We are pleased to announce SongKong 10.3 Blur is released 4th of March 2024
This major release has the following new features:
Auto Edit
Manual editing is useful for making changes to one album, but what about if we need to make an edit to many albums, then for this we have the new powerful Auto Edit tool.
This actually comprises three tools Capitalizer , Find and Replace and Trim , and any or all of these tools can be applied to multiple fields in one go. See here for full details.
Inline Help in Desktop Mode
In Desktop mode we used to use tooltips, bu this meant only one tip could be displayed at a time. We can now hide or show help for all fields using Show Help/Hide Help buttons like we can for Web mode and this makes the help more readily available
e.g
Without Help
With Help
Can now specify MusicBrainz or Discogs release to match to when using Match To One Album
If a MusicBrainz or Discogs Url is entered in the new field then album is matched to this instead of SongKong doing its own search for potential matches
Maximum Album Artists Allowed
We have added this new option.
Sometimes an album can have alot of album artists, this is particularly the case for some Classical albums. The most important album artists are listed first and it can be neater and less distracting to limit the number of albums artists we add for an album to only the first x artists.
