Hello. Here is the background: I did have 3.321 and went directly to 4.03. My issue with 4.03 was that my HDZIP'S didn't get converted to HDMP3G. THE FIX: wait for 4.04.

I upgraded to 4.04. I saw the dialog asking to convert my HD's to HDMP3G. I said yes and that process appeared to work properly.

My playlist had both CDCDG's and HDMP3G in it. I started the auto play and I allowed Hoster to play through the playlist. A CDCDG played, no problem, another CDCDG, no problem. A HDMP3G played, about a minute or so, the song and lyrics started to slow and sluggish and this continue throughout the song. I let auto advance to the next song which was a HDMP3G and the same thing occurred. The HDMP3G songs were different brands.

So, I deleted all songs in the playlist and randomly selected CDCDG's and HDMP3G songs and placed them into the playlist. I let auto play the songs and I saw the same thing as before.

And I turned off marguee, still the HDMP3G would slow as explained above.
And I went to "tools", then "options" and on "process priority", selected "real-time". I let auto play the songs again and the HDMP3G were slow and sluggish.

Task Manager saids that CPU usage is 7% and processes are 65%. I think this is all I have for info. Please advise. Thanks, Kelly
