Are MC 9.1 basic functions reliable now?
« on: September 04, 2003, 10:39:02 pm »

As some of you may know I run a multizone system in my house, with two computers running MC, plus one in the Chevy Suburban SUV. This system has worked flawlessly for myself, my son and my wife for a very long time now (probably some time early spring, when MC9 got rid of the final really serious bugs). And the wife part is the most important - it took me several months to make her accept the system, and it does not take many crashes or other kinds of errors before we'll be back to: "Please, honey, I promise it's working again now..." I had more than enough of that back in the bad, old days, when I was running MJB8 on the living room zone and two or three instances of WinAmp (or Brand Eeeech, as I prefer to call that piece of cr...).

So I'm wondering if 9.1 has arrived there now. Can I safely install it on the three systems and expect basic functions, that is playback, CD-burning and basic library management (nothing more advanced than tagging and importing MP3 tracks), to work without hitches? I use regular direct sound, no ASIO, and I don't play any other files than MP3 and WAV (some temporary radio recordings) on this system. So what do you guys say?

All these functions have been stable for ages as far as I'm concerned.  There have been little annoyances and optimizations needed here and there but I can count on 1 hand the number of times MC has crashed in the 4 months I've been using the beta.  I use direct sound too.  An example of the sort of bugs I've been affected by (all now fixed) are:
* CD text not working
* Views not saving sort order when MC is opened and closed.
* Cross fade not working properly

These are hardly likely to throw the missus into a grump!
