Happy New Year

Posted on December 31st, 2007 by travis

What I’m most looking forward to in the coming year.

Pancake/waffle batter in a pressurized can! Organic and shit. Since it is not available in Colorado yet, I think a road trip to San Francisco is in order.

Mesk 0.3.2 - Dead Edge of Town

Posted on July 12th, 2007 by travis

Time for a Mesk release with some useful queue features, bug fixes and more! If you are using Mesk, and I don’t already know you (friends and correspondents) send me a shout, I’d like to get a feel for how many of you there are.

  • New features:
    • New playlist keybindings ‘Q’ and menuitem for adding tracks to the front of the playlist queue.
    • New playlist keybinding Alt+q for clearing the queue.
    • Album covers fetched from amazon are now cached
    • Better notification using “busy cursor” during large playlist adds
    • Gentoo ebuild uses ‘mp3′ instead of the ‘mad’ USE flag.
  • Bugs fixes:
    • Relative paths in playlist URIs now work.
    • Gajim status plugin talks directly with the Gajim DBus service rather than through the shell which fixes the problem encoding ‘♫’
    • Playlist name is exported correctly.
    • Prefer the latest python version installed instead of the minimal version
    • Fix configure options and ebuild USE flags.

Posted on May 8th, 2007 by travis

This is a major bugfix release. If you are running eyeD3 0.6.13 then it is highly recommended that you upgrade (versions < 0.6.13 are not required to upgrade). Details below:

Bugs fixes since 0.6.13:

  • Fixed a nasty corruption of the first mp3 header when writing to files that do not already contain a tag.
  • Fixed a bug that would duplicate TYER frames when setting new values.
  • Fixed the reading/validation of some odd (i.e.,rare) mp3 headers

Features added since 0.6.13:

  • Encoding info extracted from Lame mp3 headers (Todd Zullinger)
  • Genre names will now support ‘|’ to allow for genres like “Rock|Punk|Pop-Punk” and ‘!’ for “Oi!”

eyeD3 0.6.13 - Undercovers On

Posted on April 30th, 2007 by travis
  • Changes since 0.6.12
    • Add –no-zero-padding option to allow disabling of zero padding track numbers. (Thanks TMZ!)
    • Add –nfo option to output NFO format files about music directories.
  • Bug fixes since 0.6.12
    • Numerous tag write fixes, especially regarding ID3 v2.4.
    • Time computation fixes when incorrect MP3 frames headers were found.

Does not look like much, but both bug fixes are pretty major. The write bugs were innocuous but they would grow your tag over time (10 bytes/write) in some circumstances. And who does not want correct times? This bug was rare due to the fact that it required “close but no cigar” mp3 headers. I probably got 5-7 emails about it over the years. Plus two new features. Get rid of leading zeros in track numbers and output NFO files from music dirs.

eyeD3 + Subversion = <3

Posted on March 5th, 2007 by travis

The other day I migrated eyeD3 from CVS to Subversion. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while, but since I was the only one committing to the code it was pretty low on my priority list. But this is no more! Todd Zullinger has sent many great patches over the years and apparently got sick of maintaining a separate tree with all his patches, so the result is that eyeD3 now has two devs with commit access. Sweet!

Get the development trunk here: svn://svn.nicfit.net/eyeD3/trunk

I also set up Trac so users can now submit bugs there instead of just via email:
http://trac.nicfit.net/eyeD3

Hack on!
