# Mp3tag v3.04 released
Computers can always be faster and I've spent so much time working on improving performance over the course of the past weeks.
### Performance improvements
This version adds various improvements to make reading MP3 and MP4 files (especially MP4s with chapters) even more performant. Also, the process of selecting large amounts of files (all file formats) is more snappy with this new version.
### Album artists from MusicBrainz
This version adds support for importing album artist information from MusicBrainz. MusicBrainz also has become my favorite tag source in Mp3tag over time. It has all the information I need, usually with great accuracy and excellent data quality.
### Randomize sorting
If you ever wanted to create a playlist with tracks in randomized order, you've either used Mp3tag's hidden feature to randomize the file list or resorted to manual ordering. This feature is not hidden anymore but available now via "View \> Sort By \> Randomize".

I've just released Mp3tag v3.04a as a hotfix release for Mp3tag v3.04. I've introduced two memory leaks with the previous version which needed to be fixed immediately.
Thanks to the person who reported this issue!
