New in KSP 2009 2009 R4.1 0.4.100.342 (Nov 8, 2009)

Each KSP version may have a few updates available. Application will choose automatically the last one. Remember that update will most likely be smaller than complete setup file

New in KSP 2009 R3 Update 1 0.3.1.235 (Sep 29, 2009)
- Dynamic playlists:
- To enable this feature right click on your playlist and then choose VDJ->Enable. Ensure that this setting is checked and you are not in offline mode (it requires internet connection). Now start playing some track. KSP will automatically download from Last.fm data that will allow it to establish if you have any other tracks similar to current one. If you do then they will be added to the playlist.
- Equalizer:
- From now on you have an access to Equalizer (currently only KSP for Windows compilations). Select setting you desire from Equalizer menu or simply choose it yourself. To enable equalizer go to Setup->KSP->System->Use Equalizer.
- Improved database:
- Recet changes allowed us to make multithreaded access to database more stable. Also a few database support bugs have been eliminated.
- No MySQL support:
- From now KSP supports only Sqlite databases.
- Lyrics:
- If you are playing track that is in your Media Library you can link your own lyrics to it. Just go to Currently Played tab and paste your lyrics there. When you are done click Save Lyrics button. Next time you play this track your lyrics will load automatically.
- Multiple selection (playlist):
- From now you can select multiple playlist entries for example in order to delete them
- Offline mode:
- If your network connection is poor or simply doesn't exist then you can enable an offline mode. Note that if on your playlist you have some network streams KSP still will be able to play them. Also internal web browser will work although when you click on link to netowrk stream playlist (such as those from icecast.org) KSP won't open it. Also dynamic playlists won't work. Offline mode is not saved on exit which means that next time you start KSP you still will have to enable it manually again if you want to stay in offline mode.
