#64203 Posted on: 02/23/2006 12:10 AM Oh well, seems they "fixed" something else too. I've never had to revert back to the older version (5.13 in this case) until now. When I launch this brand new 5.2 version, the app just crashes. I have no idea why.

#64204 Posted on: 02/23/2006 12:22 AM The links are working just fine and same goes for the program, no crash in 1h of function.

#64205 Posted on: 02/23/2006 03:31 PM I'm having the same issue, though it's not a crash I found out. Turns out this version requires about 30 seconds to load up (which looks like the player has stalled), at which point in loads and works fine. The gapless audio is a REAL nice addition. The icons in the ML look pretty slick. I suggest waiting for a Nullsoft release as this one has a annoying loading bug in it when exposed.

#64208 Posted on: 02/24/2006 09:14 AM 30 second load time ? what are you using a p2 ?? It loads fine here just like all the betas have. The guy with it stalling/crashing should look through his plugins or start from scratch I have had older plugins kill it.
