New in Mp3tag 3.06 (Mar 26, 2021)

  • This new version is mainly about spring-cleaning with lots of improvements and fixes and I want to take the opportunity to detail some of the new features and changes for you. It's also first version that requires Windows 7 as a minimum operating system. It was about time.
  • Retry for Tag Sources:
  • If no results are returned for a certain search at Tag Sources, it's now possible to retry and having the previous query already filled in. No more entering the same information twice (or trice!).
  • I've also added the option to retry for error case, e.g., when the internet connection of the servers are flaky.
  • Option to disable auto-sizing of columns in Tag Source results:
  • So far, the column width for Tag Sources results has been decided based on the content that was returned from the query. While it always displays the full content, it also means that some columns are outside the dialog width and scrolling is needed. You can now disable the auto-sizing of column via the context menu of the column header.
  • Undo via Ctrl+Z in Tag Panel fields:
  • This was quite some time in the making (I've received the first bug report on that back in Jan 2014). You can now undo text entry in Tag Panel fields without undoing the last tag-write or rename operation.
  • Actions and Tag Sources available via context menu:
  • The file list context menu now also has the Actions and Tag Sources available via submenus. Sometimes it's just faster to trigger them from the context menu.

  • Action "Adjust cover" to resize cover art:
  • Many hardware players have certain limitations on the size of cover art and then it's sometimes just nice to scale down this 10000x10000 cover to a reasonable size. You can also use this action type to convert from JPEG to PNG or vice versa. It's quite handy and I hope it improves your workflow.
  • MusicBrainz tag sources with multiple search criteria:
  • The MusicBrainz tag source now also offers two distinct search fields for album and artist and adds support for MUSICBRAINZ_RELEASEGROUPID along the way.
  • Accessibility related improvements:
  • I've reworked most of the menu-drawing code in high-contrast modes so that it is now more in line with the native menus that the various supported versions of Windows are providing. Also, some buttons and menus were not accessible to screen readers ‐ if you're noticing something like that, please let me know.
