Mp3tag for Mac v1.9 released

I’ve just released Mp3tag for Mac v1.9 and I want to take the opportunity to outline some of the new features and improvements for you:

Support for the Matroska File Format

Mp3tag now has support to view and edit metadata of Matroska audio (MKA), Matroska video (MKV), and WebM files, and thereby supporting one of the most complex metadata formats via a common and accessible user interface. Support for chapters in Matroska is on my internal wish list.

Replace Cover via Tag Panel

If you wanted to replace the existing embedded album cover, it involved a couple of steps (removing old, and selecting new). If the file had multiple covers and you wanted to replace a cover, even more steps were involved: in addition, the existing covers needed to be exported and re-added. This is a thing of the past, and the currently displayed cover can now easily be replaced via Replace from the right-click contextual menu on the cover window.

Improved Keyboard Navigation at Tag Sources

I've reworked the Tag Sources search window to use the Search button as the initial default button. After results have been queried, the Next button acts as default and responds to the Return key press. Tab navigation order has also been improved and it should feel more natural now to use the Tag Sources search via keyboard.

A few more things

Mp3tag is now localized to Danish — mange tak to @Littelking! I’ve also improved undoing cover operations and changed many of the converters, e.g., Tag - Filename, to take unsaved changes into account. In addition, I've fixed a couple of issues and introduced quality-of-life changes, which are all meticulously listed in the Mp3tag for Mac changelog. If something is unclear or sparks your interest, please don’t hesitate to ask.

It's a free update! You can update the Mac App Store version via the Update tab in the App Store app and the standalone version from within the app via File → Check for Updates.

And if you’re not yet using Mp3tag for Mac, you can always get the 7-day trial version — only days you’re using the app are counted.

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

Enjoy and take care
— Florian
