Before Installing

How to use the update notes.

A release note tells you what changed. It does not replace a short test recording on your own computer and playback source.

  • Start from the Download Center so the installer path and current version are close together.
  • Make a short test recording before a long radio, class, webinar, or playlist session.
  • Check the saved file, format, metadata, artwork, and output folder before changing several settings.
  • When contacting support, include the version number, operating system, playback source, and what changed after updating.
