For Engine#3 (Vista bit perfect playback) decent Gapless Playback is now available.
Edit : As it appears now : "Decent" means the some tracks (CDs) follow rules which make a very small portion of the beginning of a track disappear. This will be solved in due time.

Note that when you load the tracks over a slow connection (like Ethernet) Engine#3 might "time out" and playback stops. But, in order to let this happen a track must be really large and slow to load. E.g. I cannot let it go wrong with a 60 minute track (but my connection is really fast Happy).
Please report if you encounter this anyway, or other anomalies now occurring.


Further changes :
  • With Engine#2 and #3 it is and was not possible to change the playback cursor position (for #3 this will eventually happen); because of that, the cursor was disabled before, that causing very poor visibility of it. From now on the cursor stays enabled (hence better visible), but dragging it is not effective.
  • In the Settings Tab all so far settings have been removed. This concerns :
    Gapless : Everybody wants gapless playback, and two tracks with gap just stay like that (like a settop CD player).
    Show Tooltips : Unchecking it did not work so far anyway, and IMHO the ToolTips did not disturb (because of the delay).
    The name for the coverart file : Did not work so far, and in a next release the player will sort it out automatically anyway.


Current "new" issues (not new really since 0.9f, but newly learned) :
  • It is rather obvious that when you don't like a current Playlist (or an in there dreagged CD) you clear the area and load a new list. When doing that during playing, the currently playing track will remain (which is good). However, when the currently playing track finishes, it will be selected again for playback instead of the (newly dragged) next.
  • A new version of XXHighEnd firstly started may loose the current settings (like Engine#); when this happens the length of the trackname is overlapped by the coverart picture. At stopping and starting XX one time this is "solved" until a next new version is installed, when this anomaly happens again.
  • Edit : As it now appears, the tracks with diacritical marks again won't play with this version. This will be solved a.s.a.p.


Lastly, be aware of sound quality changes on Engine#3 with this 0.9g version opposed to 0.9f. If everything is as intended the SQ should not have been changed, but many things have been changed in the program.
