A few possible bugs:

1.  MC closes if I cancel sync to Zen.

2.  Rip Progress indicator does not reset for each file being ripped.

3.  When ripping a CD, the status column will not autosize to include percentage ripped.  I have the Autosize columns checked under Options\tree & view\list.

Thanks.

I'd love to see a few more Theatre view commands programmable on remotes as well. Playing now, start selection, stop selection, enqueue, and perhaps a list/thumbnails toggle, if possible.

Brian,

I can not duplicate the Zen issue. Do you see this everytime? At what point in the sync are you cancelling, at the beginning, middle or near the end?

Morning Steve,
I'm in the middle of syncing about 4000 files to my zen.  I'll go into Drives & Devices, right click NOMAD Jukebox and select synchronize files.  The Synchronize Handheld Player window comes up.  I select Synchronize all files and Delete unselected from HH.  Sync data to MC is unchecked.  Then I click start and the file conversion process starts.  I just recently converted all my file from WMA lossless to APE.  For the handheld, I'm forcing conversion to VBR WMA Normal/High.  Conversion seems to be working fine and transfers to the Zen are working fine.  If I hit cancel at any time,  MC just closes down, every time.  This is on my home machine which has WinXP Home edition and I'm running SP2 RC1.  Thanks Steve.  Again, this could be a SP2 problem in which case you may not want to spend time troubleshooting unless it happens on the "real" release of SP2.

Well, I finally got around to upgrading my well behaved version 9.0.  And...  Weird problem.  

When I attempt to import files from ..\My Music folder (one that I always initially use and rip to, before moving files to other folders), 10.0.130 finds about 2,776 of what I can only describe as ghost files (after the scan results say 448 files scanned and 2,776 found!).  They might have been there once but have not been for a long time.  Clicking on them gives a dialog saying they cannot be found.  They appear with the Red X next to them.  Most are located (correctly, that is, where I pointed to scan) in the My Documents folder, though some are in a Z:\Full Albums2 (I have no such drive or folder) folder or a weird location e.g., Audio CD (3)\Temp\Post CD's\.. or Audio CD (3)\Radiohead..  These last "Audio CD" do not have a Red X next to them...

I delete them from the library only, but on re-importing they all reappear.  This only happens when I scan ..\My Music\ folder.  I have attempted to Clean Up the library, but this does not help.

I tried that, which is what I meant by Clean Up the library, with no luck (I have both boxes checked under Clean Up and Do Not Update Database Fields checked).

Still this bug's in:
- backing up doesn't back up all the latest changes

Here's what I've had many times since the latest 10-20 versions.
- I have a playlist
- I edit the lyrics and rating of a song
- I remove the song from the playlist
- I edit another set of lyrics/rating of another song
- I remove this song too from the playlist
- I back up
- I restore
- The two songs are still in the playlist, but.... the changes made to the lyrics and to the rating are good! Now that's funny.

All in all: the backup can't be trusted.

Brian,

The close after cancel of conversion issue should go away in the next build.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Matt, I was back on 28
