With this version Mp3tag now uses a different method for drag & drop of cover art, which does not require re-encoding the cover image. Instead, the original image is used whenever possible. In addition, support for drag & drop of cover art from Google Chrome has been added.

Furthermore, the release year (ID3v2.3 frame TYER, displayed as YEAR) and release date (ID3v2.3 frame TDAT, displayed as DATE) are now combined in YEAR and displayed as YYYY-MM-DD. This improves compatibility with other applications (e.g., foobar2000) and provides a consistent view with all revisions of the ID3v2 specification.

This means 50 releases! (beta versions not counted) since v2.00. Yeah!

Changes of the new version include:

Converter Tag - Tag
This converter formats tag fields by other fields content, which means that you can use it to copy tags from one field to another or to combine contents of multiple different tag fields in one tag field. As already known from the other converters, you can use placeholders for any tag field and scripting functions within the format string to format the content of the specified tag field.
Furthermore, the format string is evaluated while typing and you can verify the results using the builtin preview.

Unicode Playlists in UTF-8 format
You can now save playlists in Unicode format encoded as UTF-8 if you use *.m3u8 as file extension. This can be useful if file names contain special characters. Applications which support UTF-8 encoded playlists are, e.g., Apple iTunes and foobar2000.

Discogs API 2.0
Discogs.com released a completely redesigned API for accessing data from their website based on the popular JSON format. Mp3tag's web source framework and the corresponding discogs web source have been updated to this new format. Thanks dano!

Furthermore, this version fixes various issues that have been reported after the last release of Mp3tag. For a full list of changes please see the History of Changes.

2011 has been a great year for Mp3tag! Besides the plentitude of changes, fixes and (some) new features in the program itself, it attracted more users than ever before.

This would not have been possible without the help of Dano, DetlevD, ohrenkino, Mike_nl and all the other members who keep these forums a friendly and helpful place. It's great that you're here! Thank you!

I'd also like to thank you, the users of Mp3tag, for your valuable and motivating feedback, the lively discussions, for donations you've made and the nice surprises you've sent me from my Amazon wish list. It's really very motivating to see, that people are willing to support projects that are free of cost for them -- so thank you again, you're great!

Changes of the new version include:

Support for unknown MP4 tags
Previous to this version, MP4 tags that were unknown to Mp3tag were deleted from the files, which was an issue for some users. With this version, Mp3tag keeps those unknown MP4 tags (also called atoms).

Support for wildcards at cover import
The actions Import cover from file and Import text file now support wildcards * (matches zero to many characters) and ? (matches exactly one character). This should ease cover import from randomly named files significantly.

Updated Web Sources
The MusicBrainz and discogs Web Sources are now both based on the corresponding web service API which makes them more robust to changes on the respective web sites. Thanks dano!

Furthermore, this version fixes various issues that have been reported after the last release of Mp3tag. For a full list of changes please see the History of Changes.

This version is mainly a maintenance release which updates the Amazon Web Sources and improves Amazon query handling to decrease the amount of needed requests per query. As soon as enough users updated to this new release, the request limit enforced by Amazon should not be an issue anymore.
