Congratulations!  
You have downloaded what is becoming the 
DEFINITIVE CD Rip/Tag/Encode audio tool, Zlurp!

Still need to help out the help.  Going to make an effort
to get 'r done this summer.

Features 
implemented 
as of:

May 22, 2005	More EXTended info tweaking.  I can see that this
		is going to be a moving target!  ;-)

Aug 15, 2004	The site for EXTended info made a format change, so
		I needed to update getting the info.
		Also took another look at WAV to MP3. Had some problems
		there that needed to be addressed.
		Thank you for your patience with me putting out new
		versions.  It continues to be a challenge to work
		on Zlurp!

		Well, fixed one problem and caused another! Fixed
		the "outta Space" error for lots of free space, but
		broke the space check for when you don't have much
		free space. So...here's the fix for THAT! D'oh!

		More testing testing!  Your help has made all the
		difference in getting this next version out.
		Thank you and keep up the good work!  Moo team! ;-)

		Still having some installation goofiness at times.
		I am working on that.  If you have had any trouble,
		many people have had success by starting in safe
		mode and installing Zlurp then.  There must be
		some software running on a regular boot that is
		interfering with Zlurp getting info about your
		CD rom drives.

		Fixed many problems that getting EXTended info was
		causing behind the scenes.  And heaven help you if
		you were trying to find EXT info where the album
		name was the same as the artist name!  But that is
		all good now.

		One other intermittent bug is that occasionally 
		Zlurp will go south when it is writing out a tag at 
		the end of ripping a song.  I haven't been able to 
		catch this in the act yet to debug, but I haven't 
		given up.

		Testing testing!  First pass at Win2000/XP support.
		Don't expect the world on a platter!  (but it would
		be nice!)

		Will be putting this 1.9 version out for bug testing
		for a while, then will make any fixes and put out
		a solid 2.0 version.

		So far there has been some goofiness seen on Win2000.
		It seems to be connected to the first time Zlurp! is
		fired up.  So before you give up, go in and check the
		settings, hit apply, quit out and start Zlurp! again.
		Things should work better.  I don't have a Win2K
		system set up yet to do my own testing, so you will
		have to bear with me until I get it set up.

		Zlurping on Win 98 should still work ok, but 98 bug
		testing obviously will not be the main focus at this 
		point.  No going back now!

		Put in a couple of Zlurper requests!
		- Use Genre as an output directory
		- Force track name to all upper or lower case

		Any other requests, get 'em in!  :-)

		EXTended info support is back! I'm planning on a
		little more tweaking.  If you have a disc that it
		can't find info on, drop me a note and tell me
		what it was.  I only have so many CDs to test with!
		;-)

		Hello my patient Zlurpers!
		Good news - I've taken out the expiration date.  Now you 
		will always have a fully working cow.  To automatically 
		check for a new version when you fire Zlurp up, go to the 
		General Settings and check the "Notify of Zlurp Update".

		There have been a few large changes in the outside world
		since I've done major work on Zlurp!  CDDB has gone away.  
		Bye bye!  I had some fundamental differences with the CDDB˛ 
		people's philosophy, so Zlurp will be using the freeDB 
		database exclusively.  I have some more testing to do on 
		that code, so please let me know if there are any problems 
		finding your CD's track names.

		The other main issue is that CDNow was bought by 
		Amazon.com.  Zlurp would get EXTended info from them.  
		I've switched to using CDUniverse, but the interface isn't 
		quite finished.  Rats!  But I figured all you loyal Zlurp 
		fans would want a working Zlurp as soon as possible.  
		So, EXTended info is temporarily disabled.

		The next goals are: 
		Version 1.3 will have EXTended info back.
		Version 2.0 will have Win2000/WinXP support!  Yay!

		Finally, I had to redo the installer from scratch because 
		that was Chuck's task.  Please let me know if there are 
		any install problems -> ilana@hatman.com
