Hi, SongKong 6.1 Elephant has just been released

This now includes support for finding artists images, these can be added to the music files themselves but also if you have your music organized by AlbumArtist/Album it can store the albumartist as a folder.jpg within each artist folder. In the context of MinimServer this means that if you browse by folder it can now pickup the folder images and display them instead of the default folder icon.

Screenshot below shows Kinsky control point being served by MinimServer

I am pleased to announce that SongKong is now available for the unRAID OS.

unRAID is software that can turn almost any 64-bit system into a NAS making it a cost effective NAS solution. unRAID can manage an array of drives of different size and type. Unlike mirrored RAID systems with an unRAID system additional drives can be added at a later date to unRAID without needing to rebalance the existing data.

Songkong 6.3 Psychocandy released, full details here

In this new release we have introduced a new section called Browse by Artist/Album. This group the songs by the album artist and album metadata and lets you browse the songs in this grouping. This shows all songs processed by Fix Songs, not only the songs that SongKong actually modified.

We show artist and album artwork if SongKong has it, and also add badges indicating how many songs exist for this metadata and how many change.

This new section of the report mirrors the kind of view you would expect to see in many music players and control points and should make it easier to manage your music.

The Song Changes section has now been renamed, and instead of showing a single tree it now uses tiles to let you browse by folder in a similar way to Browse by Artist/Album.

It now shows all songs processed, not only the modified songs. If a folder has a folder.jpg in the folder then this is displayed as the folder image.

Providing Browse by Artist/Album and Browse By Folder sections make it much easier to identify any discrepancies between file structure and metadata.

Also tiles rather than tree works better for mobile and small screen devices.
