Great news that could be really helpful for everyone affected.
It’s so cool that someone from outside the company has developed such a workaround app, making it much easier to solve these problems afterward.
Many thanks to @robinhow!
But of course, it would be much better if these problems didn’t occur in the first place.
The suggestion, which even @MarkF supports, would naturally still be a better solution than having to repair corrupted files afterward.
And A&H hasn’t denied the possibility, and if it’s technically feasible, it shouldn’t be a feature request, but rather a given that it should be implemented in the affected consoles CQ, QU and SQ.
Btw.: @robinhow
Couldn’t you also lend A&H a hand with your expertise by developing a modern audio player that could be integrated into the aforementioned series? 
Thanks again!
