Matt (Monkey's Audio developer) has just released Monkey's Audio 3.99 Update 1 that fixes the problems in 98!

Just updated the MAC 3.99 download.

It should have the new MAC.exe and also a MAC.dll and MAC.exe that work under Win9x. (keep in mind that MAC now requires Unicows.dll to be in the system directory on Win9x machines)

If other components don't work properly on Win9x, please let me know.

Thanks everyone.

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

I think it will need someone to try it, for this release dMC does not use Monkeys at all to read the APE tags (it has its own code - and with dMC R11 you can tell it if you want id3v1, ape1 or ape2 tags to be written).

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

Updated 3rd April 2004 - if you have an older version, redownload from link above otherwise dMC R11 will crash.

The Monkey's Audio SDK 3.99 has just been updated!

Monkey's Audio 3.99 Update 4

1. Fixed: Decoder could erroneously report a CRC error on the last frame of some files.

(NOTE: SDK also updated)

Monkey's Audio 3.99 Update 3

1. Changed: Worked on making data types more standard / cross-platform friendly.
2. Changed: Switched code from tab-based to space based. (may still be some out-of-whack formatting)
3. Fixed: Building ID3 tags could cause a crash.
4. Fixed: APL builder treated the last part of a CUE time as a hundreth of a second instead of as a frame. (1 / 75 of a second)
5. Fixed: File Info dialog used by Winamp plugin wouldn't accept / save Unicode tag values properly.
6. Fixed: APL files could output noise or silence at the end of the file in some cases.

Monkey's Audio 3.99 Update 2

1. Fixed: Possible buffer overflow attack weakness in APE tagging code.
2. Fixed: MACDll.dll was not doing ANSI to Unicode conversions properly.
3. Changed: Added Unicode versions of interface wrappers to MACDll.dll.
4. Changed: Updated Winamp plugin to better handle Unicode.
5. Changed: Removed peak-level normalize from file and Winamp plugin. (newer players can do normalize / replay gain during playback)
6. Changed: Updated Cool Edit filter to 3.99.

Monkey's Audio 3.99 Update 1

1. Fixed: MACDll.dll wasn't working on Win9x / ME systems.
2. Changed: MAC.exe updated to 3.99.

Monkey's Audio 3.99

1. Changed: Decoding engine better at handling corrupt streams / loss of internet connection while playing.

In Windows ME, As with 3.98, 3.99 gives an error message of "unable to write, disk full?" I have uninstalled with add remove programs as well as dap uninstall.

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

Can you try the Monkeys Audio compression program (3.99 of MAC) - www.monkeysaudio.com does that work?

I downloaded and tried the 3.99 ver. form Monkey's Audio and it converted a wav to monkey's 3.99, but it would not play in dbpowerAMP. It did play in winamp lite.

Maybe you should compile your files using the latest Monkey's Audio SDK (It is now update 4) Spoon?

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

Updated using latest code, if someone with Windows could try the new version (same download link as above, clear your internet cache first).

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

I cleared internet cache and downloaded update. I get same results with 3.99 in ME. I uninstalled again with dbpoweramp install and tried with windows uninstall with same results, "unable to write, Disk full? This time it did prompt for reboot to remove some files - same results. First time for reboot request. Guess I will have to continue with 3.97.
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Monkeys Audio Release 7 Beta 2

Ok I will dig out an old laptop with Windows 98 on and investigate.
