Known problems
 | Calaym will not react on menu clicks when reading directories or loading songs | ||||
| Skipping tracks will use previous/next playlist entry, not last played tracks. On random mode, Calaym will always play a random playlist item. | ||||
| When clicking on the icon in the taskbar notification area to restore Calaym window, a clickevent may be triggered for the icon next to the Calaym icon | ||||
| When crossfading between streams (wav/mp3/wma...) from the same CD/DVD/BD, sound might 'stutter' | ||||
| When using Ctrl+[key], and releasing Ctrl before [key], Calaym may react on [key] | ||||
| |||||
| Some keyboards cannot handle multiple pressed keys at the same time, especially when using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<Key>. | ||||
| When playing games on Windows 95, 98 and ME, you must hold global keys for a short time to work | ||||
| FMOD and FMOD Ex might have issues with Audio CD playback. Try using BASS instead. | ||||
| When Calaym does not get enough resources, it sometimes aborts (ends) the current song and goes to the next one | ||||
| Depending on the sound system, crossfading will not work with/between some formats, especially midi files and CD audio tracks. | ||||
| On some systems sound may stutter after several hours. Use the 'Reset sound system' function to fix. | ||||
| Enhanced multiselect works with mouse only | ||||

| Winhelp (WinHlp32) and HtmlHelp (chm) do not support unicode filenames, so the short filename is used, if available. On Windows Vista and 7, Winhelp (WinHlp32) must be installed seperately (which still does not support unicode filenames) | ||||
| Sometimes when scrolling the playlist, the current selected item is drawn on another playlist item and vice versa. Probably an Windows 98 (95, ME) issue | ||||
| Media information, especially the bitrate, may not be accurate. Tag reading and datatype handling may not work perfectly on all sound systems (Especially when encountering invalid information). When having multiple tags within one file, it is unpredictable which one is actually used (ID3v1/Ansi fields are only used for the year or track number, or if unicode (UTF8/UTF16) data for that type of field is missing or blank). | ||||
| On Windows NT series, playlists are saved as m3u8 files (UTF8 with byte order mark). On Windows 95, 98 and ME, playlists are saved as m3u files (ansi). Other playlist formats can be imported/exported only, their filename is therefore not remembered as current playlist; You will be asked for a new filename when trying to save again. On Windows 95, 98 and ME, only ansi playlists are supported for loading/importing. |
