Florian Heidenreich heeft versie 3.29 van Mp3tag uitgebracht. Met dit programma kunnen de metatags van de gangbaarste muziekformaten worden aangepast. Ondersteuning is aanwezig voor ID3v1, ID3v2.3, ID3v2.4, iTunes MP4, WMA, Vorbis Comments en APE-tags. Verder kunnen de bestandsnamen aan de hand van die tags worden aangepast en kunnen playlists worden gegenereerd. De releasenotes voor deze uitgave zien er als volgt uit:
Field mapping for Matroska MKV video filesThe Matroska file format features a complex metadata structure based on target types. These define different levels at which the same tag field can be applied. For example,
Scripting function to sort field contentsPART_NUMBER
can be the track number (level 30) and the disc number (level 50). To improve compatibility with other apps and to match semantics, I've improved the internal mappings for MKV video files with this release.When multiple values (e.g., genres, styles, or composers) are stored in a single tag field, sorting them can make similarities more visible — and simply bring some order.
Installer niceties
The new scripting function$sort(x,y)
sorts segments of a string based on a specified delimiter. It's for example possible to create an action that appends a certain value to existing content and have the combined values sorted automatically. It’s quite handy (though not for everyone).The installer of this new version now automatically attempts to close a running instance of Mp3tag before trying to update. Also, it has an option to run Mp3tag directly from the installer when installation is finished. As a nice extra, the uninstaller is now also code-signed.
BugfixesThis new version includes a surprising number of bug fixes and improvements, so I highly recommend updating — especially if something hasn’t been working as expected. If you're curious, the changelog has the complete list.
