MuvAudio v2.5.0.0, with support for Windows Vista, is now available for download.

Version History:

• Added support for Windows Vista (32-bit).
• Added support for using MuvAudio2 under an administrator account or standard user account in Windows Vista
• Added support for saving and loading different settings (accessible from the playlist button).
• Added a “retry” option to the exception submission in case you haven’t allowed access for MuvAudio2 through your firewall.
• Added MessageBox on Update form to inform the user that there is an update, rather than just showing the information.
• Added tentative support for converting from “.m4a”, “.mp4”, “.ogg”, “.flac”, “.spx”, “.mpc”, “.ape”, “.wv”, “.ofr”, “.ofs”, and “.tta”. files when appropriate WMP plugins are installed.
• Added the running of MuvAudio2 Reset Soundcard at the completion of installation to address an issue with the installation of MuvEnum Virtual Cable setting one of the devices as the default audio device (only if .NET 2.0 is installed).
• Added an option (yes/no messagebox) on uninstall to be taken to our website to provide feedback of why you are uninstalling MuvAudio2 (to help us improve the software).
• Added some checks to make sure sessions close when “stopping and exiting” in the console when sessions are repeating the error dialogs shown by Windows Media Player.
• Modified the output directory and filename examples to use ellipsis. This allows more characters to fit in the label and auto creates a tooltip of the full information on mouseover. This also applies to the song labels on the Console.
• Modified installer to default to only the current user shortcut creation, but added option to create all shortcuts for all users on the computer.
• Modified Watch Folder Mode to only care about previously recorded files using Watch Folder Mode if you use the “Leave Original File(s) Alone” option. The other two options will treat all files as never having been recorded. This is how it should’ve been from the start.
• Modified text on Reset Soundcard app when run from the installer to be more “setup” oriented.
• Modified error message when audioctl.dll was not properly registered to inform the user to reinstall MuvAudio2 to fix the issue. This can happen when you install a different program that uses the same dll in their directory and their uninstall deregisters it.
• Fixed an issue with album art sometimes not being embedded into mp3 files if the previous file recorded on the session had the same album name as the current file.
• Fixed an issue with “Watch Folder Mode” giving a “MuvAudio2 Console is already open” error over and over, not allowing it to proceed with the recording process.
• Fixed some graphical anomalies with the bottom section of the console.
• Fixed typo in trial version when selecting “delete” or “move” file option, stating the trial sound will play every 5 seconds (changed to 30).
• Fixed issue where dragging a file onto the form that was supported would enable the recording button, which if pressed and started, would cause MuvAudio2 to crash.
• Moved and resized the output folder label and filename label so their distance from the splitter box is the same.
• Removed the splashscreen when an error with audioctl.dll is found.

MuvAudio v2.1.0.0 is now available for download.

Version History:

• Fixed an issue where the registration menu item was still shown to registered users
• Fixed an issue with vbr settings using the kHz setting of the last selected CBR setting
• Fixed an issue where the time remaining would show 5 to 1 seconds left when it had completed in “Watch Folder Mode”
• Fixed an issue where the error log files for skipped files would sometimes not be deleted and continually show upon recording completion
• Fixed an issue where some files with a capitalized extension were not being added in regular or watch folder mode
• Fixed an issue where “Watch Folder Mode” would stop searching for new files if it ever reached the point that it had converted all files in the selected folder and subfolder. If you now put files in any of those folders after it has searched and found none, it will now correctly keep searching and file and record the new files.
• Modified “Watch Folder Mode” to consider two files equivalent even if the casing is different
• Modified the way sessions start so that they all load before starting playback and recording (decreases startup time)
• Modified support for input files. MuvAudio2 now supports the following attributes: 8-16bit, 1-2 channels. Note: Support for the following attributes: 8-32bit, 8,000-192,000kHz, 1-8 channels (combined into 2) can be added by following the instructions in the FAQ.
• Modified MVC interrupts per millisecond to 5 to help prevent skips
• Modified estimated recording time algorithm
• Modified installer to detect if MuvAudio2 has been installed before regarding the addressing of the nView issue. The “View MuvAudio2 Users Guide” option is now unchecked by default. Added “Start MuvAudio2 on Finish” to final options (unchecked by default).
• Moved disabling of screensaver to be initiated by the console (read below for added support of disabling the disabling of the screensaver
• Added support for 120DPI at resolutions of 1280×1024 and higher (fixes issues with different things getting cutoff)
• Added support for disabling the automatic disabling of the screensaver (to do this, add an empty text file in your installation folder with the name of “ignoress.txt”, without quotes) – This is helpful if you still want your monitor to power down, if enabled, and you have the screensaver set to (None) in Windows.
• Updated Audio Control to use the same version as MuvAudio v1.7

• Updated buttons that link to websites possibly throwing an error when a default browser is not setup properly on the users system
• Updated maximum recording speed detection to compensate for certain processors not being able to handle higher recording speeds
• Removed the resetting of the system default recording device as it is no longer needed
