Changes in dBpowerAMP Music Converter R 12.2 :
- Reading / Writing (reference only) of wave BEXT ID Tags, bext tags are: Description, Originator, OrigReference, OrigDate, OrigTime, TimeReference, CodingHistory
- Vista: Popup info lines up better aligned
- Tag Editor (shell right click): Standard items are listed first, others alphabetically sorted, when adding new tag is a drop list of standard names
- Tag Editor: helper drop lists for year, track number + genre (remembers unique genres, saved in appdata)
- Popup info shows track number as "Track" in line with rest of programs
- Switched Lame to NASM encoding, slightly slower, but more crash resistant (tried on > 1GB of audio)
- .mpeg added to decodable file types
- If encoding only one file, then multi cpu section is not created (so is not tied to a single cpu)
- CD Ripper title bar shows album name when ripping
- CD Ripper submission of meta data back to freedb and AMG
• Bug Fixes
- Corrupt id3v2 tags could crash tag writer, will now break without overwriting corrupt id tag
- Corrupt wave list id tag would stop the wave file from being decoded, now tag error is reported as info so wave file can decode
- Corrupt wave list id tag can be read if they have unofficial end padding in the list chunk
- Folders can contain a space ' ' as first character
- Filenames ending in .. are preserved
- CD Ripper would show amg expired message even if unchecked (and had expired)
- When auto completing a valuelist combo box, the auto complete was being removed
- mp3 (Lame) might not encode the last frame depending on feeding data
- When encoding using non live dsp effects, the action is shown in music converter
- Can encode to certain wave ACM formats which would previously fail
- All codecs - sample rate of high frequency audio files might be read wrong
- When using DSP effects (both live and non-live, and 32 bit float + high sample rate) the effects could introduce white noise every 1/4 of a second
- CoreConverter if overwriting an already existing filename of maximum allowed length (260 chars) then .tmp.ext temp file would go over the allowed 260 char length
- Music Converter, if existing audio file had a 3 char extension (ie .ape), and converted to .flac, was possible for flac file to have more than the allowed 260 chars length
- Further fixes to make sure dMC + CD Ripper + Batch Converter appear on screen, even after resolution changes
