Napster Beta 8 has.....how do you say....ah yes, BUGS!!

[tallfarmboy]

Napster Beta 8 is out but it will not let you choose a folder to download music into...The only place I can get songs to download to is in the root drive C: I can not select any other folders or subfolders of any sort. If anyone knows of a fix, I would love to find one. Beta 8 does have its advantages, such as being able to change file names within Napster and being skinnable, however, that bug pisses me off enough to stay with Beta 7 until 8 is fixed...

Aaahhh

/me has the same problem.

Since there weren't many problems with Beta 7, that would be the "fix".

Same problem here :(

Now my sister wont know were to find her new mp3 when she downloads them, since they wont be in her common folder...

I guess Napster didn't beta test the new release... hehe

[Riksruin]

Beta 8 wont even log in for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If anyone else did what I did, and deleted the beta 7 installer before trying 8, the old client can be downloaded from

http://www.nappytools.com/

The site is a little slow, but they've got every version released.

[whee]

I had the same problem. I uninstalled Napster beta 8, removed the directory, and cleaned out the registry. I then reinstalled Napster beta 8 and it now saves to the correct directory.

I installed Napster Beta 8 on my computer, that never got Npaster installed on(old computer with fresh install), and It would just run fine (no problem with choosing the D/l folder) so I assume that deleting the previously installed version and the registry would be A possible fix for it...

(My (old) computer is a 486 dx2 66 and Napster is running very fast! so I do appreciate all the amelioration made to Napster B7! Wish it could resumebroken d/l one day!...)

Same thing here.. you'd think they would leave things that are working fine alone and fix the apparent bugs...maybe they hired some Microsoft people?

Call me old fashioned but I still use version 4 of Napster. It has working resume. Of course, if I was really smart, I'd get audiognome

Go to http://www.audiognome.com to dl it. It really does kick some putang.

[flatmatt]

If you uninstall your previous version first, it should work. Did for me. I love that rename feature.

By the way, if you want beta 7, just copy the link from the download page of beta 8 at http://www.napster.com and replace the 8 with a 7.

Hold up, since when wuz Napster 8 skinnable? I never heard about this.

[Gigabyte]

HOLY SHIT!!! Skinable?

Bugs will soon take over Earth and we will be forced to download to C: and who knows...

For you people with bug infested software try adding BUGS=OFF to your CONFIG.SYS. I did this and my software never has bugs. It just develops "random features". Now I don't have to worry about changing the DL folder to the correct one because of a nice little "feature".

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

Upgrade - When the programers take old bugs out, and put new ones in.

Read my chips: No new upgrades!
