Re: MP3 Muting
Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the answer. I do believe that Raduga is easy to use and this is one of the reasons why I'm testing it. I Installed Raduga on a virgin Windows XP system with, of course, native Microsoft sound drivers. Well, It simply doesn't work. period. The fraunhoffer codec installed afterwards (v 1.9) was a tentative way to let those file play. Then I tried to install Win ME from a blank formatted disk ... and it magically worked!! As seen my name is not Harry Potter :-), allow me to be a little bit more cautionous before saying that raduga works "out of the box", simply because it's not true proven by tests made by a definitely not absolute beginners in I.T. What I really don't understand is why Raduga is so sensitive to which encoder was used in the first place. I'm not saying the crossfading between multiple files at specified times doesn't work ... I'm simply talking about the basic functionality of an MP3 player: to play MP3 files. Never had any skipped or refused MP3 file by any other player I used. For the rest, Raduga is quite interesting but I need to stress it to say I can count on it. And this can be said Only after I will be able to play all the MP3 files I have, or I will have from the monthly review or audio magazine that doesn't care about the fact that raduga exists. Ettore.
