Hello, I've been away from home for a while, and have not been able tp play with MusicFab. When I got home yesterday, version 1.0.2.1 was waiting for install. I'm happy to say, (and as @StPeterOrding2015 has noted) that the "Protected Content" screen has not come up at all during the short time that I have had to delve into things. (1.0.1.9 was still slightly problematical for me) My Nice got me a subscription to Amazon Music while I was in Virginia, (I'm currently living in Florida), and I have had no issues with that platform locking out the MusicFab Browser. Although MusicFab is still dumping multi-disc albums into a single directory, my (more) major issues have been addressed, and the software appears to be "functional", and "Usable". I have supported the work that the dedicated staff and developers have been doing, and am the proud owner of an "All In One" license.
In the near future, I would like to see Multi-Disc albums sorted in their proper directories, and downloads sorted by \artist\album\disc#\tracks. (It's currently \album\tracks). This would allow downloading tracks and albums from multiple artists in a single session, and not have Tracks/Albums from several artists mixed into a single directory. I work around this issue by only downloading a single artist per session, and tucking the albums/tracks into an artist folder that I create. As far as multi-disc albums, well... it's still a thorn in my side. Fortunately, single disc albums are more the norm and far outweigh the multi's. The Track selection screen sometimes (still) fails to show up when an album is selected. A quick restart generally cures this, and previously selected content remains in the que after restart.
Note: When I select an album for the download que, they are sorted by disc, but when I dump the album into the que, I only see one directory with all of the album tracks in it.
For those that have been sitting on the fence about purchasing a license; in spite of those shortcomings mentioned above, It is no longer a major struggle to use the Software, and I believe that in spite of the few remaining issues, the benefit that you will get would be well worth the price of the ticket. For those in my social circle who might prefer offline listening, I will mention this Software.
Yes, there are still a few "quirks" and issues; but based on the resolution of the myriad of issues that plagued this software in the beginning, I feel that the developers and staff will continue to make this software better and better.
