MediaMonkey 3.0.x Testing

[rusty]

Beta 2 had a nasty regression that caused instability in some cases, so we decided to quickly release beta 3. It also resolves a major playback problem that occurs with the latest quicktime version (side note: there's also a new version of the AAC encoder available for testing--see the AAC Encoder announcement):

We only have a couple more things planned before we create an RC, so please let us know what you think. Thx.

What's new?

4491 Fixed Ignore Prefix doesn't work for Genre subnodes
4490 Fixed Album Art View is unstable with some 3rd party scripts
4495 Fixed some MP3 tracks report incorrect track length
4487 Fixed AAC tracks (*.m4a etc.) can't play after updating to B2 + new Quicktime
4420 Fixed Data DVD Burning: Verification is slow in some cases + cannot be terminated
4429 Fixed Audio CD burning: Total time is still wrong in some cases
4489 Fixed Closing from tray icon doesn't save docked Now Playing window state (regression)
4488 Fixed Selected track's Album Art flickers during scan (regression)
4493 Fixed Podcast node should be populated
4484 Improved terminology/icons in Podcast > Add Directory function
