Today, I’m writing to thank you for being part of the Mp3tag Community!
I’ve very much enjoyed the countless interactions via email or here on the community forums with you and loved every minute of working on Mp3tag over the past year. It’s my hope you’ve enjoyed using it too.
Mp3tag for Windows
I’ve released a total of 5 major versions of Mp3tag for Windows in 2024 (not counting the maintenance releases and beta versions). From the features that I've worked on this year, my personal favorites are:
Cover Thumbnails for Query Results from Tag Sources
When importing via Discogs or MusicBrainz, it was often difficult to decide which release to pick from the list of Tag Sources query results. Some had the correct cover, but for many, it often was a back-and-forth to decide which release to pick. Mp3tag now displays Cover Thumbnails in the list of query results. You can even hover over the small thumbnail image to see a bigger version.
Copy as Text to Clipboard
Another often requested feature was a quick way of copying a textual representation of the selected files to the clipboard. This is now possible via Edit → Copy as Text… where you can use a format string to select what to copy to the clipboard.
Searching the File List
I’ve added support for searching the File List via Edit → Find… and Ctrl+F. Till now, it was always possible to Filter the File List, i.e., reducing the list of files based on simple or complex criteria. However, sometimes it’s also helpful to see which fields are affected or to inspect the matching files in context of the unmatched files. This is where the new Find feature comes into play. It opens a dedicated search window, lists the matching files (you also sort the list, e.g., by field!), and provides means of selecting and navigating the File List based on those matches.
Two other significant projects included support for larger toolbar icons and the very powerful playlist generator.
Mp3tag for Mac
I’ve released a total of 16 incremental versions of Mp3tag for Mac in 2024. When looking at the changelog, I've clearly prioritized on stability and ease of use over the year. This also resulted in no new major release of Mp3tag for Mac in 2024 and, as a consequence, no newsletters from me specific to the Mac version of Mp3tag. Instead, we're now at the 27th incremental version of the v1.8 release 
Your Support
I’m very grateful for all of you who supported me and my project through a donation or by buying a license for Mp3tag for Mac. Your contributions enable me to dedicate significant time to Mp3tag and keep it evolving. It's heartening to see how meaningful and personal your music and video libraries, or podcast and audiobook archives, are to you. Knowing that my work adds value to many of you brings me immense joy. Thank you wholeheartedly for your invaluable support!

Thanks a lot to the regulars on this forum (@ohrenkino, @LyricsLover, @MotleyG, @poster, @Doug_Mackie, @Casual_Tea, @AreDigg) and all the other members who are willing to share their knowledge and experience with other members. A community of any kind is nothing without its people and I'm filled with gratitude and pride that you are part of it.
That’s it for this year! I’m wishing you a Merry Christmas (if you're celebrating), joy and warmth this holiday season, and a healthy and inspiring New Year 2025. 
Thank you for reading, your interest, and your support.
See you next year! Until then, enjoy and take care
