Update: beaTunes 5.2.19

This maintenance update features some overall improvements and fixes a couple of issues. A lot of fine-tuning has gone into the Get Info panel, to provide better performance and lower memory requirements—especially when opening it for multiple tracks. Fixes include re-adding the missing JavaScript engine ("Nashorn") to support beaTlets written in JavaScript. Due to changes on the Bandcamp website, our tag scraper had to be updated. Some minor changes also happend in the Commit All Solutions menu item, which was enabled erroneously, when it shouldn't have been.

As always, you can download the new version from the download section of the website.

Changes in 5.2.19

  • Fixed update of player indicator in Beatport charts.
  • Fixed enabled status of commit solutions menu item while committing.
  • Added missing Nashorn scripting engine.
  • Updated Bandcamp tag extraction.
  • Reduced memory consumption of Get Info dialog.

Bandcamp Tags Plugin Update

Small update to the Bandcamp tags plugin: Version 1.0.1 improves the ability to find Bandcamp identifiers, even on the track and album level. The new version requires beaTunes 5.1.5 or later. Some functionality will only become available when beaTunes 5.1.6 is released.

New Plugin: Import Artist Tags from Bandcamp

Do you like independent artists? A lot? Perhaps you're using Bandcamp. If that's the case, you're in luck! beaTunes 5.1.4 introduces limited support in the form of an Open in... context menu item and artist-level tag import. The latter is implemented via a new plugin (sources), which is available via the Preferences -> Plugins -> Available pane. Once installed, you need to restart beaTunes. In the next analysis run you'll see an additional task.

Note that the correct association between a track and Bandcamp relies on the original comment contained in your files.

As always, you can download the new version from the download section of the website.

Changes in 5.1.4

  • Increased granularity of locking during inspection.
  • Added transparent persistency to tags collection.
  • Added limited support for bandcamp tags.
