- 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 !

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
