Donny,
Just downloaded QM. When I tell it to read my dbPowerAMP MMC file, it garbles the file, dropping characters. Once I do this, my orginal MMCfile is trash and I have to create it from scratch. What am I doing wrong? :(

It's for the Enqued files not the MMC.... that wraps it up... Take a look at the help file for more

So now it's been a long while - seems about 635 days since the last update.
so here is what you can find in the news section of the about menu in the new QueMaster:

version 1.4 (April 2007)
===============================================
More than 3 years have passed since the original releases, and this time it's been a lot more than a year between releases. Don't know why actually, I had most of the changes done a long while ago, just didn't pack and upload. well the help needed a few touches.
It has also been a very long time since dap had a new version, and although there is still stuff to do with QM, I'm not sure when or if there will be more versions.
If you need any features, try asking for them on the forums (offical dap or dap fan club at aussiecommunity), there is a good chanse I'll do it, or at least say something about it...

- the new time display in the big info mode...
- the refreshed 3D icon

. minor changes:
- max procedure tweaked a bit. better remembers the position.
note: seems much better to use the max(=) button then to double click the title
- some potential loading bugs fixed
- no reg touching for finding dap directory (QM must be in the same dir as dbpoweramp)
- some source reformating for better readability and easier updateing

This should sum up the things that are added in the newest version, although it is posible that there are a few minor things that I maybe forgot writing down

version 1.5 (February 2008)
===============================================
on request: connection to a TextToSpeech system, using the Microsoft SAPI 5
You are able to select any installed voice (including for instance the paid voices from AT&T), and you can also customize it's rate and volume.
-When the TTS is active, first the volume of dap is lowered by an amount defined in the options, and when it done, it returns the volume to the original state.
- automatic speaking on track change, can be enabled from the options panel.
- new "Speak" button under the queue list so that it can be called whenever

NOTE: All versions of Windows XP have the speech engine in by default, so there shouldn't be any problems with this feature. But due to lack of testing on older systems (such as win98), I am unsure how will QM behave on systems that don't have it installed. It is posible that QM will even refuse to start. Feel free to report any such weird behaviour.

changed the ini format just a tiny bit. it will now sort all the fields inside,
so you can easily find them if needed. don't worry about conversion, it will auto load the previous 1_3 file, and save the new version. you can then delete the old file if you wish, thou it's size is about 1 kb, so it won't burden your hard drive. the 1_5 version should be backward compatible.

- fixed a bug involving IO errors when using the infopanel, especially when starting QM with it open. now it uses threads and surely waits for the analisys process to finish. you now also have a button on the info panel for refreshing.
it seems that it still rarely refuses to show the info, but at least it doesn't bother you with error boxes.
- fixed a bug which didn't save the checked state of the "close dap on exit" in options.
- small layout change:infopanel is now up when locked, and playlists are down.
- some tweaking about the loading procedures
