0006234: System freezes when accessing inserted CD on some particular Windows 7 systems

We have one report from user on system Windows 7, 1 HD (C Intel Core/TM)2
Quad CPU 2.66Ghz, Ram 4 GB, 1DVD +- RW (D HL-DT-ST DVD +- RW GH50N (a Dell
standard DVD rom reader for Optiplex 960)

Everything goes well but when he tries to listen to a CD or when he clicks
on computer \ d: in the MediaMonkey tree the computer freezes. MM window
can't be closed and the computer cannot be shut down (the only way is to
press phiscally the on/off button. He can listen, rip etc CDs with ITunes
and Windows media player. The problem is in the PrimoBurner engine itself
(we sent to user your ReadCDText sample app to confirm).

I solved it with PrimoBurner and they are releasing 3.0.5 tomorrow. It fixes the problem described (Bug 1546
below).

0006254: Burning Audio CD takes 8 hours on particular HP/Windows 7 system

We have one report from user Craig (Ticket ID ENZ-224979) who purchased a new Windows 7 (64 bit) computer on which burning an audio CD takes 8 hours. He tried also PrimoBurner's AudioCDBurnerU sample app and the result is same (PrimoBurner.log is attached). The issue is drive specific. He tried iTunes and there was no problem with burning the same playlist by using the same drive.

Solving with PrimoBurner...

0006285: Blackberry sync

MediaMonkey can currently sync to most blackberry devices, however:
a) it requires that the user set masks in a specific manner (i.e. confusing for the average user)
b) playlists aren't synced in a manner that the blackberry understands

Note: in order to sync to a Blackberry device, the device must first be configured as a USB MS Device.

Ideally:
i) MM should have a sync profile that would be used whenever a blackberry device is detected
ii) MM's playlist sync functionality would be expanded to support the type of format required by the blackberry (related to 0006255)

0006295: Online Radio playback: Player Events are not trigered when track name is changed For Radio Station stream

OnPlay event should be generated in Case of player Title Changes when radio station stream support it on track change.

Example Radio station is http://www.japanaradio.com/ [^] (TUNE IN -> MP3 DSL 64k)

Note that Player is working and reset track playback on each track change.

0006291: Milkdrop causes MM crash while debugging

On Delphi 2010 and Win 7 while running MM in debugger, simply a click on the list of visualizations causes MM to crash (about 80% of time). I found out that it's caused by MilkDrop dll, which is loaded and unloaded at this moment. I added a short time solution to WinAmpPlugins.pas unit (see SVN commit) that prevents this by not unloading the dll, however we should locate the problem and fix it in Milkdrop.

0006294: Add clipboard support

VBScript doesn't have clipboard support so it would be nice with a native MM script method to access the clipboard.

0006293: Last.fm plugin: Scrobbling not working ofor some users when changed Regional Settings

Few users reported that no scrobblings are passed to last.fm if UK regional time is used.

0006292: Spectrum for visualization plug-ins isn't correctly generated by MM

As reported in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=47110 [^] , the spectrum generated by MM is incorrectly clipped.

0006290: Set Destination Wizard do not work correctly when used with specific complex Masks

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Right click on One track -> Auto-Organize
2. Paste this Mask into mask field "$assign(A,$MovePrefix())$assign(AA,$MovePrefix())$left(\Music\$if($Use(AA),$if($Use(AA)=Various Artists,+$Use(AA),$if($Use(AA)=techno,+$Use(AA),$if($Use(AA)=soundtrack,+$Use(AA),$Left($Use(AA),1)\$Use(AA)))),$left($use(A),1)\$Use(A))\$if(,$if(=Various Artists,,$if(, - )))\$if(, - ) - ,240)"<br /> 3. Remember what preview will show in New Path Column<br /> 4. Click Configure<br /> <br /> NOTE: Mask is functioning correctly when executed it is just not shown correctly in Set Destination Wizard </article> <article> <h1>0006288: Two-pass encoding to WMA should apply to VBR, too</h1> When encoding to WMA, the user can now select "Constant bitrate (CBR) 1-pass", "Constant bitrate (CBR) 2-pass", "Variable bitrate (VBR)" or "Average bitrate (ABR)".

In many instances, this works well, however there are some exceptions which make the behavior confusing and unwanted.<br /> <br /> For example, consider multiple artists tracks. Say you have a track with "Johnny Cash; Joe Strummer" as the artist and "Johnny Cash" as the album artist. Despite having "Use only the first value for Artists / Composers", MM will set this as a compilation album. It can be confusing because you would consider this a Johnny Cash album, not a compilation album.<br /> <br /> There are some other instances as well where it can be confusing for users, i.e. small differences between artist and album artist (Beatles vs. The Beatles), typos, spelling errors, etc. <br /> <br /> It is also a problem as in the "Coverflow" view for iPhone/iPods, compilation albums come at the end, this can confuse users as they don't realize the albums are classified as compilations and they simply appear to be "Out of place" or "Out of order". <br /> <br /> There are several ways to approach fixing the problem, I'm not sure what is best. Pavle suggested over IM we could consider a new method to classify albums as compilations: "instead $IF(<Artist> != <Album Artist> than <Album> = <Compilation>) it should be $IF(<Album Artist> Not containing <Artist> than <Album> = <Compilation>)"<br /> <br /> Another approach could be to allow a new field in MM for this (possibly a new "Type" field... Music, Video, Audiobook, Podcast, Compilation - but it may be confusing to have both Music and Compilation separate) <br /> or also there could simply be a "Compilation" checkbox. <br /> <br /> Another option would be to disable it completely and just define albums as compilation by "itunescompilation" stored in the file tag, which can be set with 3rd party software, itunes, etc. </article> <article> <h1>0006271: Winamp: IPC_GETRATING Compatibility issue with some plugins</h1> Some plugins like CD Art Display <a href="http://www.cdartdisplay.com">http://www.cdartdisplay.com</a> [<a href="http://www.cdartdisplay.com" target="_blank">^</a>] do not handle MediaMonkey rating correctly and can cause MediaMonkey to crash.<br /> <br /> Note: Now IPC_GETRATING always return winamp rating between 0 (no rating) to 5 (5 stars). </article> <article> <h1>0006284: Auto-tag from filename doesn't work well with dual monitor setup</h1> I am using a dual screen set-up.<br /> <br /> When I open any of the "Auto-Tag" dialogues, they open in the same window as the MM, so I move them over to the other screen as I open them, for convenience.<br /> - That is OK. <br /> <br /> The "Auto-Tag from web" dialogue stays open after I have clicked the Auto-Tag button. Ready to continue to the next bunch of files.<br /> - That is also OK.<br /> <br /> The "Auto-Tag from file name" have no "Auto-Tag" button, and closes when I click the "OK" button.<br /> - That is NOT OK.<br /> <br /> I will then have to open it again, move it again, and do the same next time.<br /> This is somewhat irritating.<br /> <br /> Either the "Auto-Tag from file name" should stay open, like "Auto-Tag from web", or open in the same place where it was closed, I think. </article> <article> <h1>0006194: Ripping enhanced CDs always generates an error for the last track on some systems</h1> When ripping an enhanced CD, an error is generated on the final track.
