mp3cd browser / News: Recent posts

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.... read more

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... read more

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.

I updated the homepage with screenshots of the new GUI.
Installation instructions, version history, ... are updated, too.

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

- Speed improvements

See release notes for more changes

Yes, that's right, a new release
better Ogg/Vorbis support
no improvements in the speed section yet :(

after a complete disaster with mp3 cd browser 2 I made 0.7, with some of the mp3cd2 features.
Hope to get the speed of ogg indexing up in the next version

15-04-2002 : Released 0.6.1 and 0.6.2 today!
0.6.1 replaces the internal player by external ones (winamp and xmms)
0.6.2 adds ID3V2 support again, as requested

Enjoy and find me some bugs :)

p.s. I'm looking for a GUI developer who is willing to help me to improve the GUI.
