plugin-related rather than xAP-related things we need to work
through. I need to think about the implications of your
four-level rather than three-level library structure so the software can be
updated to be cognizant of such a beast.

surprised that this would be the first commercial application since xAP has

getting this for every track on every album - looks like the database is
wrong or corrupted. I'll look at it with Access. I have a backup
though and it looks like MCS Music creates backups
anyway. Perhaps it's because my mp3 tracks that
sit in the album folder don't have track
numbers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

charging for this plugin you will be the first commercial

:-). Supporting the SliMP3 this way is going to provide a host of
features that direct support to the CLI wouldn't have done.

creating the new databases is the task. I am getting a

with abort options, often then the library consistency manger ends up hung.
I'll persevere a bit more and then perhaps give you a shout offlist if

of these shares are organised as say "Soundtracks"
"Radio" "Albums" "Singles" etc with
the standard artist/album/tracks stuff below - this looks like
it's going to create a problem. The biggest concern to me is that my music
is spread across several disks and hence the shares at the top level. Is
this the hurdle that it appears ?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2">Yes 1.4.3
does have the XAP support for SliMP3. Gordon C. has done the
initial evaluation and now we are waiting for Stuart's update to the
connector. The install for XAP features is not automatic, but the
setup is documented in the manual. I did not want to impose the
infrastructure on those not wanting the XAP support. The only
lockups I have had with CDJ occur when large playlists are used.
I now tend to stay under 200 tracks. Since I do not
have a CD Changer and I have now generalized Now Playing
to be player-independent, I use CDJ only for testing. mcsMusic
has an end-of-February timestamp. I may leave it open longer or
make it available via the HST store, depending upon its maturity at that
time.</FONT></DIV>
