Re: EphPod v2.74 beta

I just installed this directly over my existing 2.70 Ephod install and when
I try to start it up I receive App failed to start cos cmp4v2.dll could not
be found.
I'll uninstall and install it properly now then.

Changes since 2.70:

2.74: +Added cool mp4v2 tag library thanks to Dave Mackie and Alix
Marchandise-Franquet and Poikosoft.
       Please email me at [email protected] for the source code to this great
library and Jukka's dll project
       for it.
      +Added support for spaces at the beginning of id3 tags
      +Added "no duplicate songs in a single playlist" check
      +Added "Create Singles" option and corresponding "create singles
on sync" checkbox option
       This takes all songs that are in albums with N or fewer songs
under the Album, and files
       them all under a single album name of "Singles"
      +Added "Album View" to left side.  Unclear as to why this was so
requested, but there it is.
      +Added "Write DB Info to ID3 Tags" routine that will refresh your
MP3s' ID3 tags from the iTunesDB Info
      +Added 5 InitCap features to do nice reformatting (i.e. ROCK ->
Rock and THEY might bE GiAnTs -> They Might Be Giants)
      +Allow for putting syncdirs.dat anywhere (stored in registry)
      +Added "Randomize Playlist Entries" option
      +Added option to delete songs from device when removing
individually from a playlist
      +Added option to "Add EphPod to iPod Manager" so EphPod comes up
when you connect your iPod.
      +When copying songs from iPod to local drive, no more making the
.1 files if the file already exists
       it just won't copy if the file already exists.
      +Added %M for "Composer" in the naming convention blocks.
      -Fixed bug in "always ask for drive" code that now will actually
always ask for a drive
      -FINALLY fixed the "Artist gets overwritten in Unicode by previous
Unicode artist name" bug

2.73: +Added new sorting routines for Playlists (Filename,
Track+Filename, File Date)
      -MP4 double-sync floating point bug disappeared...?
      -Fixed WAV files bug (now they get sent over again)
      -Fixed loss of playlists bug

2.72: +Added .mp4 extension support
      -Fixed "losing bookmarks with audible files" bug
      -Fixed bug with appending .mp3 again (only applied in obscure
circumstances before)


2.71: +Added support for "Adding Songs" tag info in the directory structure
      +Added option to turn on/off id3v1 tag reading, so now you can
force everything into
       reading tag info from directory structure, which may be faster
      +New Reading Routines
      +"Send Playlist(s) to Top" option added
      +No longer trimming spaces from either side of id3v2 tags
      +Now reading "time header" for mp4 files -- should be the correct time
      -Fixed bug in id3v2 tag reading that limited track numbers to 255
or less
      -Now Trimming right spaces on copy to folder
      -File size sorting fixed to do it by size and not by character
      -Fixed "copy to folder" bug that appended .mp3 to everything

If no major errors are reported in the next 24-48 hours, I'll post on
the website.

Next 5 things I want to do:

1) New Directory Structure on iPod (this is a brilliant idea, and needs
to happen)
2) SoundCheck
3) Use LAME to Encode Ogg and downsample larger MP3s and auto-convert WAVs
4) Use drop-down lists for Artists, Genres
5) Better compatibility with song ratings and smart playlists


I will try to release at least one more version before Christmas.  I
also plan to (a) switch listservers over to non-spam-place, and (b)
update website to be more relevant and easy to navigate.

Of course, even the best laid plans...
