I actually fixed it. I Whitelisted everything in Avast in the Exceptions, Firewall, and the Shields. Then i uninstalled MB, cleaned my Registry, ran Defrag, re-booted, then Re-installed. Works like a Charm! I want to take this opportunity to tell you that you my Friend are a Diamond amongst the Rocks. MusicBee is THE ultimate Media Player of ALL TIME! You have shown ALL the others how it's done! MB is absolutely Amazing! I've told all my friends on FB and elsewhere bout your' Program. The time, effort, and hard work you spent creating this Program must be unfathomable. You ever decide to go commercial with this you'll have a "goldmine" on your' hands. I'd buy it in a "heartbeat". Am a disabled Nam Vet and get a small check each month but next month will be sending you a little something. Thank you so much for what you do! MusicBee is a music lovers dream!
