Good Morning. For the Music files I have both MP3 and wma files. I tried both. I run Windows XP Home with SP3. Really is such a minor issue anyway and I have started importing some of them. I like that feature too. It will take a while as I have to go in and rename all the files to get them into the correct format for import.
Both volume sliders are working.
With the lockup problem what I had done was I ran a successful show on Friday night then did a shutdown on the computer and took all connections loose and packed it up and took it home. It is a Toshiba laptop. Then on Saturday after I got up I grabbed the laptop and started it up to add some wav files to play some train sounds and such for my next show. When I opened hoster the show display filled my screen. I double clicked it and it went away. I then added some instabuttons and stuff. I then took the laptop to my show Saturday evening and hooked everything up. I always turn on my external monitors, amplifier, mixer etc...before starting the laptop. When I opened hoster the show display was showing on the external monitor but was not filling the screen and the scrolling marquee was going slow. When I clicked on any button in hoster the whole machine locked up and I could not even end the program through task manager. I had to do a total power reset to get it back up. I wound up using 3.40 for the night. After the show I turned off the PC and unplugged everything and then turned it back on and did the Reset as mentioned before and all is well. By doing the reset and then turning off the machine and hooking everything back up I can double click on the show display and it goes to my externals like it should and all works well.
Again I am very happy with the program and I really like having 3.40 available when something goes wrong. I feel this was more human error on my part than something wrong with the program. However, it does work differently than prior versions.
