x86 Vista... doesn't work. Timeline? Crashes after install and when it tries to run. Can someone look into this and give some sort of release time line.... that would be great. Or will have to look for another (less suitable) option. =(
Posted by: RezzZ on Sep. 27 2006,14:15
I would also be verry happy to see Vista support
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Oct. 13 2006,23:16
I will look into it when the final version of Vista is released, in order not to do double work if they change something. Stay tuned...
Posted by: prisaz on Oct. 22 2006,16:37
Perhaps This will help. Vista is at RC2 and due to release soon. Sorry for the double post.

arrrgggg.... when will support for vista be available... this is taking forever..... sorry, but i wanna buy this software.....but I am using Windows Vista and its not compatible with it.
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Nov. 20 2006,21:54
Sorry for the delay, there are some problems that need some effort to solve.
Posted by: XaCo on Nov. 24 2006,19:33
Like most programs, run it in Windows XP compatibility mode? Anyone tried that yet?
Find the .exe file, right click, properties, compatibility mode, XP and try again.
Posted by: TiQz on Nov. 24 2006,23:26
of course I did.... and i am pretty sure everyone else did that too.... still, it doesnt work
Posted by: TiQz on Dec. 11 2006,05:18
Hi Magnus..... sorry for been a pain in the butt... but I am just wondering if its possible for us to know the current progress on Mp3-Tag Studio regarding Windows Vista support... and if possible what release date are you aiming for ???
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Dec. 11 2006,10:10
Sorry, can't say any date.
Posted by: jowaldo on Jan. 23 2007,00:59
I know its still kinda early, but hopin this may get added soon
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Jan. 23 2007,01:40
As soon as I get a copy of Vista I will try to fix it as soon as possible. Vista final still hasn't been released to consumers you know...
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Feb. 19 2007,19:33
New version is released now, with experimental Vista support (I don't have any Vista machine to test it on myself, but please go ahead and let me know about your results here in this thread).
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Feb. 23 2007,01:37
Could someone please test run this attached program in Vista, and report back the results?

Thanks for the confirmation. Thus it is confirmed that the problem lies within the protection wrapper program "Asprotect" that I'm using, it does not work with Windows Vista.
And the Asprotect "company" (well, "bunch of criminals" is a better description) completely screwed me over and refuse to let me download the latest version of it, because they all of a sudden apparently decided to "change their business model" from the lifetime updates license that I actually paid them for, to a per-year subscription where I have to pay each year for all new updates. I guess they found a "clever" way to make money off their own buggy software... I tried not to be prejudiced towards doing business with a Russian company when purchasing this program, and this is what I get for it. Let's just say it was the last time... So, if anyone ever comes across the product "Asprotect", don't ever purchase it! They just take your money and then don't give you what they promised!
This will result in a longer delay for Vista support in Mp3/Tag Studio, because I must find and integrate another supplier for this kind of module.

Hopefully, this'll help some of you. MP3/Tag Studio is working just fine here in an XP Pro Virtual Machine running on my Vista Ultimate system.
It ain't pretty, but it works. It's free, and it'll allow you to use MP3/Tag Studio on your Vista system while Magnus is off crafting a Vista release.
Download and install < Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007 >.
Load up your old Windows XP install, setup the virtual machine's Shared Folders so it can see your "real" hard drive, and install your copy of MP3/Tag Studio.
Sync

Thanks for the tips SyncRaider! Don't give up though people, a compatible version will come.

Can I ask this is also tested works on Vista x64 (even in 32 bit mode), please?
Posted by: schoelle on June 24 2007,09:58
Any update on Vista support? I tried every tagging software out there, and this is by far the best. So it's a shame that this software does not run on Vista ;-) Will buy as soon as it is Vista ready.
Posted by: Magnus Brading on June 25 2007,10:53
Thanks for the kind words, I will try to get it released as soon as possible, sorry for the delay.

No apologies necessary--we all benefit from your offering of this great software for free. As soon as you get it working on Vista, I'll register, and I hope you'll keep up the great work. If you get around to making artwork and lyrics as friendly and useful as everything else, I'll be very happy.
I'm just curious: why do you use asprotect (or anything like it) at all? No one has to pay to use the software, and if you ever do start requiring payment, the freeloaders will still find a way around any protection you could add. I'm a developer myself, and it seems to me that these things cause more problems than they'll ever solve.
But that's just my $.02.
Posted by: Magnus Brading on July 02 2007,12:24
Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it, I still plan to release a Vista compatible version soon.
And regarding your other question, please email me, since I don't normally discuss such issues on the board.
Posted by: dirk.hartung on Aug. 11 2007,12:17
Any updates?
Can't use Mp3TagStudio currently...
Cheers,
Dirk
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Aug. 12 2007,15:07
Not done yet, but I'll be sure to let you know here on the board when it is.
Posted by: j_m_b on Aug. 23 2007,17:37
In Magnus we trust
with Virtual PC on Vista it's so so so so slow
Posted by: Guest on Sep. 06 2007,00:28
Still no updates on Vista support.
*sighs*
Posted by: Guest on Sep. 15 2007,18:32
i'm also waiting for the vista release and i know i won't find a tagging software as good as this one. anyways, does anyone know of a good alternative to use meanwhile?
Posted by: calberga on Sep. 15 2007,19:49
Windows XP?
On another forum I watch (NoteWorthySoftware) the general opinion is that one should not downgrade to Vista. For example, MIDI Mapper is gone, and some components insist on turning the audio volume down to zero when they close! Next computer I get will have to have XP, not Vista, even if I have to wipe the hard-drive and install it myself.
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Sep. 16 2007,02:20
Yep, Vista seems to suck in more than one way...
BUT, for those of you unfortunate enough to run it, there just might be a surprise for you here sometime tomorrow...
Posted by: YoDJMC on Sep. 16 2007,04:18
Spooky - I haven't checked the forum for weeks, and hey theres some news just an hour ago! I have a whole lotta mp3's on Vista needing some organising!
Is this a beta with Vista support you be tempting us with - please .... I'll buy it this time, honest :-) Count me in for beta-testing when it arrives.
regards, MC.
Posted by: YoDJMC on Sep. 16 2007,04:30
Put my ##### where my mouth is and registered! Just a little more motivation there for you Magnus
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Sep. 16 2007,12:23
Ok, people, keep your fingers crossed... Beta 19 was just released, with improved experimental Vista support. This one really should work in Vista, but I haven't had the possibility to confirm it myself. Please test it and let me know!
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Sep. 16 2007,12:23
And thanks for the support YoDJMC (and everyone else).

I tried loading on my Vista Ultimate system.
<license related question removed>
Furthermore, it "broke" the directory thumbnail feature of
Vista. After installing it, if I opened up a directory of GIFs
or JPGs and selected large icons, I would just get the
placeholder. Once I opened the image, the correct thumbnail
would appear.
Using system restore to revert the system back to just before
I installed the program fixed everything. (I am SO GLAD that
I made a manual check point first!
Keep working on it! I know you can get the bugs out.

Please do not discuss any license related questions on this message board, use direct email to me instead.
Also, that thumbnail problem sounds really strange, does it happen to anyone else?
Posted by: Roger Byrne on Nov. 24 2007,15:12
No problems with the directory thumbnail feature on Vista Home Premium.
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Nov. 26 2007,09:23
Thanks for the confirmation Roger!
Posted by: nomagnashn on June 05 2008,21:39
Interestingly enough, I had beta18 installed and upgraded by putting the beta19 patch on. This involved simply overwriting the existing files with the files included in the patch.
I'm running Vista64 and the app crashed with beta18 and it crashed with the beta19 patch copied in.
However... when I downloaded and completely installed beta19 (over top of the existing install), it works fine. The context menus still don't exist but I don't much care as long as the app runs. I'm sure that'll get worked out eventually.

Hi Magnus,
I Support this motion.
I've been a long time Mp3 Tag Studio user. However one of the BIG and good things of mp3 tag studio was it's context menu. However in my vista 64 it's not there, it is so difficult to keep navigating to all the files.
Magnus .. Please implement context menu on vista 64.
Thank you - Regards Leif.
Posted by: SteveSobel on April 04 2009,08:12
As a long-time registered user of MP3Tag Studio, I'd like to add my vote for implementing shell context menus in Vista 64.
Thanks

Hi there,
I'm a long-time Mp3/Tag user on a Windows XP machine, and of course it is one of the most useful programs there is. However, I have now installed version 3.5 on my sparkly new Vista machine (and even registered this time), and it crashes out when I click on the About... menu. The program is still running, but invisibly, which isn't much use. Is this a common problem, or have I done something daft?
Many thanks in advance - Coby
Posted by: Magnus Brading on Jan. 07 2010,18:18
This is known to happen on some Vista installations, especially when using the Aero Windows GUI.
Please just wait for 5-120 seconds (without clicking anything or pressing any keys), and the about box will pop up eventually.
Posted by: Cobio on Jan. 07 2010,22:43
Perfect - thanks very much. I would not have thought of just waiting to see what would happen!
Thanks again - Coby
