- The graphic layout of this webpage has been slightky changed.

Version 2.0.7.49 Released 2007-01-07

- Unidentified CD's are now not named "Checking..." anymore.
- Unidentified CD's now displays correct Track numbers and Year in the Tree View.

- Fixed a potential crash when terminating WACHandler.
- Fixed an internal bug that made WACHandler consume a lot of CPU after some 20-30 minutes of execution.

A note about CD's identified with Unicode text:
If a CD is from, let's say Greece, it might be identified by the CDDB(s) using the Greek alphabet.
WACHandler doesn't support displaying names using alternative alphabet types.
Although I could add this support, but I don't really see the point since :
A: The WACS system doesn't handle this.
B: MP3 Tagging doesn't handle this either.
So WACHandler will just show garbage text for this to just remind the user that s/he has to name them manually.


Version 2.0.1.47 Released 2007-01-05
- Editing of WMA tracks in the WAC is now re-enabled (although if downloaded to a PC, the WMA Tag information is not updated). - Version of WACHandler is now shown in the About dialog.

Thanks to ConcretePost for discovering and testing this for me. - Fixed a bug in the discovery routines (using the PCLink protocol. UPnP discovery had the same bug and it was fixed in the previous build). - Uploaded tracks now have their filesizes displayed correctly. Thanks to xenon. - Uploading a track without any Tag(s) now get named from its filename (without the file extension part). - Bug when uploading tracks fixed. First upload = Ok, but all following the first one just uploaded the first track again and again. - Fixed a crash when starting playback of a track while a previous track was still being played. - Additional information added in the crash log (easier for me to pinpoint what went wrong if WACHandler crashes).

Version 2.0.1.46 Released 2007-01-04
- Now CD identification should work with all kind of CD/DVD/CD-RW devices. Many thanks to negev, mrmracing and xenon to help me with this one !

Version 1.1.3.18 Released 2006-06-14
This release didn't add any new functionality, it only contained fixes for the following bugs :

- If the WAC times out while loading Artist-, Genre- or Album info, the WAC700Downloader
crashed with an Access Violation while accessing address 0x00000000 when starting a
Drag'n'Drop operation, or when displaying the Properties for a track.
Thanks to "Mattbird" for pointing this out for me.

- If the WAC times out while loading Artist-, Genre- or Album info, two additional attempts
are executed before giving up.
(I found this on myself ! ;)

- If TCP/IP-port 19000 is used by some other application (or other running instance of
WAC700Downloader.exe), the application tries to use any available TCP/IP port within
the range 19001 to 19099.
Thanks to "cspenger" for pointing this out for me.

- A couple of internal thread dead-locks has been fixed.
Thanks to Markus Nordh for pointing this ot for me.

- Added instructions in the ReadMe.txt file regarding cable-connected WAC and the
WAC700Downloader.exe.
Thanks to Markus Nordh for pointing this out and testing this for me.

running. I also added this info in the Streamium Café, 8:th of June, 2006.

- Drag'n'Drop from the WAC700Downloader to the Windows Explorer is now used for
copying tracks from the WAC. The previous "Download" button and the Destination
path combobox are therefore removed.

- Confirmed to work with WAC700 FW 1.2.10 (thanks to JohnDB and others).

- Should now work ok (or at least better...) when Windows is configured to use
"large fonts". Thanks to Laurent for pointing this out.

- Properties can now be shown for both Devices and Tracks.

- Settings in the Settings Window (in v1.0, these settings were shown when the
"Download" button was clicked) are remebered between sessions.

for use in WinAmp.
