2.9.x has been a PITA to upgrade. Automatic upgrade hasn’t been working on 2 of my installations. Manual upgrade isn’t so bad but still it isn’t as convenient.

I really hate Sony mp3 player software. Specifically X-application. I realize it is a Japan only release but why doesn’t it work on Win7 64 and why does it not properly support unicode. Ugh. Just terrible. And why do their players only handle embedded album images. Sure, that’s a cleaner way of doing it but WMP doesn’t do it. Really annoying.

CoreAVC 2 is out and it supports Win7 and 32/64. As soon as I can get a working copy and serial, I’ll upgrade and see how the netbook and AMD HD3200 handle it. I’m trying to get away from MPC-HC if I can since I’m getting annoying playback errors. Not showstopping but annoying.
