Refined
mp4/m4a tag reader so it will get more precise bitrate values. It will also handle very large files (ones requiring 64bit integers).

3. Changed: Added support for some additional ID3v2.2 frames.

1. Fixed: The statusbar could show that a page was loading indefinitely when using the Internet Explorer engine.
2. Fixed: The minimize and close buttons could overlap on a skin that used different sizes for the buttons when a frame had no maximize button.
3. Fixed: It was not possible to seek
ALAC files.
4. Fixed: An undo operation (ctrl-z) on a rename of a stacked file would not work for the underlying stacked files.
5. Fixed: A rename operation on a stacked file that was named differently from the stack top file would show an incorrect error message.

M4A files would not play properly.
16.0.55 (3/18/2011)
1. Changed: Improved support for skins that have a border above the main menu (specified with Toolbars::TopBar::OffsetY in the skin).
2. Fixed: FLAC seeking did not support block accurate seeks, so CUE playback or conversion could be misaligned by a fraction of a second.

16.0.54 (3/18/2011)
Internal build

1. NEW:
Artist image views perform better (artist images are now imported as hidden database records so they leverage the existing thumbnail system, etc.).
2. NEW: Artist image views will show full resolution images when zooming in on the thumbnails (right-click thumbnail size slider to toggle one artist per page mode).

11. Fixed: In some cases,
ripping could start with the second track[ instead of the first track.
12. Fixed: When using the IE engine, if you had a browser on a tab you never viewed, the web sandbox for that tab would not shutdown gracefully (but instead get hard killed).

14. Fixed: The new mp4/m4a tagging system did not read replay gain data into MC's replaygain fields.
