Audiophilia - The shntool frontend, v0.0.1 released, alpha testers needed

OK, to all those people who have been scared off by installing and/or using shntool, the first shntool graphical interface for multiple file formats is here. I have released this program though the Sourceforge page, and am looking for some people to run through some alpha tests.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/audiophilia/

This is NOT fully functional yet, so if you're looking for a mature product, you're going to have to wait for another month or so. Right now, the program will only generate md5, ffp, and shntool md5s from a folder full of shn/flac/ape files. But it will also install shntool and the binaries, which has provided a good deal of people difficulty. This is a major step, and Audiophilia is the first program with an automated windows installer interface for shntool.

Note that this product has only been tested on my system, and I need detailed feedback from people on how to improve/build this product. Please download and help me make this a foolproof utility for working with shntool.

Also, if anyone has experience with Visual Basic and would like to review the code and offer advice, please let me know and I can add you to the Sourceforge project.

What OS are you on? Did the program start or do that after you tried to use one of the controls? I guess the installer ran through OK?

It worked for me. I'm on NT. But, I didn't bother to uninstall anything. I'll try it on my kids machine which has never had shntool installed at all.

Dennis, what error are you getting? When? Can you confirm that md5sum.exe was installed in your C:\Windows directory?

I don't get an error, just nothing happens.

I do have this file, created today, in the C:\Windows|Prefetch folder:

MD5SUM.EXE-19ae0298.pf

I guess, since we don't want wholefile MD5s anymore, this isn't that big a deal. And I can always make one the old way, anyhow!

Re: Audiophilia - The shntool frontend, v0.0.1 released, alpha testers needed

my other question would be - when I do a shntool MD5, the window C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe opens, and the file does get produced. However, nothing (i.e progress) shows in the window, so I don't know how to tell it is finished or not.

Yup...not much in the way of feedback there, I know it. shntool md5s do take some time, so just be patient for a bit, and the cmd window will close when it's done.
