Well ya, being a full-time Linux user, I don’t come around much  But XMPlay is still the best mod player (and less gappy on Linux than any of the native linux players, for other formats), so I kinda use it when Wine doesn’t get in the way. Aaaaand I couldn’t be arsed to search the forums before posting

*sigh* Still no luck here.
I did use Picard to tag the Oggs. None of the tracks are in the MusicBrainz database.
We had a similar problem, but used a slightly different approach encoding too. I think it shouldn't matter what encoder you use, just don’t let it tag your stuff. You can add the tags after LAME or BladeEnc or whatever is finished with it. Tougher issue is finding the right tagger that can automatically extract the tags from the Ogg comments and write MP3 frames for you. I can’t really recommend any, because I’m fairly sure you don’t want to code in Perl to use Audio::FLAC::Header and MP3::Tag

I know. But I already spent hours manually tagging and renaming the Oggs. I don't want to have to repeat that. :/ Keep your tags clean with MusicBrainzAhaha, you sure? Exactly because they’re so strict about submissions, they have very few discs in their database (compared to, say, FreeDB) — true though, that it’s at least of a good quality.

I found that XMPlay doesn’t support the ID3v2 TPOS frame; it can be/is used to denote which disc a track belongs to. Well, at least from what I saw, we only have 5 variables and the last one is for TRCK.
Ditto for whatever is used in the Ogg world (I *think* DISCNO, not sure).

How come all my other settings are followed then?  And since INIs are line-based (but at most one key-value per line), how come this line gets ignored? And I think it's a fairly fresh install (although it was originally “latest 3.3” until I upgraded to 3.4 — so of course, there’s a chance for it to get corrupted, but that’s still not a particularly good reason for only this one setting not to work) from scratch, as is my Windows.

On that note, Schism (being a modplugite) fails a couple songs XMPlay does the way I remember them from IT — in particular, the Ex volume effect is terribly broken (still), and Reed’s A Synthetic Device doesn’t quite sound right until pattern 4 is used (pattern 5, used at the start, must have something that triggers a bug). Didn’t try to compare things to the wav yet  Thanks for mentioning chibitracker too; looks promising, but I think I like Schism better  Not that I’d be tracking anymore, but I just love to get run over by nostalgia.

There are some things about this I don’t completely understand. Let’s say I do have some organised music (beside my download folders that are just completely, utterly cluttered), and let’s say that’s folder D:\Music (because it is). I want to add that folder. It has some unsorted files in it directly (because I can’t be bothered to make a folder for an artist with one song, or I don’t know the artist in the first place (yay for million years old TiS archives  )), and it has a lot of subfolders. What will happen? What will happen if I just add a single song from somewhere on my disks?

Tried the library, making it show the File and sorted by that as well? Not perfect because it doesn’t automatically update the watched directories for new files as far as I know, it doesn’t have a tree structure, and it doesn’t group directories first (hey Ian~  ) but it is atleast some sort of approximation for the old system.

Because I have a NForce2 (Realtek AC ’97), and it stutters with everything except Foobar2000’s Kernel Streaming whenever I touch my keyboard (even as much as pressing the Ctrl key and holding it pressed), if I resurrect Windows from hibernation…
Doesn’t lock my computer up though.

one thing really scared me... switch on "store per-user config/etc" and switch it off again... sure that's not what anyone would ever want  That is actually just removing the "XMPlay" user data directory (C:\Documents and Settings\ username\Application Data\XMPlay), not XMPlay itself  I wasn't sure whether to remove it automatically (without confirmation), in case people might stick other files in there for some reason. for the rest: nice job Ian!  Ta  Ian! I found that when you first run 3.3 it doesn’t respect whether you had per-user settings enabled earlier — one has to go a long way to restore this and not lose library and playlist settings. Such as: save library and pls, run 3.3, check per-user, close 3.3, restore library and pls, run 3.3.
