Metatogger 7.0.2 release

Metatogger version 7.0.2 was released today. The main new feature of this minor version is the use of the Windows 10 audio playback engine, which is more stable and reliable than the one used until now. The drawback is that users who have not yet migrated to Windows 10 will no longer be able to use this feature. I remind you that the support of Windows 7 by Microsoft ended on January 14, 2020.

Metatogger 7.0.1 release

Version 7.0.1 of Metatogger was released today. The main new feature of this minor version is the tool for removing unwanted tags, whose interface has been completely redesigned. From now on, you just have to click on the tags to delete, without having to type them. The scope of the cleanup becomes much more predictable.

Metatogger 7.0 release

Version 7.0 of Metatogger was released today. The new features of this major version are mainly technical, linked to the use of the .NET 5.0 framework, now embedded in the software itself (it is no longer necessary to install it beforehand on the machine). Metatogger is now a 64 bits software, which should considerably limit memory problems. Gains in performance and reliability are also expected.

Metatogger 6.0.10 release

In this version, hidden items in the workspace because filtered are not affected by the tag manipulation tools. It is possible to modify this behavior by setting to false the ProtectFilteredItems parameter in the advanced settings file.

As expected, the lyrics search doesn't work anymore. With no viable alternative, I was forced to remove this feature.

Closing of the LyricWiki lyrics site

The LyricWiki site announces its closure for September 21, 2020. After this date, the retrieval of song lyrics in Metatogger might not work anymore. Unfortunately, I don't know any alternative sites offering a similar service (free access to lyrics with an API). Probably the end of an era... 😔
