Please make sure you reboot your PC if you prompted to do that by InstallWizard.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: Old style Media Jukebox 8.0 licenses (MediaJukebox8.rrg) will not work with this build.  They can be exchanged for a new one by providing your e-mail receipt (should have come from "buy-button @ jriver.com" ).  FORWARD TO music @ jriver.com.  Version 7 licenses CANNOT BE UPGRADED but will work with version 8.0.

Please back up your library and your license (version 7 licenses only; version 8 licenses can be restored from our web page -- see the FAQ for more info).

Looks like the crashing on start-up is a thing of the past.  Crashed right after install but rebooted and been working fine since.  Also, MJ is much faster.  Maybe a little issue with library but I did really purge after a complete manual uninstall after the crashing issues about 3 or 4 builds earlier but need to look further.  May be the way a few albums are named.  Good work.

I can play tracks with "´" characters in them now, thank you!  I was going to rename them all but I never got around to it.

Remy, (Michel, right?)  Thanks for letting us know.  I played your track 50 times today.  Testing it found another bug, and fixing that took some deep thought.  It probably fixed are overall playback stability, so a big Thanks.

Not that I haven't been accused of having multiple personalities before, but there are really two of us this time. I complained specifically about the "´" character.  Michel sent you the file with the international characters in it that highlighted the more general problem.

Sorry, I wasn't sure.  But the character problem lead us to the playback solution, so I'm still grateful.
