Topic: Crazy?? [can't add to playlist, can't launch]

I have a Mac G4 OS X 10.5.5

I first downloaded Cog and was very happy.  One day the cue simply didn't work.  OK, I reloaded Cog.  Alas, Cog .07 would come up, and I would attempt to drag something onto it, and NADA.  It would stick, or take.  Tried opening with, and it would open with .06, but the new model wouldn't recognize APE or anything else.  OK, so I use .06, and accept the cues don't register. 

Now tonight, in the middle of a nice song sequence, Cog stops.  I try to restart it, and it won't- comes up, and shuts down. I tried to delete cog from my system, redownload it, and start again.  But each time I redownload, it remembers the songs it held at the shut down, and shuts down.  I try again to delete Cog entirely from my computer and begin all over again.  I think I have done so, but alas, no.  I redownload, and it shows the old song titles and shuts down. 

So I have two problems, 1) the Cog .07 doesn't play or recognize material dragged onto it.  And 2) the older .06 now has a bug and won't open.  Nor will it seem to leave my computer, as I continue to try to put Cog in the trash to begin again, but it always seems to remember.! 

Can someone help me get out of this mess?  thanks, B

Re: Crazy?? [can't add to playlist, can't launch]

Something had gone horribly wrong. Take a look at ~/Library/Logs/CrashReports/ and look for Cog crashes and send them to me.

As for the other problem, it sounds like you're hitting a known issue with the playlist view. Try removing ~/Library/Preferences/org.cogx.cog.plist and com.vspader.cog.plist and seeing if that fixes the problem. If it does, you should consider updating to the unstable build so it doesn't happen again.
