New features of the version 3.5

Player

• A new “carrousel” covers view is available (for Albums or Compositions): Showing now as many pictures as one wants without having to page, just scrolling. Moreover, the user can sort the album covers in any order he may desire, for example: Period, Composer, Genre, Instruments or Date created, Audio specification or Genre, Artist etc. One can select many albums/compositions at a time (using the usual way of selecting used by Windows) to send their respective tracks to be played. 

MusiCHI Tagger

• Box set wizard: this new feature helps the user to create one folder per CD and move files accordingly then automatically upgrade the track count, CD number and CD count for each CD of the set, as well as the album name.

• In the data grid, the specifications of the album covers are displayed for each track (height & width in pixels and whether it is embedded) so the user can identify  the low resolution pictures easily, hoping to find better ones (ideal size 500 to 700 pixels) on the net.
• If one moves the mouse cursor over the current album cover, one can see its graphic specifications (size and whether it is embedded or not).
• Auto selects the composers for which MusiCHI Suite has a composition catalog for the tracks loaded in the data grid.

Tagger and ripper

• A major improvement: A completely redone text processing utility to help the user to format its metadata, which is much easier to use than before and offers many more new powerful features. Most formatting actions can be saved, so they can be executed sequentially at a later point in time.  At one's disposal now, a scripting language is now available for batch mode processing of the metadata.
