# Mp3tag v3.02 released

I’m currently working most of the time on bringing the macOS version of Mp3tag to life. It means that I’ve spent less time on the Windows version — but it’s far from neglected and I wanted to take the opportunity to detail some of the new features and changes for you.

### Support for alternative freedb servers

The freedb has been shut down by their operators and a list of alternative servers emerged over the last weeks. I’ve decided to keep the freedb feature in Mp3tag and added some stable alternatives with this version.

### Support for web-based search via [gnudb.org](http://gnudb.org)

I’ve also re-implemented the web-based freedb search via [gnudb.org](http://gnudb.org).

### Important fixes related to the Library feature

This new version also fixes an issue with the Library feature, where canceling file reading operations resulted in a blocking crash of Mp3tag. If you’re unfamiliar with Mp3tag’s Library feature: once enabled via „Options \> Library“, it creates a database in the background and uses this database to reduce runtime memory consumption and improves reading performance for many users. It’s especially helpful when dealing with large collections.  
Anyway, I wasn’t able to find the root cause of this issue for weeks and spent hours and hours trying to reproduce it. In the end, it was a one-line fix and it made me smile for the rest of the day.
