Project News for mp3cd browser

  • New version out

    Hi,

    I just released version 1.9.3. It features some minor enhancements:
    - a splitpane divider between tree view and info panel
    - a confirm dialog if you have uncommited changes and you are switching to a different track
    - performance for hsqldb-backend enhanced:
    Performance was IMO good before with the exception of one special case. If you were trying to browse to the tracks of an album with an empty name (i.e. all tracks where the album was left blank) this took incredibly long. The good news: performance for this case was increased by 100%
    The bad news: it is still to slow :-( In my case it took 8 seconds before and is now down to 4 seconds. I'm still looking to increase the performance further.

    Bug fixes:
    - search for special characters (', _, %) should work now

    For the technical interested: the performance enhancement was achieved by using hsqldb MEMORY tables instead of CACHED tables. This means that the complete db is now in main memory and is only stored to disk on shutdown.

  • Version 1.9.2 released

    Changes are:

    - Ogg/Vorbis support, again.
    - Display warnings (i.e. no id3-Tag) / errors after insert
    - Info Panel reworked. Looks much nicer now IMHO
    - Genre editable in Info Panel. Winamp Genres are predefined, you may use own genre names, too.
    - "View" menu with a "change L&F" option
    You can use the great Kunststoff L&F, too. Copy the kunststoff.jar to the same directory as
    mp3cdbrowser.jar and it should be recognized.
    - implemented a version check so that people trying to install/run with a JRE < 1.4 will get an error dialog
    - MySQL Connector/J updated to 3.0.8

    Bug Fixes
    ---------
    - fixed NPE when overwriting an existing CD, if CDs-Root wasn't expanded previously

    Have Fun!

  • Source available in CVS

    Hi,
    I finally solved my problems with CVS and imported the sources of the current working version to SF cvs server.
    You can find them under the "v2" directory.
    I hope that I didn't forgot a file.

  • Homepage update; download fix

    I updated the homepage with screenshots of the new GUI.
    Installation instructions, version history, ... are updated, too.
    http://mp3cdbrowser.sourceforge.net/mp3cd/index.html

    Additionally I corrected the filetype in the download area, so all browsers should now be able to recognize it as a JAR file.
