Downloaded and installed no problem. Works well. Would be more useful to people with a more deverse collection of music format wise.

I like the humor on the settings page.

I don't. It's seems to me very little time & effort was put into this program.

Excellent news!

I love this program. I use it almost every day, but I thought  development had stopped.

Great to see a new version for me to try out!

Thanks.

Thanks Gambit, even though I don't use it really that often it's quite good to have tools like this up one's sleeve.
BTW - I would change MPEGplus to musepack for its reasons

Eh? It has a decent interface and does what it says on the tin. What's not to like?

Somebody has taken the time to write a good piece of software and release under the GPL so you can use and modify it for free. Which prompts you to complain about the time and effort that went into it? Incredible.

It seems to me that very little time & effort was put into that response, which is simultaneously one of the funniest, and most appauling I have ever read. 

Program is absolutely useful, thanks again Gambit!

Seconded.  This would make it much more useful.

Since i know that you were unsure for a while if you wanted to continue this, i'm very happy to see 0.6 being released. I'm using this app quite often and life would be a tiny bit more annoying for me without it. Thanks.

westgroveg seems to, for some reason, have something against me. I don't know why, but I would prefer if you would keep it out of here. If you don't like my apps, don't use them. Nobody forces you to. And if you have a problem with me, you can talk to me directly, PM, ICQ, IRC, mail, whatever - it's not difficult to get in touch with me.

I'll add that. I wanted to put out 0.6 before I start making bigger changes, since the beta was out for a long time already.

Cool.  Thanks for the quick response.

I sincerely hope the options do all work.  I'm relying on MrQ for my Tachyon screening and advanced anti-proton scan (Spybot S&D  is sincerely lacking in this respect).

[span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%']Mr. QuestionMan 0.7 released![/span]
[span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%']IMPORTANT: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....20#entry282920[/span]

Hi!

I decided to make a contribution to HydrogenAudio.org, thus I modified Mr. Question 0.6 [quite] a bit and labeled it as 0.7. Hope you like it!!!

You can grab Mr. QuestionMan 0.7 here:
(Link removed.)

Here is the changelog:

0.6 to 0.7 ChangeLog
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Ability to scan recursively (with customizable level of recursivity)
* Now, selecting a folder does not start scanning by default. Instead, I
  introduced a new button "Scan!". Also, there is now an option - "Autoscan"
  whose job is to work exactly as previous, e.g. selecting a folder => start
  scanning
* All fonts changed to Tahoma for a better xp-erience
* Window size defaults now to desktop width/height (a.k.a. full-screen
+ Mr QuestionMan remembers now last scanned folder on exit
+ XP theme support
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warning
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, rembember that this version (0.7) is, at this time, unnoficial, as the
modifications were made by me, Miriam (a.k.a. Vlad) and not by Gambit.
Thus, I am NOT responsible for any damages, sexual agressions or the like that
this program may produce...

Is that hardcoded or are you using the default system font?

The modified version 0.7 is a bit slower than Gambit's 0.6. Moreover, it does not show which preset has been used or if it's an alpha.

with Vorbis sometimes (rarely) nominal 192 is reported as 193Kbps

found 4 rips like this in my files,

other soft (Winamp, VorbisExt ...) reports 192 on the same files ...

is it a MrQM bug ?

yep, but otherwise it's pretty nice. In addition, is it possible to display the *real* average bitrate? And not just the average bitrate for each file...for instance, if I have 2 files; one has a duration of 10 seconds and an average bitrate of 220kbps and the second one plays 600 seconds and has an average bitrate of 170kbps, the average bitrate according to Mr. Question Man would be 195kbps...however, the real average bitrate is only 170,8kbps...

thanks

That's right, I'll try to improve the speed. I will fix the preset issue as soon as possible. 0.7.1 will follow soon.

I'll take a look on that.

It is hardcoded. Before was also hardcoded (MS Sans Serif).

It should span on all monitors. Technically, it tries to span on (all) available work area.

Exactly. Some ppl may be reticent by the fact this version is [currently] unofficial.

Cheers folks!
