The Αἶνος Version

This page is in in REVERSE chronological order (latest at TOP)

Please follow me on the twitters!
Get Notified when this page changes!

Windows:
- kJams is now prepped for new installer that includes the MSVC Runtimes
- the "Stop" signs in the Activity window now track when you click them
Auto-Cue works even when muting is turned on
When you have [Automatically un-mark singers “Not Here”] turned on, and you're showing the "KJ Rotation", the rotation no longer re-starts at the top when the singer is auto-sent home
when you use "Get Info" to change meta data on multiple songs, now ONLY the fields that have a check mark next to them will update. was accidentally changing other fields
copy-pasting all data works again (would just beep at you)
sorry, but "Scan for orphans" has been disabled.
Controls->Suppress Channel Vocals is now only enabled when a song is playing, cuz that's the only time it works.
more tweaks to nail that server bug
there was the possibility of a crash in the Get Info dialog, it is now an assert instead
if you run then quit real fast, less likely you'll crash
when you burn a disc you should no longer get the "You can't burn the same song twice on a single disc" message
if you were dragging a song at the moment the current song ended, you don't crash, but you're holding up the ability for the next song to play, so let go!
name playlist by imported folder name is gone, didn't have time to hook it up

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
- in Activity window, the task's stop sign no longer has a gray background
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fixed a crasher that could happen if a sort-cache got out of date while you were deleting songs from the Library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

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

Windows
- fixed ripping and burning
- 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.
