# Mp3tag for Mac v1.5 released

I’ve just released Mp3tag for Mac v1.5 and there are many changes and improvements, some of which I want to highlight here for you:

### New action types and import from Windows

I’ve added three new action types with this release:

- **Convert Codepage** takes care of text that was encoded using a different codepage and tries to revert the damage.
- **Import Text File** allows for importing the contents of a text file to a tag field (e.g., the lyrics of a song).
- **Set Cover Properties** allows for setting the cover type (Front, Back, …) and a cover description for embedded album art.

Beyond that, the new **Import** feature allows for importing action groups created using the Windows version.

### Cover thumbnails for Tag Sources search results

The list of search results when importing from Discogs or MusicBrainz now includes a cover thumbnail to make it easier to choose the correct release. I’m using this for a few weeks now and can’t imagine going back.

### Importing via direct text input

Till now, Mp3tag used an external text file when importing via converter **Text file - Tag**. With the new version, I’ve added the option to also import via direct text input. It’s especially helpful for cases, where you would create a temporary file just for importing (e.g., a tracklisting that is copied from Wikipedia).

### A few more things

I’ve also worked on many more fixes and other changes that don’t make it into dedicated mentions in this newsletter. However, if you’re interested, you can inspect them all via the [Mp3tag for Mac changelog](https://mp3tag.app/changelog/). If something is unclear or sparks your interest, please don’t hesitate to ask.

If you’re not yet using Mp3tag for Mac, you can always get the [7-day trial version](https://mp3tag.app/get) — only days you’re using the app are counted.

**Thank you for reading, your interest, and your support.**

Enjoy and take care  
— Florian

P.S. The first early-access alpha version of Mp3tag was released 2 years ago 🥳 It's 50+ versions later now!
