MuvAudio v3.1.0.0 is now available for download.

This release upgrades MuvAudio 3 to use the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile which means better performance and better text rendering in addition to a smaller/faster .NET installation. This version has been in the works for awhile and can be released now that the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile has been released on Windows Update. It also includes fixes to the WMA output settings and other improvements. If you run into any issues running this new version, please let us know.

Version History:

• Modified application to use the .NET Framework 4.0 Client Profile; this gives performance, text rendering, and compatiblity improvements in addition to a smaller .NET installation.
• Modified installer to verify at least SP3 if running Windows XP, which is now required for .NET 4, and if not, to inform the user that they need to upgrade.
• Modified MVC check to run after audio control initialized error.
• Modified the remembering of window settings/location to hopefully fix an issue with it crashing MuvAudio on one customers computer.
• Modified the installation of the .NET Framework to be more informative.
• Modified adding files to be faster by not showing them being added to the listbox until they’ve all been loaded.
• Modified required minimum version of Winamp to v5.57 and to upgrade all files appropriately on load.
• Modified default setting from MP3 VBR -V 3 to MP3 VBR -V 2 for better default quality output.
• Added support for determining issue with WMP on german OS.
• Added help to WMA for showing invalid bitrates/samplerates/channels and then added code to auto change the settings in the background when invalid ones are detected rather than not converting the file (with error).
• Removed double-click to open “choose files window” when you already have files to convert in the list (caused window to open when clicking fast on the scroll up or down arrows on scrollbar).
• Removed the higher than 256 kbps wma settings as they are not valid.
• Fixed WMA Pro VBR qualities not saving correctly (it was saving them as the Standard vbr setting instead of the Pro setting).
• Fixed crash when ‘access is denied’ when trying to set the child process processor affinity.
• Fixed reset button shadow being cutoff.
• Fixed size of WMA control being too tall when “Advanced” was expanded.

The Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile was made available on Windows Update (WU) this past week.  It adds a bunch of new features and performance improvements but it also happened to break MuvAudio 2.  Now, instead of starting, you’ll see the following error message: “Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application.”. We’ve released an update to fix the issue: MuvAudio 2.9.9.0 (revision 2).  Just download and install over your current MuvAudio 2 installation and you should be good to go.

This issue does not affect MuvAudio3.

We appreciate your patience as we resolved this issue.
