I guess you can surmise when you post in a Forum, you should not have your guns already blazing hot. Calm down before you post and keep the emotions low. Calmness always wins!
As a result of your post, and those of many others, we are changing the "grayed fields" to black background with bright green text. See the attachment for how 2.210 will appear.
Please note: not all the displayed features will be in 2.210. The pause/resume will be in 2.211, and the the Multiplex will be either in 2.211 or the next release.
However, we are getting 2.210 out faster than normal to make everyone happier. I'll admit, I goofed on the grayed out fields. They are the "standard field" that prevents editing. We had used green on black in Microstudio, aid it is VERY VISIBLE!!! We have half way implemented that today.
We are upgrading our KMA file header to provide attributes for; Country, Duet, Multiplex and Voice on Left or Voice on Right, and Language fields. These upgrades will be completely compatible with your existing files. In fact, we are almost through with an
Edit Header command that will allow you to correct the Song name and Artist name, and add the new attributes. We also will add a means in the Import Tracks Tab to set the attributes when you record in.
I would love to get back to displaying something between songs. However, it will be the fall before we can start on this. If you care to make a more formal request of what you want, we will take that into consideration for what we do.
As to MP3+G, forgive me if I implied IT is illegal. A format (such as MP3+G) is a tool, and as such is not illegal. However, MANY, MANY, MANY users are now swapping MP3+G files for free. That... is illegal. In the USA, and I expect in Germany also, the Blade.dll is ILLEGAL. It violates Thompson CSF's patent rights by not paying their required license. I have spoken to a Thompson employee who called me, and he made it clear that Blade and Lame dlls are illegal. I told him to call me back after he got "T" to stop using it, or make them pay Thompson's $15,000 (US) a year license! Well, he never called me back, and "T" is still using it.
As for me, I like to sleep at night.
