• Windows Burning:
  • can now correctly erase and burn a CD-RW disc
  • more reliable in general
  • strings can now be localized (and will be very soon)
  • eject / inject button now works as expected
• Windows:
  • in the Import and Export prefs panels, you can now actually change the encoder and have it stick
  • threads are now prioritized. you should now see better general performance
  • works fine even when LAME is not installed, however to USE lame you really do need to install it now
  • lame can be in any of 3 places
• KaraokeCloud:
  • When in OFFLINE mode, the message in the prefs is RED
  • if you try to purchase a song while offline, you get told that you're offline
• if you try to burn a CD that has two songs on it that have the same meta data, you are told you can't do that. used to just crash. previously we only checked if there were two identical songs, now we check each song's meta data
• fixed a crasher that could happen if a sort-cache got out of date while you were deleting songs from the Library
• updated Romanian localization
• you can now embiggen the "# Sung" sort column
• server bug is nearly quashed, still hunting the last remnants
• Mac: in the "Get Info" dialog for a song, shift-tab will now move the focus back just ONE field instead of two
• when purchasing a song, if the request times out, you get told how to deal with it
• FEATURE: quoted searching

Lite Mac, Pro Mac, Lite Win, Pro Win

• Windows:
  • fixed another hang when playing songs (quicktime is not thread safe grrrr)
  • discs with 10 or fewer tracks could show up with totally bizarre track durations and would not rip. fixed
  • some zip files that can't be opened would be reported as missing, instead of corrupted. fixed.
• Mac:
  • the Server continues to work even when you've clicked in the menu bar, or dragging something in the browser, or scrubbing the playhead
  • fixed assert fail when encoding quicktime
  • if there is a dialog up when kjams is asked to quit, the dialog is canceled so it can quit
• Karaoke Cloud
  • it was impossible to go from "Free" to "KJ Tether" tier, wow, nobody said anything? fixed.
• Karaoke Locker
  • certain tracks (that had no "album" meta data in the tags) would cause kjams to crash (windows) or behave strangely (mac). fixed
• the version number of kJams (when you go "About kJams") now shows the "short" name (no longer showing the "r" designation)
• there's a new text pref for "volume change percent" (invoked by command-up / down)
• purging the cache now works EVEN MORE reliably

  • QuickTime export works more reliably now
  • the Log file for the QuickTime server (QTServer) now correctly lives in the logs folder with the kJams logs
  • you can play MPEG (MPG) files again
  • No longer hangs when playing audio that must be decoded by QuickTime (which is just about all audio)
• Karaoke Cloud
  • If you purchase a song who's name has a dot in it (a period: "."), kJams would barf on it. fixed! you can just re-sync to get them now
• Advanced->Special->Scan All File Sizes…
  • now can be turned off (it has a check now if it's on)
  • does not apply to Music Store playlists (since they don't have a size)
• Export with Transparency *could* be turned on by running pro, then left on when Lite runs. this has been fixed.
