For all your Gmail users, Just another way of keeping up & one that isn't as confusing as the latest file is always on top - use Google drive & link to the MQN folders on SGBK's google drive.
Always have the latest version even before it is announced :)

Delighted to see you are still alive Gordon! Welcome aboard very much hope you continue the development and discussions here.
You can thank John and Nige2000 for their herculean efforts to get people to give it a listen.And we are grateful.

No you will not experience any hassle here but you might need to bring some of your programming heads here as that end is a non runner for me and some others.

Seriously though, well done on your efforts so far - it really is quite extraordinary.

a) am i right that I need windows-7 [or later] and that it will not work with xp or vista
Yep & 64 bit Win 7 or 8
b) i have a sound card [m-audio] with analogue and digital out; will it work with this or is it just for usb output
Shouldn't be a problem working with this card, I believe
c) do i need a particular modern cpu
Thanks
james
No, most CPUs now can handle SSe2 or SSE4 instructions - run a utility called CPUID to find out or do a search of your CPU to check this

Thanks ..
I have a copy of the win-8 beta [the free version] and I assume it will still work.
My CPU is a pentium D with two processors [2.8Ghz] and 1.5G ram
This is an old machine I can 'play' with.
I will probably just try loading it to see if it works .. but I will have to backup the current system which is XP.
My main machine is Vista and I can't upgrade it withou losing lots of pre-installed software

Finding it funny reading JPlay forum about their 5.1 version, a few weeks after I started developung MQn I offered it to them asking why they couldn't produce an engine that sounded like MQn, needless to say there was no reply. Imagine my surprise when JPlay 5.1 was released with a new ultrastream engine, ha, ha, not the first time they have used one of my ideas - I told them I was getting better sound in v4.2 by making it realtime priority, next thing you know JPlay has real time priority. Anyway, the funny thing about 5.1 is that I read a post saying Ultrastream was now this user's favorite engine, but it sounded too slow. If only they had taken me up on my offer they could have got the speed right, maybe they will do an MQn sounding version later.
I found this interesting because ULTRAStream is made for KS, and JPlay authors said that is not possible to make it also for WASAPI, and MQn only use WASAPI.
