In this release we have been focusing on some older issues that never quite made it to the top of priority list, in total we have 34 improvements and fixes.
Artwork Improvements
We have added some new options to allow Artwork to be converted to a different image format with the Preferred Artwork Format , and to be reduced in file size with the Maximum Artwork File Size option
We have also added more information about Artwork to the report so now you can see the image format, description and file size
We have also rewritten the image processing code so it is now more streamlined and quicker.
Improvements to ID3 Tag Format Support
Apple Music
Historically for formats that use ID3 for tagging such as Mp3, Aif and Dsf the ID3 format TIT1 field can be used both for genre style groupings and also for Classical Works. But Apple iTunes & Apple Music expects now Grouping to be written to a different field GRP1 instead of the standard TIT1 field. The new For ID3 formats like Mp3 write Grouping to iTunes/Apple Music GRP1 Field option toggles between saving the SongKong Grouping to the the standard TIT1 field or the Apple GRP1 field
ID3 Version Selection
Before this release the ID3 version could only be set for Mp3 files, now it can be set for all formats that support ID3 such as Dsf, Wav and Aif
Minimum Free Disk Space
SongKong now actively monitors disk space and if disk space in any of the disks being used by SongKong falls below the value of Minimum Free Disk Space the task will be cancelled.
