Updates

MP3 Organizer's latest version has been released: 1.6.44. This latest version uses the same database, so all you need to download is the MP3 Organizer itself. There's no need to download again the database and upgrade it (as I explain in the previous newsletter) or download the whole setup file to install it. In case you didn't get this yet, there's no need to download all the setup package again, you can download the updates for each application from the Updates' section. I'll include some of the sections there was in the previous newletter for the new subscribers.

MP3 Organizer's update

Winamp 2 / Winamp 5

I've received several reports about not being able to play their MP3s through Winamp because MP3 Organizer hanged when tried to do it. The problem was due to the fact that "Winamp 2" and "Wianmp 3" are two very different players. MP3 Organizer is not compatible with "Winamp 3" you should have installed "Winamp 2" in your machine (you can have both versions installed on your system) if you want to be able to ask MP3 Organizer to interact with Winamp.

Since 1.6.42 MP3 Organizer, won't hang anymore when try to open Winamp if Winamp 3 is installed and Winamp 2 is missing. What's more, MP3 Organizer will tell the user about this issue, and will explain how to fix this.

Luckily for all of us, NullSoft did their work and solve this problem neatly. Read the next section to know what I mean.

NullSoft's last release

NullSoft has merged Winamp2 and Winamp5 to create Winamp 5. Winamp 5 is fully compatible with MP3 Organizer since it has all the features Winamp2 had. What it's more, it has the features Winamp3 had as well. In other words, all the features from both versions are available in the same player.

In a few words...

Winamp 2 + Winamp 3 = Winamp 5

Now, some of the most interesting sections of the previous newsletters:

Search By

MP3 Organizer's popupmenu has new options available. You can search for any of these fields using the selected song. For example, in the image, you're browsing all the songs in the 7 album. If you would like to see all U2's songs, all you have to do is to click on "Search By Artist", and MP3 Organizer will bring you all of their songs.

Find song

Since version 1.6.37, a new button has been added into MP3 Organizer's toolbar which will let you find the song that it's playing. Just click this button (), and MP3 Organizer will search for the song and show it in the ListView, so that you can do whatever you needed with this particular song.

Multiple CDs

Do you have several CDs with thousands of MP3s recorded in them? Do you find it hard to remember where is each specific song? Here's the solution. Add all your CDs in MP3 Organizer's database, and you can set the name of the CD -a description for you to know, what's written on the case or CD, anything that could tell you about which CD is- Whenever you want to listen to an MP3 (that you can search as any other file within MP3 Organizer), the soft will tell you to insert the CD labeled like you've specified (if it was not on the CD-Drive already). So, you don't need to remember which songs are recorded in each CD. Just search for the song by artist, title, genre, year, the search function -whatever- and double-click on it; MP3 Organizer will tell you where is that MP3 recorded.

Obviously, you need that the recorded MP3s have enough information on their tags (saved on the CD) to get full power out of MP3 Organizer. If they have not ... remember the next time you record a CD to add their tags first.

By CD's node

A new treeview node has been created. Its name is "By CD". This node will hold all the CDs you've saved in MP3 Organizer's database. You'll see each CDs (by the description you've typed when add it) under this node. With a click on any of the CDs you'll have all the MP3s on that CD listed on the ListView. You can also rename the CD, delete the MP3s of a CD from the database or list the MP3s in a file (See the Lists news right below this section). This options are available through the ListView's context menu.

Translator

Remember to check this application, Translator:

Translator's screenshot

(Click on the image to enlarge)

This application is pretty useful to get the user interface (UI) of MP3 Organizer translated, very easily. You'd be able to translate it to the language you want. More information at:

http://emilianomartin.com.ar/MP3Organizer/downloads.asp#Translator

http://emilianomartin.com.ar/MP3Organizer/Intro.asp#Translator

You don't need to translate all the file from scratch to get any of these languages updated to the last version. You can download the MOF file and the Translator -Be sure you have the latest Translator.MOF file- from the downloads page. Open your language MOF file with it, translate the new captions and save the file. Now, your file is updated to the latest version.

I'd be glad if you sent me any of this translations file to be added to the page If you don't want the credits or your contact being added... there would be no problem, but please, if you translate the User Interface, send me the file so that not-english speakers can use the application in their language.

If you have any question... ask it. Regards,

Emiliano
