What's New in Music Collector 9?

Catalog and Tag music files (MP3, WMA, FLAC, APE, OGG, etc..)

• New "Add / Link Music Files" screen, that lets you:
  • Choose then Scan a Folder with Music Files
  • Add selected Music Files as a new Album in your database, automatically using meta-tag data (including ID3v2 cover images).
  • or: Link selected Music Files to an existing album in your database
• New "Update File Tags" command to update meta-tags (e.g. ID3) in batch, using data and images from your Music Collector database
• Edit Album / Tracks tab:
  • Drag & Drop music files on tracks to link as Music File
  • Drag & Drop playlist files to link all files to tracks automatically
• New Play commands in menu, on toolbar and in Details View (template), for playing tracks and albums.
• Supported audio formats: MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis, APE, Flac and WAV.
• Supported tag formats: ID3v1, ID3v2, Vorbis, WMA and APE

Improved Add Albums Automatically screen:

• Search Results from Collectorz.com and Amazon are now presented in one optimized list, nicely ordered by relevancy and quality.
• Results are automatically merged where possible, e.g. enriching a Collectorz.com result with an Amazon cover, or adding Collectorz.com track lengths to Amazon results.
• The new screen makes it much easier and quicker to add albums, and thus replaces both the Wizard and Advanced Mode screen: Just search, select the best result from the list (usually at the top), then click Add.
• Hide / Show Search Queue button to switch between "Search Now" and "Add to Queue" mode.
• Select and add multiple results from one search result. (e.g.: search for "Metallica", select 5 CDs and click Add to "Add 'Em All").
• Edit searches in Queue with new Edit Search Criteria screen (right-click menu). This replaces the confusing Update in Queue system.
• New "Add Anyway" button to add an album anyway when no results are found, automatically using the Barcode or Artist, Title you already entered.
• New multi-column Search Results panel, with separate Artist, Title, #Tracks and Cover Yes/No columns.
• Search by barcode or TOC: after searching, the top (and best) search result is now automatically selected, checked and shown in the Preview Panel, so you only have to hit Add Checked to add the album to your database.
• Queue Mode: You can now double-click a queue entry to "Search Selected"
• Search Queue can now be sorted by clicking the column headers

Improved Collectorz.com source:

• Now searches Amazon automatically, server-side, adding matching Amazon entries to the search results, ordering the full list by relevancy and quality.
• Search by CDID: Collectorz.com result will automatically be "enriched" with cover image and data from matching Amazon result. Amazon results will automatically be completed with track lengths from Collectorz.com entry.
• Search by Barcode: results from Collectorz.com and Amazon will automatically be merged into one result with full data, track lengths and cover image.
• Search by Author/Title: Improved results because of better "fuzzy matching" and by ordering results based on how close they match your search criteria.
