8.10 - April 17, 2008
- Audio: Attach: In the 'Attach Audio Files' window you can now
specify whether the program should attach audio files to all albums,
marked albums (the subset), or the selected albums in the Album
View. This is useful, for example, if you have an album on both CD
and LP, but only want to attach the audio files to the CD.
- Audio: Attach: There is a new 'Exclude folders already in
database' option. When this is checked, the program will simply skip
all folders that contain audio files already linked to the database.
This can greatly speed up the scan process.
- Audio: Auto-Organize: Instead of selecting whether to process
all albums/tracks, the subset, or the selection directly from the
menu, you now select this in the 'Audio-Organize Audio Files'
window.
- Audio: Auto-Organize: You can now use only the year part of a
date field by adding "_year" after the field name. For example
"%album.released_year%".
- Audio: Auto-Organize: If the album contains more than 9 discs,
two digits are now automatically used for the %disc#% field.
- Audio: Auto-Organize: The file date is no longer modified by
default. If you still want the program to set the file date when
renaming files, open the 'Audio File Options' window, click the Misc
tab and check the 'Modify file date when renaming file' box.
- Audio: Read from Tag: There is a new 'Compare dates' setting in
the (new) 'Read from Tag' window that will instruct the program to
compare the file date against the Tag Read field, and only read data
from the tag if the audio file has been modified since you last read
the tag. In addition, you now specify whether to update all, marked,
or selected albums/tracks in this window instead of from the menu.
- Audio: Write to Tag: There is a new 'Compare dates' setting in
the (new) 'Write to tag' window that will instruct the program to
compare the Last Modified field against the Tag Write field, and
only write data to the tag if you have edited the album/track since
you last updated the tag. In addition, you now specify whether to
process all, marked, or selected albums/tracks in this window
instead of from the menu.
- Audio: Added a Goto Folder command on the Audio menu in the main
window, the Album Edit window and the Track Edit window (you can
also use the Ctrl+F2 shortcut).
- Query Internet: Cover download: The image dimensions (width and
height in pixels) are now shown in the list of available covers.

sites (both Vinyl Query and cover download).
- Database: Added Genre and Sub-Genre fields to the Playlist
table.
- Database: Added two new fields to the Play History table: User

name and the name of the computer the track is played from are now
stored in the Play History table.
- Database: You can now search, filter and group on the Play
History (play date), Play History - User and Play History - Computer
fields.
- Data Entry: Set Field Value: You can now specify whether to
process all, marked or selected records from the 'Set Field Value'
window.
- Data Entry: Set Track Index window: Increased the width of the
Index column.
- Images: You can now tell the program to use the artist sort name
when generating image filenames (for example "Cure, The" instead of
"The Cure"). In the 'Options' window, open the Multimedia group,
then check the 'Images/Filename - artist sort name' box.
- Explorer: Set personal rating/genre: The currently 'active'
rating/genre is now highlighted on the popup menu.
- Explorer: Audio Player: Some minor modifications: The songwriter
roles are displayed and all names are shown in bold text.
- Explorer: Original by field is now displayed in the preview

- Browse list: For date fields that also include the time (Last

column property if you do not want to show the time (only the actual
date).
- Report: Added a new album overview report sorted by release
year.
- Report: Added a new statistics report ('Spending per year').
This report will give you an overview of the total price, the
average price and the number of albums acquired per year.
