Engine#3 only :

... which is for now about the FLAC files with extention FLAC only, and just "plain" compressed files are supported.
Might your files be about Cue encaptulation ... not now.

Anyone having these : please listen carefully whether you hear a difference with normal WAV files. Technically that would not be possible ... but if so anyway, please let it know.

No explicit changes were applied to gapless and possible timing issues (nor was this tested), but the already reserved time should be enough for normally (well) performing systems; When changes are needed they can be applied later. First approval of SQ is needed. yes
Edit : Also, none of the Library Search functions currently will look for FLAC files., again awaitening SQ approval.


Then, "half" support for WMP ripped files was added (which for Engine#1 and Engine#2 is supported implicitly, as reported by users);
As it occurred, those files will have received a non-standard format. Although I myself did not dive into the possibilities on this in WMP, this is about "WAVELISTs" which would be Microssoft's implementation of cue files within a normal WAV file. Strangely enough deep down in their own "kernel programs" they don't support it themselves (similar to the non-support of the new Exclusive Mode by WMP). Note though that I could not find any further info on this, so maybe my statements are, say, BS.
Rather much effort was put in getting it to work anyway, and actually it can't be done without the support of the kernel programs concerned.
Please note : What happened is that some general checks for a decent "playback stream" had to be removed in order for some base to let this work. Actually this is a stupid thing to do, and possibly unknown errors might come from it. Mind you, from normal WAV files. If so indeed, the support for WMP-rips will be removed immediately. sorry
The half working as of now, might imply that most of it doesn't work anyway ... So please keep this in mind. But also, please let it know !!

Anyway, might you see anything at the ripping options from WMP that even smells like "cue"/"wavelists", avoid it !


Solved issue :
Caused by inconcistencies in the Vista uplevelled Administrator Rights as needed per version 0.9m (for Processor Core Appointment), tracks with diacritical marks *in their path* would error out at playback attempt. This is solved now.
