btw: is there any reason why someone won't find an official announcement here at the forums?

Detection of proxy server settings from Internet Explorer.


Could you please add support for "Don't use a proxy"?

I'm a web developer and I constantly use debug-proxies (Charles, Fiddler) that change the default Windows proxy.
Without the option my Streams get interrupted while working/debugging. A possible solution could be to use no proxy when you un-check the box but leave the text-field for the address empty.

Thank you very much!

This update fixes an MP3 decoder regression causing glitches when decoding files that have been split from a longer original file.

Hi Peter.

I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere. If so, please point me towards the relevant thread.

The following item from the 1.1.12 beta 4 changelist caught my attention:

Fixed Converter misbehavior on files with misplaced “cuesheet” tags (beta 4).


Can you please elaborate upon what these 'misplaced' cuesheet tags are?

Also any pointers towards how I can fix these misplaced cuesheet tags will be immensely helpful.

Thanks and regards.

By misplaced cuesheet tags I meant apparent "cueshseet" tags on formats that do not support embedded cuesheets, or on each individual track of an album image that's already partitioned using an embedded cuesheet. Converter would fail to cope with such files before.

Thanks for changing the handling of COMM-Tags with description!

Not sure how to understand that. Does it mean a fix and now it is possible to write multiple values, or is it now not possible anymore to write them in various scenarios? In the latter case: what exactly was changed?

There is no apparent specification-compliant way of including multiple values of most fields in ID3v2.3. We changed from storing multiple values per frame (against the 2.3 spec) to storing multiple frames (still against the spec but better odds of other software reading it).

Ah ok, i guess on tag rewrite frames with multiple values will be changed to new format?
