Dragging sets with MP3 into the session crash Live 6

This bug is ALWAYS reproductible on both of my computers.

Step by step:

1. Open Live
2. Drag a set containing a MP3 into the session
3. Live starts analyzing the files (it ALWAYS analyzes, even if there's already an .als file)
4. Crash

When I open the offending sets directly they work... the problem happens when I drag them into the session.

This is a HUGE problem to me because my whole set is improvised on spot, dragging files like crazy to the session view. If I can't do that, why use Live in first place? I did this all the time on Live 5 and never had any problem. It's a Live 6 thing.

I've been reading stuff on the forums about having quicktime installed for mp3 decoding, but get this: my desktop has quicktime while my notebook doesn't. As I said, the bug happens on both computers.

I've already sent a request support on this and also have made the same tests on the latest beta with the same results.

Now, seriously, if the next bugfix version (6.0.2) doesn't fix this, I'll want my upgrade money back. That and the Sampler license, since I'll be going back to live 5. It's completely impossible for me right now to use Live, er, live.

Anyone else with this problem?

Hi,

there is no known problem with dragging mp3 files to Live, making crash the application. Does it happen with one specific mp3? If so, can you send it to me at [email protected]?

Kind regards,
Amaury

Sorry, I didn't make this bit clear: it's not all MP3s that crash live, but a good number of them make it crash. Specifically, a good number of live sets saved with "collect and save" which have MP3s inside them are making it crash.

I sent a support request some hours ago containing two crashing sets along with my template set. I'll forward the email to you.

Thanks!

Hello fzero,

this should be fixed within the latest beta 6.0.2b6:

Worked like a charm, thanks! When will the final 6.0.2 be released?
