SongKong 6.8 Rumours Released

This release is mainly a bug fix release, includes a number of fixes to do with Artist Images. One quite obscure but important bug fix wss that SongKong allowed images greater than 16MB to be added to Flac files, but Flac does not support images greater than 16MB. We also had problems with redownloading images more than once, and conversely not downloading images when they should have been downloaded.

We also have some fixes for Docker images to prevent memory and file descriptor errors

The Song Details report page used to have an Old Value and New Value column for all fields, but this is only necessary when a field has been modified, not if it remains unchanged, or is added or deleted so we have simplified these pages

For Melco machines we now hide the expansion drive mount points unless an extra drive has actually been attached.

RE: SongKong
SongKong 6.9 Mercury Released

For MinimServer Classical Music users we have two new options designed for Melco EX users that use the SongKong Classical profile that comes with MinimServer for Melco EX.

Add Composer to start of Overall Work, this is used by MinimServer for indexing Classical Works

When using MinimServer uPNP server to play your classical music with the SongKong Classical profile enabling this option will show the composer as part of the work name in the Work index. This can be very useful for distinguishing between completely different works with very similar names written by different composers.

Add Composer to start of MinimServer Group, this is used by MinimServer for playing Classical Works
When you play a Classical work with MinimServer uPNP server enabling this option will show the composer when you play the group corresponding to the work. This can be very usual for distinguishing between completely different works with very similar names written by different composers. Because MinimServer only allows groups for work containing multiple contiguous movements enabling this option also includes adding the composer to title if the work has no movements.

Both these options can be used for any installation of MinimServer and are available on all SongKong platforms.

We have other fixes and improvements that are detailed in the link at the top.

RE: SongKong
We are please to announce SongKong 7.0 Magdalene https://community.jthink.net/t/songkong-...-2021/9726

This major release contains alot of improvements. including a key change for MinimServer users using Wav/Aif or Mp3 files.

SongKong used to write Producer, Engineer, Mixer and DjMixer to the TIPL frame (ID3v24) or IPLS frame (ID3v23). This is part of the ID3 tagging standard but unfortunately MinimServer cannot read these two frames so the values were not available to MinimServer users. In this new release we now write to TXXX:PRODUCER,TXXX:ENGINEER,TXXX:MIXER and TXXX:DJMIXER and also provide new sort fields TXXX:PRODUCER_SORT,TXXX:ENGINEER_SORT, TXXX:MIXER_SORT and TXXX:DJMIXER_SORT so the data is available to MinimServer and is also better aligned with what we do for Flac. (We have also added a new option to allow the data to continue to be written to IPLS/TIPL as well - Save:Add technical roles with own field to InvolvedPeople field)

And musicians with their roles are now written to the PERFORMER field as they already were with Flac format.

RE: SongKong
We have some major features in SongKong 8.0 Bandwagonesque

This is a major release that now supports Acoustid Albums, Discogs Performer credits and improved filters in the Browse By section of the report

The new Acoustid Albums feature is particularly good for matching bootleg live albums and self published albums not currently identified. The addition of Discogs Performer leads to a substantial increase in the number of performer credits that SongKong can add.
