What's New in EasyCD2 v2.2
--------------------------
New Features:
1) New CD database manager program. This new
add-on program to EasyCD2 provides for "off-line"
viewing and editing of entries in the EasyCD2
database. The database manager also allows you to
export the CD entries to a standard "comma-delimited"
text file for import into just about any commercial
database program.
2) New time display options. You can now select from
four time display options for the CD Control Panel
and tray tip displays. These are: track time elapsed,
track time remaining, disc time elapsed, disc time
remaining.
3) Enhanced introduction play mode options. A new
option has been added allow you to automatically
play the middle of each track for a specified period
of time.
4) The track times and CD total play time are now
stored in EasyCD2's database. This allows the user
to view the CD times in the CD database manager
and export the times along with the title information.
5) The popup menu available on the CD Control Panel
now has more of the menu options that were
previously only available from the tray icon menu.
This allows the user to perform the same operations
from either menu.
6) The cddb server list has been updated to reflect the
most recent list of active cddb servers. The changes
are listed below:
New Servers
smurfy.tcimet.net - East Lansing, MI, USA
cddb.dartmouth.edu - Hanover, NH, USA
cddb.westel.hu - Hungary
Removed Servers
cddb.delphi.com - Lowell, MA, USA
Bug Fixes:
1) Repaired the cddb ID generation in EasyCD2.
Previous versions of EasyCD2 generated incorrect
cddb ID's for many CD's. This has been corrected in
this version.
Please read important announcements about EasyCD2
version 2.21 in the file 'Notice.txt'.
2) Fixed a couple of file content errors in the entries
submitted to cddb from EasyCD2.
Please read important announcements about EasyCD2
version 2.21 in the file 'Notice.txt'.
3) When toggling the CD Control Panel "Always On
Top" attribute, you previously needed to exit and
restart EasyCD2 for the change to take effect. This
has been fixed.
4) All popup dialogs now have appropriate tab orders
set for all components.
What Was New In Previous Versions
---------------------------------
New Features In Version 2.10:
1) Full support for the remote cddb server "fuzzy" search.
This greatly increases the success rate for finding your
particular pressing of a CD. EasyCD2 displays a new dialog
when the cddb server returns that a possible match was found.
The dialog displays the list of possible matches. You select
the CD you are currently playing from the list and EasyCD2
retrieves the information for that CD from the cddb server.
2) The "CD Control Panel" now contains a fully integrated volume
control. No more looking around someplace else when you
really want to crank it up for your favorite song! In
addition to the volume control, EasyCD2 has a small volume
indicator AND if you click on the volume indicator it's a
"Mute" button!
3) Improved tray icon functions. You can now use the tray icon
for selecting the next and previous tracks in addition to
being able to pause the CD. A single-click on the icon is
Pause, a double-click is Next Track and a triple-click is
Previous Track.
4) A new exit option. This option allows you to either stop
the CD player when you exit EasyCD2 or to leave the CD
playing.
5) Enhanced Introduction Play mode. The Introduction Play
mode now has unlimited offset and unlimited duration
settings.
6) The CD control panel has a new improved layout to include
the volume controls and also has new easier to see buttons.
Bug Fixes in Version 2.10:
1) The cddb server error: "Server handshake error #500" has
been fixed. This was caused by Windows95 user names or
computer names that had spaces in them, such as
"Greg H. Leichner" or "My Computer".
2) Various errors connecting to some SMTP servers have been
fixed. EasyCD2 is now compatible with the vast majority of
SMTP protocol implementations.
3) The problem when initially connecting to the CD player(s)
that resulted in the message "Unable to find audio cd on
any players in system." or the message "CD player has
already been opened by another application. Exit the other
application before running EasyCD." has been fixed.
4) The CD Information dialog now behaves better when typing in
the track titles. The 'Enter' key can now be used to complete
the current track entry, and it will the automatically go to
the next track. No more: type, type, type, grab mouse, click,
back to keyboard, type, type, type.
