12/17/03	MP3 CD Burner 3.01 (build 61)
	If in Fast burn mode, it would not wait for it to finish parsing songs...Unfortunately, it was waiting...and yet not parsing. If burning an MP3 data CD/DVD and you were close to the limit, it would have a burn failure. Bug fixes for burning WMA files Fix for situation when drive letters are in the wrong order for Goldenhawk. (Note that you must use the Acoustica ASPI to see this fix.

02/28/03	MP3 CD Burner 2.9992
	Default the burning engine to Goldenhawk, as it appears more reliable at this point. If no cd recorders are found, we auto switch to Gear. Note this will only happen if you have never installed the software before. Anyone having problems with the old versions, might install this version and then go into Preferences and switch to the Goldenhawk burning engine. We are working on resolving the issues related to Gear, but this will take at least a month. Automatic warning if you have installed the Intel Application Accelerator. There is a conflict when using our software with the Gear engine. More info here. Now installing the Acoustica ASPI drivers by default. Fix for audio CDs that have a data track as the first track. This would happen on mixed mode CDs such as a computer game with a CD audio session as the second session.
02/24/03	MP3 CD Burner 2.9991
	Bug Fix: In some cases, the first frame of an MP3 was getting corrupted by the id3v2 tag...it would have resulted in an occasional MP3 with wild looking bitrate info. Bug Fix: In some cases, when launching the cd burner with an audio cd in the drive, it would think that there was a blank cd in the drive. Logging change. We now only store one file when there is a crash which is called 'cdburner-crash.txt'. Also, the user is not notified of this file being created. This will simplify support and still allow us to diagnose hard to reproduce problems.

	- Fix for ripping error prone tracks with Gear and rip retries. - Standard open/save file dialogs would not show My Docs and My Desktop on some systems. - Launching browser fix (Purchase page and others would not come up. ;0)

	- Fix for searching Desktops on Win95,Win98 & WinME - Fix for crash when trial is expired and you don't enter a reg code. (Was harmless as the program would shut down, anyhow. - Due to mem leak in the Acoustica ASPI, we disable polling of the CDR status. This should cut down on mem leaks.

05/24/01	MP3 CD Burner 1.091
