MediaMonkey 2.3 Beta 5 (Build 834)

[rusty]

I'm happy to announce that we're now feature complete--the last feature is FLAC tagging and playback. If you're a FLAC user, we'd really appreciate your feedback. All that's left now are a few more bug fixes, online help and localizations, so this should be the last beta.

Before you rush into downloading it, remember that it's still pre-release software, that may contain as yet unknown bugs. The software is being provided for feedback and testing purposes, and is recommended for use by advanced users who regularly test pre-release software. If you plan on testing it, take precautions to backup your data to protect against data loss. Note also that minor differences in field lengths mean that your 2.3 database will not be readable by MediaMonkey 2.2.

If you do decide to try it out, we'd love to hear your feedback; the good and the bad.

What's new?

• - Added Flac playback plugin
  - Added Flac tagging plugin
  - Added check/workaround for Microsoft MDAC/Jet de-registration problem
  - Updated Dutch, French, Spanish localizations for 2.3 features, thanks to UI, Octopod and Pablo
  - Fixed minor issues in html tracklist report
  - Fixed Now Playing / Album Art refresh problem
  - Fixed auto-organize memory allocation error

Download
MediaMonkey 2.3 Beta 5: http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/MediaMonkey_2_3_834.exe

If you are experiencing a problem which a debug log would help resolve, you can subsequently install a debug build from: http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/MediaMo ... _3_834.exe

Installation
Double-click the downloaded file and follow the installation instructions. You can install:
a) To your MediaMonkey directory, replacing the current version of MediaMonkey.
b) To a new directory (e.g. /Program Files/MediaMonkey_alpha), preserving your existing MediaMonkey installation. Note that you'll have to use a different database for each version of MediaMonkey. You can do this by making a copy of your database and saving it to a new location (e.g. \MediaMonkey_old\MediaMonkey.mdb) and configuring your .ini file to point to whichever version of the database you're using (see section 4 b) ii) of the readme).

Localization
If you're interested in translating MediaMonkey to another language, there's still time to do so. See details in the localization forum: http://www.songs-db.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=8

Enjoy!
