- Read ID3v1, ID3v2 and Vorbis tags !
- Each items in the playlist show its length

- Now you have the choice between the Video Renderer and the Overlay Mixer as the video rendering method. Each one have its advantages and some disadvantages:
- The Video Renderer allow you to choose the DirectDraw surface for compability mode
- It do not have problems with the skin alpha-blending
- It allow you to deactivate the scanline (vertical blank)
- It may be required for Dualview (the Matrox refuse to display the picture on the second monitor with it, but work fine with a Radeon 8500)
- The Overlay mixer give smoother overlay stretching
- It is needed for the desktop mode
- DirectVobSub tend to dislike the overlay mixer (try to render with graphedit a file where you don't have the audio codec: at first insert the overlay mixer and directvobsub, then render your file, see the result :)
- It's up to you to choose which one you prefer until I write my video renderer :)
- Fixed the minimize buttons :) It was very broken, I shouldn't code late during the night...
- Updated the demo-credits so it works with Dualview (it was centered between the two screens)
- Before I forget, uninstall a27 and delete the directory where the player was installed. Also the Xbox skin is not compatible anymore (I have to update it, but no time)
- The player now handle the memory access violations and the others OS error message to get better bug reports. Also I prevent the flow of errors that may occurs when the player crash, this mean you should have only one error message and be able to still use the player (but if it crashed something wrong happened).

- Equalizer presets are working :) They are saved in the .\Db\EQPresets directory, in a file per presets, so you can send me your settings.
