13th of July 2007 Jaikoz v1.10 Build 1030 released
This is a major release that has a number of improvements related to MusicBrainz and iTunes
New Features
- Added the Detail Pane, this shows details of the currently selected MP3 in a series of tabs. As you select different MP3s the Detail Panel gets updated automatically, you can edit values in the Detail Panel and the changes will take effect immediately in the Edit Panel and vice versa. This provides a powerful alternative to the Edit Panel for making modifications and enables quick access to fields that may not be displayed in the Edit Panel by default. Unlike the Edit Panel the fields in the Detail Panel do not map directly to a single ID3 field, it has been designed to provide the information in an easy to understand format, so for example there are separate fields for all the MusicBrainz fields whereas within ID3 many of these are stored within the User Defined Text field. The tabs are similar to the tabs from the GetInfo option within iTunes, but with additional information from MusicBrainz displayed. The Following tabs have been added: summary,info,musicbrainz,sorting,lyrics and artwork.
- When tagging from MusicBrainz the following additional fields are now populated:Album Artist, Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist, Is Compilation, MusicBrainz Disc Id, MusicBrainz Release Artist Id and Release Country.
- The Is Compilation field is populated if the MusicBrainz Release Type is Compilation.
- Added support for Lyrics.
- Added support for reading iTunes and MusicBrainz Sort Fields, and for writing sort iTunes sort fields when a standard sort field is not available.
- Added support for using 'Album Artist','Sort Artist' and 'Sort Album Artist' to 'Rename Folder from Tags' and 'Rename File from Tags'.
- Added 'Revert To Saved' that reverts any changes to an MP3 back to the values on disk.
- Added simple 'Undo' that reverts any changes to the selected fields back to the values on disk.
Enhancements
- Renamed some fields to their more popular name such as 'Band/Orchestra/Accompaniment' to 'Album Artist' and 'Content Group' to 'Grouping'.
- Modified 'True/False' fields to display as tick boxes.
- Disabled use of the Punctuation Remover in the Local Correcters by default.
