NEW

  • Added alerts to remind when quitting Pure Music to reduce the volume in the streaming source application (when the default setting of Automatically Activate Streamthrough is used) to avoid a potentially loud playback volume setting when the default system sound device is restored to its original setting
  • Minor cosmetic change to UI (prevent resizing vertically)
  • Minor change to startup sequence eliminated issue which prevented automatic Streamthrough from working, if using a DSD DoP DAC
  • Changed name of Playthrough to Streamthrough
  • New option to automatically hide iTunes when entering Streamthrough mode (will put up alert if manually entering Streamthrough)
  • New option to automatically start Streamthrough when audio is detected playing from any other source on the computer
  • Eliminated cause of unexpected quit if quitting Pure Music while Streamthrough mode was in effect
  • Eliminated cause of unexpected quit in Streamthrough mode
  • Eliminated cause of Streamthrough going silent after about 15 minutes
  • Corrected issue where "Purchased" files from iTunes which are protected but have a kind as "Purchased" did not automatically activate Streamthrough (tracks purchased before approximately 2007)
  • Doesn't automatically switch to Streamthrough on launch, if Streamthrough was automatically invoked by iTunes in the previous session
  • Saves iTunes linked volume setting when entering Streamthrough, and restores when leaving. Automatically sets iTunes volume to 100% in Streamthrough, for best quality when playing iTunes Internet Radio or other iTunes Streamthrough - supported formats
  • DSD flag preference default reset to 05FA for all Pure Music users (this affects legacy Pure Music users who may have recently acquired a DSD native streaming device)
  • DSD Streaming Device flag checkbox not toggled if changing flag format with Option key
  • Check box option to ignore DSD DoP "Whitelist" device name
  • New check box to Analyze Tracks for Gapless (checked by default); if unchecked, will treat all albums as Gapless

  • Eliminated cause of erratic behavior in iTunes 12
  • Fixed a cause of the Waiting for Media overlay not being dismissed
  • Slightly revised and trimmed UI of main window: renamed Pure Music 2.0 text to Pure Music 2; eliminated horizontal spacer placard
