Version History
Version 1.0d48: Not Released Yet
- oh i'm procrastinating fixing the bugs on Instant Sorting
- but i DID get configurable columns working. You can now add/remove columns as you see fit by Right Clicking (control clicking) on the sort columns header. Some don't work. Not yet able to make "custom" columns
- switchable albums causes an assert and maybe a crash? fixed.
- huh? i stick in a CD and see no tracks?!? fixed.
- context menu is gone. fixed
- saving meta data on a CD doesn't save?? no, it does save, but it's in the new meta format, forgot to make the reader deal with it. fixed
- added Year, Genre, Tempo, Size and Comment columns support. not fully tested.
- things specified as right justified now are actually shown as right justified (eg: "#")
- no longer asserting when mounting a bin/cue pair
- a CD is now default sorted by track
- new playlists (including new singers, CDs) now get default widths correctly set for the columns
- default library no longer has PLI index column (i'm so glad to be rid of that)
- when burning a disc, it will *always* burn in User Sort order. Optionally: if you happen to be sorted by something else when you click burn, eg: by Name (cuz you want to burn the disc with the tracks in Alphabetical Order) then the User Sort order for that playlist will first be renumbered to match your current sort order.
- fixed a bad bug when burning a disc, would save the Meta info for the about-to-be-burnt CD in a bad state, or not at all. I now write it correctly. It would also be read wrong, so now I can almost always completely recover from the bad state. If I can't recover completely, you'll be warned next time you load that CD.
- the dreaded "error replicating song name" now tells which song it was.
- Fixed an ASSERT(0) when saving
- iPod, AppleTV and iPhone exports now use the Official Apple Exporters!!! YAAAAY!!! No more hacked MPEG 4 baloney that did not always work!! Please set your export prefs again, thanks.
- the 3GPP exporter is now enabled! Go crazy you karaoke-on-my-phone freaks! (note: i am member of your group)
- secret developer command-shift-1..9 will sort by that column number. note 3 and 4 don't work cuz they do screen shots. this will be removed in the future.
- d47r1 August 5 2007 Lite Pro
- when you set meta info on a song, the sort columns would NOT re-sort themselves!! EEKS! fixed.
- fixed several crashes related to quitting while stuff is still going on
- when adding to library your folder of thousands of songs, you no longer get an ASSERT() about every corrupted zip file
- When reporting that a QT encode failed, the curly quotes now look correct
- woops you can delete playlist items again, sorry about that
- when you run kJams, the KJ rotation is rebuilt from the database, rather than relying on the "saved" data. please tell me if this ever screws you up
- pressing play on a playlist when there is nothing playing and nothing selected BUT the playlist still remembers it's current song, now will play that current song, NOT the song after that.
Bugs I'm aware of that will be fixed
- disc ID generated by burner does not match actual disc. and dammit it doesn't match the bin/cue file either. #%$&*! (symptom is your meta info disappears on discs you burned, when i fix it your info should re-appear)
- export QT crashes?? could not reproduce
- scanning for orphans crashes on purpose by accident
- rotation does not always remove last song from a singer's Tonight list
- there are several other bugs too, i know you're crashing, believe me i know. I'm fixing them this week!!
What My Plan Is
- instant sorting
- fully customizable columns
- ability to zip all songs in library that are not already zipped.
- re-canonicalize the names (up folders) "Keep Library Folder Organized"
- option to copy or reference files when "Add to Library…"
- option to consolidate or move library
- list of search folder aliases (necessary for new file object primitive)
- ubiquitous use of xattr info for *all* song data (this in prep for finally getting rid of the song database, and using the files directly)
- Ability to rip, play & burn VCDs, SVCDs, SuperCDG, MCG
- iTunes integration (browse & play with pitch & tempo)
- done!
AppleScriptability for QuickTime (iPod) Export - done!
Ability to play ALL quicktime types, even those that "can't be moved / extracted on a background thread" - done!
ability to burn (pitch bent) audio portion of non-CDG songs (aif, mov, midi, mpeg, kar etc) - (Wow then we can go Alpha!!)
Pokers In the Fire
- "smooth as glass" quicktime playback, using QTKit (this will enable full 30fps playback even with both video windows open and set to maximumm size)
- ability to QT Export any file type (midi, kar, mpeg)
- auto update the Map whenever someone makes a purchase (parse purchase info, geocode for lat/lon, add to address book, update map data, upload map data). Update: I have written a nice applescript that can parse my email and extract a new address book entry, including geocoded lat/lon info. Neat!
- FINALLY done! Wow this saves me like an hour each time i make a new release!
auto-publish when I build a new version and invoke a script (export new vers.html file, zip lite and pro, upload lite and pro, upload vers file). Update: I now have all the parts I need for the workflow, just have to sew it all together now - full CDPedia support
- 80% done: ability to cue two songs for cross fade (same as: ability to export QuickTime (or iPod) at the same time as playing some other song)
- Allow a 'placeholder' track to be input into a singer's "Tonight" list, that includes the disc name and track number, and when it comes up, the dialog comes up, says "stick in the disc", to let it play direct from disc, automatically picking the right track. Alternately, allow KJ to drag a track from a CD into a playlist. then, eject disc. when that song is coming up next, put up a dialog that says "please stick that disc back in" and it'll go play it from disc, Alternately, rip the song when it gets drug from the CD into the singer's "Tonight"
