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.

MuvEnum© is proud to announce the forthcoming beta test of MuvAudio2© on Windows Vista©! Since the release of Windows Vista©, Beta 1, MuvEnum© has been hard at work on bringing support for MuvAudio2© to Windows Vista©. Now that Windows Vista© has reached RTM and we have reached the completion of our first test version, we are looking for beta testers to help us make sure that our release is the best that it can be.

Anyone running Windows Vista© (any RTM version) that would like to be part of the testing team, please email admin@muvaudio.com with an email address that we can reach you at along with your computer specifications. Once we have enough testers, we will send out an instructional email to begin the beta. The beta version should only last a week or so, as we have thoroughly tested MuvAudio2© during development. We are mainly looking for compatibility issues with MuvAudio2© on Windows Vista© in reference to differently configured machines.

We are excited to begin and we know there are quite a few of you that are as excited to begin using MuvAudio2© on Windows Vista©. We hope to see you there!

Thank you,

We’d like to thank a company that has had a very big impact on how we do business. They have allowed us to improve our business in a way that allows us to keep our prices reasonable and our service, satisfactory, to say the least. Who is this company that can help any online business? None other than e-junkie.

E-junkie is the ultimate time saver when it comes to selling digital products online. With e-junkie, we were able to work directly with their developers to integrate our custom coded key generation and our automated cd production (integrated with SwiftCD). This gave us back the time we wanted to be able to focus on improving our software; better software decreases our support requests and lets us concentrate on creating new products. And the icing on the cake? Integration of e-junkie with PayPal allowed us to increase our profit by up to 10% (smaller transcation fees) versus the provider we originally started with. A 10% increase for doing something so simple, thanks to e-junkie.com, the ones that help keep it simple.

Thank you Robin K, the developer from e-junkie that worked with us directly, we hope things go well for e-junkie.

A PayPal tip for businesses, saving you even more on transactions:

This tip gives you the opportunity to lower your per transaction fee based on your monthly sales dollar amount. You can save anywhere from .4% to 1%, though not much per transcation, it can add quickly.

The breakdown on the monthly sales volume you must have to receive these discounted transaction fees is listed here.

• 1. Login to your PayPal account.
• 2. Scroll to the bottom of the overview page (the first page shown once logged in and past the free credit card offers) and then click on the “fees” link.
• 3. In the middle right of the page click on the link labeled: “1.9% to 2.9% + $0.30 USD“.
• 4. In the section labeled “How is Eligibility for Merchant Rates determined?”, click on the link “Merchant Rate Criteria“.
• 5. Under the “Application” section, click on “apply now“.
• 6. Fill out the required information and continue. You should either be accepted or rejected for the extra savings based on their calculations of sales amounts monthly among either prerequisites which can be read about on the previous pages.

This feature is buried deep on their website, but a few simple steps and you are on your way to saving a little extra on every transcation processed through PayPal, integration made easy by e-junkie.

Thank you,

MuvEnum – We’re Almost A Palindrome

There has been some unexpected server downtime the last 2 days. It turns out that the server we are hosted on has had the back fan die, which is causing the server to overheat and restart (upon restarting it is requiring a manual hitting of the F1 key to continue). We are glad to say that the issue is being addressed later this evening. This means that there will be a little more downtime, but after that, everything should be up and running smooth.

We thank you for your patience,

MuvEnum

UPDATE: The server switch was taken care of last night and everything is back to normal.
