MuvEnum is proud to release their second application: Muvixer – The fixer for your audio mixer!

Muvixer is freeware!

Do you play games such as Battlefield© 2 or Half-Life© 2? Do you have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy© (with external box) or another soundcard that the recording device, when playing these games, is reset to “Microphone” even though you actually use a different line such as Line 2? With Muvixer�, you no longer have to worry. Muvixer© allows you to select the line you always want to use and if Battlefield© 2 or any other program changes your recording device, it will automatically be changed back to your specified recording device on a time interval that you choose!

• Automatically sets your recording device to what you specify. If some other program changes it, Muvixer will change it back.
• Ability to save settings. This allows you to set it up once and never have to worry about it again.
• Option to automatically run on startup.
• Option to hide the icon when running (trying to open the application when hidden will unhide the icon).
• Simple and intuitive interface available by right-clicking on the system tray icon.
• Runs as a system tray icon to use as little resources as possible.
• Ability to check and install new updates from within the application.

Download Now v0.9.7.0 (Released – 12/26/05)

Requires: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (installing the program will automatically detect whether or not you have the correct version of .NET framework and if not detected will direct you to the Microsoft download page.

Supports: Windows© /2000/XP/2003

• Album Art is now added to mp3 files, if you have an active internet connection
• Album Art downloading optimizations and keyword modification for better finding of the album covers

• Added the ability to drag and drop files and directories directly onto the main window

• Fix ContextMenu cannot be shown on an invisible control. Parameter name: control
• Removed the “Delete dialog” for non-trial users on the automatic and dedicated dialogs
• Changed ## of split track to be ### as some split files will be in upwards of 100+ files
• The space character is now allowed as a separator of the filename (it was being read incorrectly from the xml file)
• Renamed the “Automatic” button to “Record” for better understanding
• Modifed default output directory setup to “Author – WM/AlbumTitle” so that users by default don’t get a new directory for every song

• Fixed Dedicated mode, when set to delete, copying the files to “My Music\Converted” before deleted
• Fixed VAC5 from sometimes not starting the recording (it would open, but not start; similar to the next bug that was fixed)
• Fixed some VACs stopping after certain songs which could only be resumed by clicking on “Stop” and then “Resume”
• Cleaned up old code to make the executable smaller
• Other small bug fixes and improvements

When purchasing through PayPal, users will now receive their unlock code almost immediately. Among this added and much needed feature, we have added registration number validation on the purchase page to ensure that when you do order, your registration number is the correct form so that you receive the correct unlock code upon completion of purchase. Users no longer have to worry about receiving an invalid code due to the misentering of their registration number.

On a side note, we have been working on v1.2 over the past couple of months and here are a couple of the new features that we have in store:

1. Drag on drop files on the main form to create your playlist.
2. Adding files indicator that counts up the playlist time as files are being processed (so users don’t think the program has crashed).
3. The ability to resume audiobooks by split section.
4. Better handling of License Acquision errors causing incorrect names on files
5. And as always, fixes, tweaks, and more…

Thanks,

• Added FLAC and OGG tagging support
• Added error handling to the unhandled exception error users receive when there is a problem with WMP or the .NET Framework and it will now log it to a file that can be sent to support@muvaudio.com for better help on what needs to be changed on their system to allow MuvAudio to work correctly.
• Fixed getfiles error with dedicated mode
• Made “open log file” textbox float

• Fixed CreateCompatibleDIB Error
• Fixed the trayicon so it is removed after recording completes when you click exit on the dialog box
• Added message to inform user of recording speed of 1 when using OGG (cpu load is too high using OGG to record at a higher speed)
• Add delete box to show a dialog to ask if the user really wants to do this and explains the possible consequences relating to normal recording and also when using the trial version (to notify them that their songs will include the “trial” voice overlay)
• Made the console minimized on all checks of the watch directory after the first run through of dedicated mode

• Removed support for unsupported characters in the separators
• Added support for !@#$%^&()_-+={}[];’,. in directory names
• Fixed Object Reference error in timer1
• Limited separators to 3 characters and disallowed the “\” (please use the “SubDirectory” option to do the same thing as the “\” in the output directory)
• Fixed bug where : was in the directory name and it killed the output files (it created the directories, but the files would not be recorded)
• Added check for dedicated mode where watch directory, output directory and move to directory don’t cause a repeated conversion loop
• Updated the EULA to show that they can use it on up to two computers
• Updated the help file
• Cleaned up code to make sure that all deletions of files are working properly when the recording of the file is incomplete
• Added option to exit “Audio Repeater” once rather than exiting MuvAudio totally when it detects you have “Audio Repeater” open. If the second time, you still have it open, MuvAudio will exit
• Removed error message that the console was already open to instead, not allow MuvAudio to open. The console must be closed when trying to start a new instance of MuvAudio, otherwise, MuvAudio will not run
• Set limit of 50 songs processed per dedicated mode directory search (this increases stability greatly, but still processes as many files as before, just in smaller chunks)
