When i open the track properties window to have a look at the comment or lyrics and the close it, playback stops for a while, something which is normal in the case that i have edited the track properties. But this happens everytime, even if i don't edit anything in the track properties.
Can anyone confirm that??
On the other hand, updating track tag when file is playing is much faster now.
With MM 2.4.x i had to wait at least 2-3 seconds before playback starts again and player seeks to where the playback had stopped. Now this happens in less that a second no matter how many tags are updated at the same time!!!
Good job

Track Properties window problem

Hmm, you are right, i wasn't clear enough.
That happens only if i open the properties window for the current playing song.
Playback stops every time even if i don't edit anything.
I will send you a debug log. I gave a look at it and is clear that MM proceeds to update the file's tag every time i open the track properties window even if i dont change anything....

Ok, I see, you don't like that pressing 'Ok' continues with updating tag even if nothing was changed. Well, I think that there are reasons for it, for example you don't always see that latest state of tags in Properties dialog (the values could have been guessed from filename and stored in DB only).
Anyway, I'm interested whether also other users find this too annoying...

Well, maybe there is an all around solution.
You could programm MM to update files tag everytime file's tag doesn't match DB contents. This way when pressing OK and all the info of DB exists in file then the update will be cancelled and so the playback wont stop...
And ofcourse you can always create a window similar to MS Office Taskpane which will diplay the songs info constantly (similar posts exists under wishlist) which will be read only. So, you will only have to open properties window only when you want to edit something

I'm still unclear on this issue.
As far as I know, pressing 'Ok' always updated the tag, so that doesn't account for a difference between MM 2.4 and 2.5.
Can someone clarify for me what the difference being observed is?
Thx.

this happens even when you update the now playing song with any scripts too.
it will stop the song restart the song then jump the song to the place that the song was first stopped.
i am using the previous released version the last released before your new alpha testing started.

I have a nice idea. Why dont you replace the OK button with an "Update" one?
This way if someone clicks on Update would expect a playback dropout.
I think this is a very easy and logical change and as i can see you have allready implemented it for the window that appears when pressing Ctr+Alt+P
