Problem with HDZIP/HDMP3G

[madjim- with the Lord]

[quote=zzeliminator;80258]Hello. I went from 3.21 to 4.03 and had no involvement with 4.02. I am using Vista Ultimate with 64-bit. I am a little scare of those versions. But if you and others thinks its safe...where do I get 4.02..do I uninstall 4.03? And anything else that needs addressing.

Good idea![/quote

ZZ,
4.02 is no longer available through MTU. The web site always delivers the lastest version of every program. They make fixes with each new version as well as adding features.

This issue has come about because of two different changes that were made in Hoster 4.02.

1. It converts all HDZIP files to HDMP3G files (and finds the bad ones apparently )

2. It changed the HDZIP listings in all of your playlist's to the HDMP3G listing


MTU had to make changes in 4.03 so the converted HDZIP's and Playlists from 4.02 were usebale in 4.03.

Your problem may be a playlist issue. (I have not seen your problem.)

If you open 4.03, clear the playlist and load new tracks from your database will they play?

How did you get HDMP3G files if you didn't install 4.02? Were they zip files that were converted when you imported them into 4.03?


I know I'm chimin' in a little late on this one so excuse me if I'm covering something that has already been discussed.

I feel certain that the playlist issue will be fixed 4.04.

I don't think this is true. I converted all zips with 4.2. My old list work fine in 4.3.

That's good to hear!

I know there was a playlist converter in 4.02 that changed all of the HDZIP files entries in the all of the playlists to HDMP3G entries. There was also an issue where playlist's made in 4.02 would not play in 3.40. Fixing these playlist changes, some good code may have been disturbed. Like Dale said, it will be fixed in 4.04.

That true but 4.03 and 3.40 will play both hdmp3g and hdzip files. At least it does on all my computers. Or mayby because all my files are converted ,it just plays the file without regard to what the list calls it. But, you are right either way it will get fixed.
