Mp3tag v3.27 released
I've just released Mp3tag v3.27 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes:
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.
Cover Dimensions for Discogs Query Results
This new column for Discogs Query Results is for everyone who prefers square cover art.
Improvements for MP4 support
This version adds support for Opus in MP4 containers, introduces new MP4-specific field mappings, adds support for detection of AV1 video tracks in MP4, and adds error reporting for malformed MP4 files.
Re-Implemented TAK support
I got rid of the official TAK library tak_deco_lib.dll, which was only available as external DLL and re-implemented Mp3tag's support for TAK with my own parser. This change was triggered by CVE-2024-7193, where a malicious actor created and distributed Mp3tag alongside a modified tak_deco_lib.dll, which contained malicious code.
Updated Code-Signing Certificate
I've updated the code-signing certificate that is used to digitally sign and verify the origin and integrity of Mp3tag's installer and executable.
Bugfixes
This new version also includes a surprising amount of fixed bugs, so I recommend everyone to update — especially if something doesn't work as expected.
