New stable and unstable builds are available, but there isn't that much to say about them, especially about the stable one, 1.2.02.
1.2.02 simply got into the stable branch all the changes from 1.3.01, which are a few bug fixes that didn't affect most users, plus the acknowledgment that Discogs integration no longer works, so it got disabled.
Unstable version 1.3.03 has a few changes that may be more important:

Unstable version 1.3.03 has a few changes that may be more important:
- Some error messages during / after crashes should make more sense
- An additional cache is included in the hope of helping with speed (and maybe errors) when scanning external drives. As I don't have hardware that exhibits this issue, I don't know if it actually does any good. Perhaps reports from users will clear this up.
- VBR files whose Xing/LAME headers incorrectly include themselves in the frame count are now treated differently, and they don't get deleted by "Repair VBR data". The reason is that such headers don't usually cause problems, even if they are wrong, and may contain useful information (like gapless play details) which until now got discarded by "Repair VBR data".
Hi. Just got one question. If i do normalizing in your program does harm the sound quality somehow? Does it do any harm? I mean like every time you save jpg file it quality gets worse.
ReplyDeleteThe normalization is actually done by an external program. I just call it. If it works properly there should be no sound degradation. Personally I didn't find any issue with the default normalizer, "mp3gain".
DeleteHi! I used "Repair VBR data" on my library with the unstable release and on a few occasions, it deleted all tags.
ReplyDeleteAh no, the operation was "Remove broken streams", not "Repair VBR data". Result: it deleted all of the tags sometimes, and sometimes windows couldn't read the duration/bitrate anymore either. Good thing I always have backups.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to get some of the original files, if possible, but I realize it's probably too late.
DeleteThe comments / questions by mirmikh and Dr. Mario should have posted in the forums. I don't check this blog for comments, so it took way too long for me to see them. Now I enabled email notifications, but still the forums are the better place to ask questions and offer suggestions, while the bug reporting tool should be used for bugs.
