Florian Heidenreich heeft versie 3.33 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:
Adjust Covers to Square, Crop to Square, and new resizing optionsThis new version comes with various improvements and new functions for adjusting cover art. Next to proportional scaling, it's now possible to scale to square, and even crop to square when adjusting album covers. Resizing can now be skipped entirely, allowing image-format changes while keeping the original cover size. Resizing used a maximum size setting before, where the image was only resized if its dimensions exceeded a certain threshold. Now, with the minimum size setting, a fixed target size can be configured.
Mitigation for issue introduced by recent Windows UpdateI also had a lot of fun with a recent Windows Update, which broke some basic functionality (extending a file in size) if the file was synced via OneDrive or another cloud-storage provider like Dropbox. This was mainly noticeable when adding cover art, because those modifications usually use up all reserved padding in the files and, well, extend the file size. So if you noticed any flakiness in adding cover art, it's thanks to a recent Windows Update that dropped in January.
Versioning Scheme ChangesI've also changed the versioning scheme I'm using for Mp3tag. While this version doesn't look different from the ones before, the new scheme now allows for bugfix releases independent from beta versions. I changed this in the hope of being more flexible in reacting to issues like the one mentioned above. Let's see how long it takes for a version v3.33.1 to be released.
Bugfixes and Internal ChangesAs usual, this new version also includes bug fixes and many other improvements, including changes to ID3v2 writing, where unmodified fields now preserve the original ID3v2 frames stored in the file. If you're curious, the changelog has the complete list.
