No real news, just wishing merry Christmas and
happy New Year to all MP3 Manager's users! Thanks to all betatesters and all
other people which were contacting me in 1998 with their comments/wishes/bug
reports. You are really helping me to make the MP3 Manager better and more
useful. My plans to 1999? Continue with new versions :-)

MP3 Manager 32 updated to version 4.11.
Changes: incompatibility with chinese(!) Windows95 (error message on startup)
solved, help file corrected, MP3 Manager should now look better if another
than "standard" color scheme has been set in Control Panel.
|
|
MP3 Manager 32 version 4.1 is here! It
took exactly 4 months to finish the 4.1... unbelievable :-). Enjoy it!
|
|
I am still alive :-) I am sorry for all that delay,
but there was quite a trouble making bug in last beta of 4.1. I hope it is
ok now. Today rc2 has been sent to betatesters, I hope you will get the final
really soon! BTW MIR 2.0 with lots of new features has been uploaded today,
so take at least the MIR!
|
Few things:
1. My betatesters have the beta 1 of 4.1 finally, if no big bugs will
be found, 4.1 could be released within next week. I am not able to set exact
date, however.
2. I've removed the "showstat" counter... too unreliable these days.
3. Because of multiple requests from users I've signed for a free Guestbook
and Web Forum (messageboard) at Bravenet.
For the Guestbook and Web Forum see bottom of this page. Maybe it can be useful
for you if you have a problem with MP3 Manager... or from any other reason.
Any experienced user can answer and help. Because I hate spam, I am recommending
to you to add some "nospam" code to your mail address, if you decide
to sign for a guestbook or add new forum entry.

The MIR
(MP3-ID3Tag-Renamer) has been upgraded to version 1.1 today. From
new features I would like to mention the undo function which ensures the renaming
process to be much safer. In the time I was away for few days, I was not able
to let you know about the new versions of the Lyrics3
Tag Editor and Plugin for Winamp. Be sure to take all this software.
About MP3 Manager development:
Although my time for development is now very limited, I am finishing beta
1 of 4.1 version these days. I would like to mention few changes which are
prepared: The new indexing system - maximum acceptable length of filename
will not be cut to 150 characters anymore; uppercase/lowercase names will
be sorted in the same way (that means that the lowercase names will not be
placed on end of the list)... maybe you think that these changes are minor,
but that's not true at all. All these changes are necessary for future development
(and believe me, it takes a lot of time). Also there will be possible to select
font for the track list, and changes in the sound volume control system are
prepared.

Although version 4.0 does not have all of the planned
features, I've decided to make it available now... so all of you can use connection
to the All Music Guide and International Lyrics Server without problems again
(there were changes on these sites). So: I will now have 2 weeks holiday...
and you can get the version 4.0 in the meantime!
|
|
Bad piece of news - All Music Guide changed the link
to online database so the direct access from MP3 Manager does not work currently.
Bad is that I am in middle of work on version 4.0 and I don't know if I will
be able to correct access to AMG quickly.
|
|
I am here again (for 2 weeks this time only, then
I will have another holiday... yay!). I've worked on version 4.0 a little...
and if all will go ok, then first feature for 4.0 will be main window resizing
on the fly. Common feature, I know... but programming language used is not
supporting window resizing directly. I found a trick, how to do it, however
(I am quite happy!). Together with window resizing it will be possible to
increase number of columns in track list (columns where you will be able to
find out if track has lyrics, timestamps, author, images... plus column for
path+filename). There is a lot of work which has to be done just with this
"simple" feature... plus some other features, so it will definitely
take some time to have 4.0 ready. My personal estimate for release is during
September... but I will try to keep you updated :-)
|
|
I will be away till July 12. Your e-mails will be not
answered in the meantime. But I plan to work on version 4.0 a little :-). See
you in one week!
|
|
Unbelievable... another 2 bugs fixed... plus one useful
feature; MP3 Manager 32 version 3.93 released.
|
|
Another 2 bugs fixed... MP3 Manager 32 version 3.92
released.
|
|
MP3 Manager 32 version 3.91 released. Few bugs
removed.
|
I've finally updated the Lyrics3 Tag specifications page with newest
addition - images support. Let me remind you of last version of MP3
Manager 32 (v3.9) which is able to edit/display images linked to mp3
files.
But not only MP3 Manager! New versions of Lyrics3
Plugin (1.09) and Lyrics3 Editor (1.05) by Alon Gingold were released
with slideshow capability (and a lot of other new features) yesterday
evening. All this software - Winamp, MP3 Manager 32, Lyrics3 Plugin+Editor
works now together as a complete multimedia device: music, lyrics, images,
informations.
