Mp3 Filter has been rebuilt from scratch for this version. It features a completely new interface,
a profile system and a redesigned configuration wizard.
|
| 3.20 | 2002/12/31 |
I never made a history entry for this version, although it has been the version that went
without changes for the most time (1 year and a half). I also lost track of when I made it, but
a quick fix (3.20.0.5) has been made on 2002/12/31.
|
| 3.16 | | Enhanced the Mp3 List system with locking and improved searching. |
| 3.15 | | Added Wizard, tips and installation program. |
| 3.14 | | Added funny animation plugin and Windows Explorer shell extension. |
| 3.12 | | Minor bugfixes + changed the Edit tag interface. |
| 3.11 | 2002/08/10 | Added Import list feature + first 5kb of the files comparison. |
| 3.10 | 2002/07/26 | Added extension plugins. |
| 3.01 | | Fixed the ID3 Tag editor a bit. Changed the way comparison works: it now can use ID3 Tags. |
| 3.00 | |
The interface simply has been C-O-M-P-L-E-T-E-L-Y redesigned. Customization level is at
it's maximum, too cool.
|
| 2.21 | |
Added some speed ONCE AGAIN, improved the memory managmentand added a "favourite
directories" feature. I also removed some confusing options. The final result is quite cute!
|
| 2.20 | 2002/01/27 |
Interface has been COMPLETELY rebuilt. Now there are MUCH more place for everything! Several
minor bugs has also been fixed Added mass ID3 tag editing.
|
| 2.10 | |
Shareware again. Fixed some major bugs. Rebuilt (again) the mp3 list system, it's now
much more flexible. Added a configuration wizard. Added a renameing preview. Well, it's
a good update after all eh!
|
| 2.01 | |
Added multi-language support. Added a "Send to recycle bin" option. Enhanced rename
feature. Corrected some bugs with rename function. Enhanced list search function.
|
| 2.00 | 2001/11/30 |
As 11 Sept 2001 entered in the History, the release date of this program will too! Ok, here is
the list of Mp3 Filter version 2.00 godly features:
-
SPEED!!!!!!!!!!!! Forget about what I said before. Previous versions were TURTLES
compared to that one. (Imagine what other programs are eh! :P). What took 1 minute
take 3-5 seconds now, and the more files you have to compare together, the better
will be the files/time ratio will be!
-
Multi-list system. It is now easier than ever to exchange lists with your friends
and select songs!
- Cuter interface.
|
| 1.61 | |
There was some stability issues with the internal player I was using. Mp3 Filter is now using
Winamp. Thus, all files playable by Winamp are now playable by Mp3 Filter. Fixed some minor
bugs. Changed the way word exclusion system work. AND added a song selection system. Now you
can select songs from your mp3 list and copy them to your hard drive without having to worry
about where are these songs.
|
| 1.60 | |
The main theme of this update is efficiency. Mp3 Filter v1.53 was already pure speed,
you will NOT believe this version's one. 60% faster on ALL comparisons! Do not search
for God anymore, you found Him and He even got an e-mail adress: cathedly@hotmail.com :P (EDIT:
ahh, good ol' time when my official address was a hotmail one). Ok, to tell you the truth
I did not make Mp3 Filter 60 % faster, I made it 60% less slow. My previous algorithm wasn't
bad, but I tought about another one (this one) that has much better performances. ALSO: Created
an option form. Changed the results display (Added some info along with the results
(size,length,bitrate). Added a word excluding system. Also added a backup system (Instead of
deleting it, you can now move your file to the Mp3 Filter backup directory (Mp3 filter does
not compare files in the backup directory).
|
| 1.53 | 2001/06/27 |
Damnit, big update. Added the conditionnal file searching, file copying, and rethinked the
Mp3List system. That new Mp3List system is damn cool! It load instantly, even with HUGE lists,
and it reduces the comparing time with list by 30 godly % !!! You're not gonna believe it!
This program is now PURE SPEED!
|
| 1.52 | |
Quite cool update too. This version now can check if new versions are available. I also grouped
all options in the same menu. I moved the search function. This function is now a lot cooler.
Instead of giving you a list of matching results, it shows you, in the Mp3 List Stats form, where
the song is by positioning itself in the List Tree.
|
| 1.51 | |
Waa! I'm so happy! I implemented a poll system to Mp3 Filter! Now you can answer my questions
directly on the program! I can't wait to see if you, people, will answer!(EDIT:
apparently, you didn't)
|
| 1.50 | |
MAJOR UPDATE. This one is quite cool :). You ever used the "Edit Mp3 List" feature?
I improved it a lot. Now, when you add a CD to your list, it not only saves the CD name, but it
also saves the whole CD directory system. So when you use 'Edit Mp3 List' now, you can browse
your CDs as if you would browse anything. (Theres only one problem: you must REbuild your mp3 list
to make it fit with v1.5)
|
| 1.46 | |
Added an equalizer. This equalizer has been a good reason to add an INI file to the program
to store changed parameters.
|
| 1.45 | |
Added a Banlist to the program. You write down a list of unwanted songs in your ban list and
start a scan. This function will not compare as the rest does. If ALL words contained in a
banlist line are in a filename, it will match.
|
| 1.44 | |
I made the Mp3 Filter window to minimize when it compares so it can do it faster (a LOT faster).
I also modified the program so it checks the playlist integrity each time theres a file deleted
(after a comparison). There was a bug whith the v1.43. When you had the ID3 Tag window up and you
closed the program, it would crash. Fixed that.
|
| 1.43 | 2001/04/29 |
I noticed some days ago that people who had a good resolution but the option to enlarge the
icons on, Mp3 Filter had some big problems to display its main form right. Since you cant
resize the form without having the objects in to resize too, I had to fix it. I also implemented
a MUCH faster file searching system. It takes less than 2 seconds to find all mp3 on my hard
disk now.
|
| 1.42 | |
Added some fun and useful feats. First, I made a cute playlist right-click menu with Play File,
Edit Tag, Locate, Remove from list and delete from disk. I also added a recursive function to
add songs to the playlist (Why didn't I think about it before?? I have no clue...). I also
made the Shuffle thing less.... random. (It builds a random list and play it, so before a song
play again, all songs will be played (I added that feat some time after v1.41 release, but I
didn't thought that it worth a version change, so I only announce it on 1.42))
|
| 1.41 | |
I can't avoid it. there is always some bugs after a major update. I didn't tought
about the fact that it was possible to make a playlist with unplayable files :) fixed that.
|
| 1.40 | 2001/04/07 |
MAJOR UPDATE! You wanted a playlist. You got it in this version. Those big buttons were ugly?
Made a cute standard menu. You didn't seem to want to buy that program. I gave up. Here
is it. Freeware again.
|
| 1.36 | |
Made it possible to play files that are listed after a "Find all Mp3 on this drive".
It also tells what song is currently playing on the main title bar.
|
| 1.35 | | Added a system icon. Wow! it almost looks like winamp! |
| 1.34 | | Added music progress bar and made the music playing continuous. |
| 1.33 | | Added mass renaming functions. |
| 1.32 | 2001/03/18 | Fixed some bugs with those useful function :) (and made the program shareware) |
| 1.31 | | Added some useful functions. |
| 1.30 | 2001/03/08 |
MAJOR CHANGE. yeah! I scrapped those radio buttons, and extended the "recurse" function.
Now, you only have 2 choices. Or you compare with your list, or you compare within the folder
(and sub-folders). With that system, you can tell the program to just compare ALL mp3 in your hard
drive. You just have to select your drive root, and press "Find dupe files in this folder"
having "Recurse" checked.
|
| 1.23 | | Added the Music Control panel. I just love it. do you? |
| 1.22 | |
Fixed some innacuraccy with folder to folder comparison. (Will I be done fixing someday??) and
made mp3 search slightly faster.
|
| 1.21 | 2001/03/07 |
Added Mp3 Player (Didn't know it was so easy to include in a program! I woulda done this
before if I knew...) and ID3 Tag Editor. Hum, The Mp3 Player has some problems reading some mp3s...
know that.
|
| 1.20 | |
When I removed the "find mp3 in my list" thing, some people told me it was useful. However,
I still think that the old way to search mp3 was too messed up, so I just added a little textbox and a
search button for quick search.
|
| 1.19 | |
When I read Yippee review (www.yippee.net thanks for review), I tried to somewhat improve it.
What changed? This:
-
Compare engine is less strict. if one word contains the other, it now
match (now, "Limp Bizkit" and "Limp Bizkitt" would match)
-
Removed some unuseful features to simplify the interface. "Save as..."
(why did I put this on???) and "Find file in my list" (Easier to find a song
with "Edit List")
- Added some hints to buttons and some explicative labels.
-
"List Stats" changed to "Edit List" so you don't have
to "hard change" your mp3 list.
|
| 1.18 | 2001/03/03 |
Damnit! why didnt I see it? There was a bug with displaying the right filename on the result
boxes with List comparing. The results were switched! Thus, deleting was impossible after a
List compare. Corrected it in 1.18.
|
| 1.17 | 2001/02/06 |
I never tought that a software history would be useful for such a small pogram, but since Mp3 filter
won't stop improving, I decided to start it. So 1.17 is the base version.
