1. Fixed: Some ALAC files (e.g. those produced by &#039;Sound Studio 3&#039;) were not playable because of a strange looking &#039;alac&#039; mp4 atom.&nbsp; We now ignore the strange data.<br />

10. Fixed: Empty temp files are no longer created when encoding lossless Wavpack. &nbsp;<br />
11. Changed: Wavpack files now display compression information. &nbsp;<br />
12. Changed: When acting as a DLNA renderer, Media Center will use &quot;error free&quot; mode so that playback errors won&#039;t cause message boxes to display (since the controller is normally in a different place).<br />
<br />
'''18.0.194 (6/4/2013)'''<br />
1. Fixed: Media Center could become unresponsive to mouse clicks following showing of a pop-up error dialog. Mostly a problem on OSX 10.8.<br />

3. Changed: Updated Chinese language file (thanks kelijun).<br />
4. Fixed: Stopping or switching tracks during Library Server client playback could lead to a crash.<br />

4. Changed: Updated Polish translation (<b>thanks Janusz Grzybek</b>).<br />
5. Changed: Radio buttons will use multiple lines for their text when necessary instead of truncating the text (helps with large font sizes).<br />

11. Fixed: The playback position could be incorrect when using a gapped playback mode.<br />
12. Changed: When converting a file with a bitdepth greater than 24, the engine will convert to 24-bit (with dither) to feed the encoder (since few encoders support more than 24-bit files).<br />
13. <b>NEW: DSP Studio can be enabled during audio conversion</b> (Library Tools &gt; Convert Format), allowing resampling, channel mixing, convolution, etc.<br />
14. Fixed: A rare crash when parsing certain MP4 audio files.<br />
<br />
'''18.0.187 (5/17/2013)'''<br />

1. Fixed: Tagging in the action window could crash.<br />
<br />
'''18.0.181 (5/10/2013)'''<br />
1. Fixed: Some m4a and alac files would not import or play because of a mismatched sample count in the mp4 STTS header. &nbsp;We now ignore this error since it shouldn&#039;t impact playback performance.<br />
2. Fixed: Radio streams would &#039;click&#039; every few seconds because metadata was not getting parsed out of the stream.<br />
<br />
'''18.0.180 (5/8/2013)'''<br />

2. Fixed: The &#039;Tempo &amp; Pitch&#039; DSP plugin was causing crashes during playback.<br />
3. Fixed: Metadata in languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. was not displaying correctly - just drawing square boxes.<br />
4. NEW: Added support for play / pause, previous, next, and volume <b>media keys[</b>.<br />
5. Changed: <b>3GA files</b> are treated like AAC / MP4 audio files, so they can import, play, and tag.<br />

7. Fixed: The mouse controls could become unavailable with certain types of displays in Display View with build 178.<br />
<br />
'''18.0.178 (5/3/2013)'''<br />
1. Changed: Rounded frame edges (used by many skins) are supported.<br />
2. Fixed: OSX 10.6 would show an extra window border around the main frame.<br />
3. Fixed: The Apple internet reader couldn't seek so wave, aiff and probably other content couldn't be played over media network.<br />
4. Fixed: OSX 10.6 could hide the main window when a child window went away.<br />

2. Changed: Modal dialogs no longer always float above regular windows or windows from other programs.<br />
3. Changed: Options > Audio > Core Audio > Output mode settings... allows some configuration of hardware buffer sizes (please experiment and report results if you're having playback problems).<br />
4. Fixed: When the user interface used system windows, they could incorrectly appear outside the bounds their parent window (like during scrolling the Playing Now > Overview view).<br />
5. Fixed: Tag changes weren't getting saved to files that reside on network drives.<br />
6. Changed: Revised the system window show / hide method to hopefully work better and avoid a few cases where a hidden window could appear.<br />
<br />
'''18.0.176 (5/1/2013)'''<br />
1. Changed: The &#039;minimize&#039; button now works.<br />

2. Fixed: Encoding to ALAC could crash in some cases.<br />
3. Fixed: On the Import wizard, clicking cancel when it recommended not using an empty auto-import folder list would leave the wizard in a strange state.<br />
4. Changed: The program better detects read-only mounts and messages right away when tagging files on these drives (instead of piling up the files in the tagging queue and messaging when closing the program).<br />
<br />
'''18.0.173 (4/25/2013)'''<br />
1. Fixed: Crashes resulting from named locking not being implemented on Mac, especially when settings changes were made (including in background processing).<br />

5. NEW: A saved Play Doctor Playchart allows setting the number of output files to 100, 250, 500, or 1000 (previously it was locked at 100).<br />
6. Fixed: When a CUE file pointed to a missing WAV file, it would lead to problems.<br />
7. Fixed: If a DLNA device requested metadata for a file that&#039;s no longer in the library (or never was in the library), it could crash.<br />
8. Fixed: CUE files that contained URLs in comments could lead to a crash.<br />
9. Fixed: Horizontal scrolling in the Playing Now &gt; Overview view was not working nicely.<br />

1. Fixed: M4A / ALAC tagging reading and writing could be problematic if the &#039;Play files from memory&#039; option was enabled.<br />
2. Fixed: When bitstreaming DSD as DoP, the bitstream could fall out of DoP mode on pause or if there was a data shortfall.<br />
3. Changed: Revised buffer filling strategy to always provide a full buffer to devices (more deterministic, and seems to work better with some devices).<br />
4. Fixed: Some hardware could have a clicking sound during playback.<br />
5. Fixed: &#039;Open URL..&#039; was not working (i.e. radio streams).<br />

18.0.219 (9/26/2013)
1. Fixed: Radio buttons were not working.
2. Fixed: Locate > On Disk (external) was not working.
3. Fixed: If Media Center's window position got placed off the top of the screen, it could not be moved back into position.  Now a bad position is fixed at start-up time.
4. Fixed: Potential crashes when importing large number of media files containing certain tag values.

18.0.218 (9/11/2013)
1. Fixed: Files view in tree would not show any files when a folder name in the path contained a bracket character '[]'.
2. Fixed: Mute for system volume was not working.
3. NEW: Next/Previous keyboard media keys are now working.  When held down, they fire FastForward/Rewind events.
4. Fixed: Horizontal scroll direction was the opposite of the Mac 'Natural' scroll direction.

11. Fixed: The playback position could be incorrect when using a gapped playback mode.
12. Changed: When converting a file with a bitdepth greater than 24, the engine will convert to 24-bit (with dither) to feed the encoder (since few encoders support more than 24-bit files).

3. Fixed: On the Import wizard, clicking cancel when it recommended not using an empty auto-import folder list would leave the wizard in a strange state.
