Pure Vinyl 5b30

- Fixed problem causing choosing a custom destination for Rendered tracks to fail

- Optimized file loading and display speed when loading albums with preferred starting side and track set
- Corrected regression issue introduced in Pure Vinyl 5 preview preventing display of time remaining while recording, and currently playing track
- Corrected issue caused by too long of a string entered in the Comment field of the Recording window throwing an error which was incorrectly reported as being a busy file
- When opening a file that was previously open in the same session, and switching from Recording mode, explicitly opens file instead of just switching modes. Therefore, any new settings made to file and saved will be reloaded (such as preferred starting track / side)
- Corrected issue when using Render Selected in conjunction with Render As Side ignoring the Render As Side setting
- New feature to Render As Album Sides while ignoring any track markers (include all audio from time coordinate zero for that side to the end of the side)

- Fixed issue that could prevent Preview Levels from working properly when normalizing on a per-track basis (some tracks were not normalized to full scale, but just to relative album value)
- Restored the Miscue button
- Added Disclosure triangle to Render Options to hide the LKFS Normalization options in Advanced mode
- Play Trimmed function button while in Editor mode will flip the LP when the recording is playing and it reaches the OUT marker of the last track. Prior to this new Play Trimmed function it would only observe the OUT marker when not in Editor mode

- Render side as single track in "selected track" mode just renders the displayed side
- Fixed issue when toggling Record mode after opening or playing a non-RIAA file improperly setting RIAA EQ mode
