Why...
do
some features not work when Always Ontop Mode is selected?
does
MP3.Cat sometimes not restore when I click the icon on the taskbar?
doesn't
the Enqueue function work for me?

Why do some features not work when Always Ontop
Mode is selected?
When Always Ontop mode is enabled, the MP3.Cat
windows float ontop of all other windows. Unfortunately this
includes some of its own windows. This means that sometimes when you click
on a button, the window that normally pops up
gets hidden behind another window, and the program seems frozen. We're still
working to correct this.

Why does MP3.Cat sometimes not restore when I
click the icon on the taskbar?
This problem arises when when Show On Taskbar
mode is enabled, and you press the minimize button. It works
fine untill you try to restore the window. We're working to correct this problem,
but untill we do you will just have to click
the icon two or three times untill the window appears. This bug is eeeevil.
It is the fru-it of the dev-eel.

Why doesn't the Enqueue function work for me?
The Enqueue function only works with Winamp!
If you do not have Winamp, you should probably get it (you're welcome
Nullsoft) but If you don't have it, this feature will not work. In future
version I hope to make this feature compatible
with other MP3 players. If you DO have Winamp and it still doesn't
work, go into the MP3.Cat Settings and make
sure the Winamp Path is correct. As far as compatibility with different Winamp
versions... I know it should work with Winamp
2.6x and 2.7x, and most likely many other versions.
