We're happy to announce 3.0.3 Beta 1. It fixes the most critical iPhone / iPod touch issues reported during the alpha, along with a couple of other issues / regressions reported.
Just a reminder re. the iPhone / iPod touch support: it is designed to work with any iPhone or iPod Touch -- no need for any hacks.
Let us know what you think. Thx.

It's been awhile, but we're happy to announce 3.0.3 Beta 2. It fixes a variety of issues that have been reported over the past month, and includes a variety of performance, usability, and functional improvements.
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?
4416 Added Drag & Drop of Album Art to Album Art View
4438 Improved performance for numerous queries
4413 Fixed Date field resets to 0 in some cases where only Month and Year are used
4458 Fixed 'Track#' and 'Disc#' input in the format x/y fails
4408 Fixed Album Art isn't added when tracks in a folder are from > 1 album

4406 Fixed numerous usability issues with the new masks configuration UI
4451 Fixed Auto-organize doesn't work well for tracks where masked property ends in a space
4415 Added new masks:
-- $RemovePrefix(string) - Removes starting 'The', i.e. 'The Beatles' -> 'Beatles'
-- $MovePrefix(string) - Moves starting 'The' to the end of string,
i.e. 'The Beatles' -> 'Beatles, The'
-- $Group(string,integer) - Groups the first letter of the first parameter to groups of
letters given by the second (optional) paremeter. Works just like <Artist@1>.
-- $Replace(string,what,by) - Replaces all occurences of 'what' by 'by' in 'string'.
-- $If(<Year><1990,...) - $If() function now accepts also <,<=,>,>= and <> operators.
e.g. $If(<Year><1990,80's,$If(<Year><2000,90's,2000's)) returns 80's for year 1984.
-- $Assign(variable,value) and $Use(variable) - Variables that can be used several times
in mask, e.g. '$Assign(V,A)$Use(V)$Use(V)' produces string 'AA'.
-- $First(string,count,start from) - There was added parameter 'start from' (optional), which
specifies to skip a number of items in multi-value string. E.g. $First(a;b;c,1,1) returns 'b'.
-- $Len(string) - returning the length of string, useful for $If() function.
