Hmm Leif ...
That 384000 is wrong. I can't think of anything else than that this is my fault, but then why don't I have the problem myself ?? Is your DAC set at 24/192000 (and the "Needs 32 bits" ticked) ?
If so, I don't have a better idea than to send me such a file please ...
Just in case, please show the results of the DAC Test as well (not the Shared option).
Kind regards, Peter

As shown in the picture, When choosing an album with the Library button on the left corner (what should called "Add Files"), And go back to select another album the left arrow is blanked(so can't go back) Have to start @ beginning of tree again. Hmm ... I don't recognize this, but I'm sure you are right. Anyway I will see if something can be done about it ! Thank you Roy, Peter

Telstar, -Random disappearing of the windows ribbon in the status bar (about 20% of times) Please help at finding out when. I never play Attended (which is what you must be doing here, right ?), and I can't find the time to test a thing like this. -occasional "track not found error" Should be about "elbow on keyboards" manipulation (I wasn't up to that yet ), or something which is repeatable. I never have this, so please try to qualify this error (screen copy would be best). -occasional crash (xxhighend stopped working - while engine3 still plays music) Here too, I don't have the time to wait for this to happen. A screen copy won't help I think, but recognizing when it happens of course does. -after SP2 is more likely that some services crash, such as windows host. this especially on the slower computer with vista x32 Yes, I recognize this already from SP1 ! It should imply that more/other services are active - or require more resources than before. I did not see which ones. It also can be that the before applied tweaks (like from my thread "how I made my Vista virtually dead" (similar)) have been undone by the upgrade ? Anyway keep in mind : when this happens, this is a good thing, unless afterwards you can't do something anymore of course. UI improvements - make the tree longer on the left in the library view. With scrollbars like everything else. i have 1920x1200 resolution! You said this before, but I can't get this. Especially when you have such a wide screen you can drag that part to the right (and thus bottom) and it will grow in heighth. Please show me a screen copy of what you think is achieveable, maybe then I can show you what to do, *or* it shows me what I should do. - the button labeled "library" that is used to add files to the playlist should be named "open" or "add files". It is confusing with the library tab Agreed. - undemo tab should go away in the registered version No, I'm sorry but I won't do that. You *are* right though !! Thanks ! Peter

Ultimate Audio Playback / Music Storage and convenient playback / Re: Music files on OS harddisk

Johan, allow me ... Eric, look below; What you see is (a part of) the list I have for physical music files on a drive. I: in my case. The albums in that list are selected by normal Windows means of selecting (click, ctrl-click, cltrl-shift-click etc.). Now do rightclick on one of the albums, and choose Add to Gallery. At clicking Select, you will be asked for a "Gallery folder" to put the selected albums in. This is just a normal folder, and you can create it from there. It is the advice to have the Galleries at the OS disk (say, drive C:). You can create a root like "Music", and under that everything you want. Could be Classical and Jazz etc. etc. Anyway, whatever you put in there, and no matter from what drive it came, it will be accessible via that Gallery root. For that, set the Music Root in the Settings Area to the Gallery root folder. From there you can choose for your Classical or Jazz etc. no matter where it really resides, and you can also ask for everything from the Gallery root itself (via the Library Area). In the latter case you will have all albums at hand in one list. In the second picture I chose my Gallery root folder (see at the bottom, I have it named "Galleries"), and because of that the albums are shown with the preceeding Gallery folder name "\Classical\". Because this is there, it allows you to select all classical by just typing that, so you'd end up with only classical again, as if you had chosen that Gallery folder. Just practice a bit; it won't harm. Many more things can be done, but this gives you a start I hope. (and don't start moving Gallery folders, because the support for that is not in XX yet ). Peter

Hi Peter. Don't know if JohanZ knows about the small "I" button, but I sure don't. Appreciate an explanation. Thanks.
Oh, this is nothing related to the Wallpaper, but the small "I" button on the main form brings back (or removes) the Desktop Icons. And you'd need those in the Attended Playback situation when playback stops but XXHighEnd stays, and all icons stay away in that situation. But I'll change it.

Hi, If you already have that Netbook, just go for it and give it a try. There is no reason why a random notebook with 1GB of RAM would not work. It may be sluggish on the coverart, but that's for later. But if you don't have it yet, I would NOT buy it, or any notebook. The chances are too high that something is wrong (could be clicks), and then it will be the most difficult to solve it just because ... well, it is a notebook. In the end it doesn't suffice for storage either. So, when you have large amounts of albums it won't fit on the disk in there, and any outboard solution takes ages (like 24 hours) to copy a disk. A, say, small tower will always contain the processor chip you want, or the motheboard for that matter. Besides, the processor will be one of an optimized kind for "processing" which is different from optimized for energy saving. It all matters, and it also matters for sound ... Peter

Before making it too difficult ... I now see in your error-4 picture that you stuffed "(WAV)" in the name; is that correct ? if so, that for sure creates problems, probably this one.
If you had created Galleries I think you would know. But if so, they are just normal folders on the drive you created the Galleries. For that matter, your error-4 picture may show a Gallery root of FLAC (but I can't see whether it's a Gallery or a real music folder), and that FLAC folder would just reside on disk.
Let me know about the (WAV) thing ... Peter

The Galleries folders are created by XX (on your command) and contain the meta data with .mta files ... If you didn't (order for Galleries) I misunderstood the whole subject. I will look into it better tomorrow.

Depends on what you did. But the worse is when you moved originals to another location. In that case the Galleries created from it earlier should be deleted, and from the originals new Galleries should be generated. The latter is no problem, but when the first is in the middle of a Gallery comprising of other originals as well ... PAIN.
Anyway, the last thing I am telling you is "this is no problem". I am sorry ...

Telstar, I'm afraid this is all my fault because I never really finished the Library stuff on this matter (moving / deleting), and in the end the Library entries are still there, but point to non-existing locations by now. I know this is a pain to get right, but it just is not finished (now you must delete those old Library entries manually ... not difficult by itself of course, but still a pain). Peter
