Red Chair Software heeft sinds kort versie 8.7.4 ter download staan van Anapod Explorer. Dit programma is een van de betere alternatieven voor het beheren van de muziekcollectie op de iPod. Het programma integreert zich naadloos in Windows en heeft een indrukwekkende lijst met mogelijkheden. Zo ondersteunt het streaming om je muziek rechtstreeks van de iPod af te spelen, zijn er uitgebreide mogelijkheden om je playlists aan te passen en heeft het een ingebouwde webserver zodat de iPod vanuit een webbrowser kan worden aangesproken. Daarnaast heeft het een embedded SQL database engine, die uitgebreide zoekmogelijkheden biedt en reporten in tekst, HTML of XML kan genereren. De lijst met veranderingen sinds de laatste vermelding in de meuktracker ziet er als volgt uit:
Release 8.7.4:
New Features:Enhancements and Bug Fixes:
- Improved iPod shuffle Support
In this release, the iPod shuffle gets its own separate icon, enabling easier management of iPods and iPod shuffles. Also new is the ability to manually reorder the tracks on your iPod shuffle.
- Fixed a problem where regular iPods could sometimes be mis-detected as iPod shuffles.
- Fixed misreporting of free space in Anapod Tunes2Go.
- Removed erroneous message about deleting files when transferring in Tunes2Go.
- In previous releases, files with no tag information would not transfer due to "skipped because file exists" error. In this release, tag-less files can now be properly loaded onto the shuffle.
- Fixed bug where transfer errors due to inability to read source file was being misreported as memory full error.
Release 8.7.3:
New Features:Bug Fixes:
- Manual iPod Identification
This new feature allows Anapod to recognize iPods that have not been fully initialized yet, either because they are new or have just been reformatted. Anapod will identify devices that are likely to be iPods, and allow the user to identify the iPod so that it can be initialized for music transfer. This feature should be helpful to new users in particular.- Improved Tag Reading
This release improves ID3 tag reading for files that have a ID3V1 tag but no ID3V2 tag.- Improved iPod Connect/Disconnect Speed
iPod detection and connection should be even faster in this release, and a small disconnect bottleneck in the previous release should now be resolved.
- Fixed a bug in the previous release where some users with brand-new or recently formatted iPods might get an 0x11 error when disconnecting and saving changes to the iPod. This was due to some changes we made to add iPod Shuffle support, but it should now be fixed.
