Well, as I said, I don't make a great deal of use of the library, so that really presents no immediate problem for me. My Audigy card does support 24 bit playback. That's why I was so surprised that I hadn't gotten around to using it up to now. I didn't realise that Winamp contained an option for 24 bit playback. I had the MAD plugin for a couple of years before I made that discovery. I had tried the 24 bit option in MAD, and it simply sounded flat, but when I discovered that option in Winamp, and then also set MAD for 24 bit, my whole world changed forever <g>.

According to the Hydrogen audio forums, the media library support is very limited at this point so if you are someone who uses the media library heavily, I'd stay away from Mad for a while. also, unless your sound card supports 24-bit playback, configuring the plugin and winamp to play in 24-bit mode won't improve the sound any so you'd might as well leave everything at 16-bit if that's the maximum that your sound card can support.

If my first impressions hold, this new one really kicks ass.
