Ok, just put a new version up - 0.09.. I've hopefully fixed the punctuation and accented characters in filename/path problems. Bit of a nightmare. Previously the tracks I was telling the server to play were relative to the server root, but it didnt seem to like this when there were %E6 type characters in the path, so I had to pass in the full path to the mp3 - drive letters and everything.. Great.. Everything was working.. until I tried a .lnk file.. Arghh.. Anyhow, to cut a long story short, when I scan, I now build a list of .lnk files and their targets and store this in the .moo file. When resolving a track which has a .lnk in the path, I use this cached .lnk target to get the full absolute path to the mp3 file.. So, anyhow, fingers crossed it should work a bit better now.. The .moo file-format's had to be changed to accomodate the .lnks, so it may ask you to rescan the next time you fire it up. I've also included the current playlist feature I've been working on. The screenshot on the site shows what to expect. It's pretty basic - it lists the currently queued up tracks and allows you to jump about them via double-clicking. It's very much work-in-progress, and should get a bit slicker in future releases.. Oh, and another feature's the little 'M's in the album list and playlist.. They show the rough file-types for the item.. For an album containing flac files, you should get an 'F' instead of an 'M', and for oggs, you'd get an 'O', etc.. Any problems, etc, give us a shout..
