gmmusic / News: Recent posts

Hello everybody,

we've just released the latest development version of gmmusic: 1.1.91.

Manfred once again did great work to fix bugs and make gmmusic again
working with PostgreSQL 7.3.

From this release on, gmmusic is split into two parts: the mmusic
backend (all database routines, which are independant of the frontend)
and the gmmusic frontend. If you install the tarball, you will currently
notice no difference, since both are included in the tarball. But if you
install gmmusic via RPM, you need to download the RPM package for
mmusic, too.... read more

Hi,

after stuggling with Perl 5.8 and RedHat 8.0, and the fact, that the old released don't run anymore on "modern" systems, we've deciced to release a recent tarball of gmmusic, so that you don't have to checkout the latest sources from CVS.

This tarball might generate RPMs on SuSE 8.1 systems, but for many reasons, which I've tried but failed to fix, you cannot build a RPM for RedHat 8.0. That's a pity, but this task currently consumes too much time. RedHat 8.0, the new release 4.1 of rpm, new autogen and gettext mechanisms are a bit too much.... read more

Hello everyone,

we're pleased to announce the latest development release of gmmusic.

This time, we not only have a really easy-to-remember release number, but a few important features were added:

- You can fetch the song data of an LP from freedb (and so
save time when you enter that LP).
- The toolbar is configurable now (if for example, you don't have
any minidiscs, you can leave them out from your toolbar and
save space).... read more

gmmusic 1.0.7, the latest version of the stable branch, is released.

This time, build enhancements were made; all windows can identify themselves with the gmmusic icon in the taskbar and the websearch now works with other browsers (e.g. galeon), too.

Happy using!

gmmusic 1.1.10, the latest development release of the magic music manager is now available for use.

This time, a number of UI improvements and minor bugfixes were made. Besides this, you can now play your CDs with MP3 files through XMMS, and you can use the "WebSearch" feature with galeon (and other browsers, too).

Finally, the documentation was updated.

Happy using!

gmmusic 1.1.9, the latest development release of the magic music manager is released.

This time, a few bugfixes were made, the main menu was restructured in a more gnome-ish way and the installation path of the perl modules has changed.

Happy using!

one again, there's a new release of gmmusic, the magic music manager. This time, the MP3 data gathering heuristics have been improved and one bug, which led to a crash here, has been fixed.

Another development release of gmmusic, the magic music manager, has hit the streets. This release fixes only one bug: All those, who had problems with inserting CDs from freedb when more than one matching CD was found, will be satiesfied now.

Happy using!

The latest development release of gmmusic, the magic music manager, fixes a number of bugs.

The most important fixed bugs are the database setup bug (which should have been solved in 1.1.5, but is now really fixed) and a bug, which caused gmmusic to ignore the first song of a CD, whose data was imported from freedb.

Happy using!
Christoph

The latest stable release of gmmusic, the magic music manager, finally fixes the database setup bug, which should have been fixed in 1.0.4.

This time it really works - I've verified it.

Happy using!

Have fun!

Hi everyone.

Have you ever missed digital audio file (e.g. MP3) management in gmmusic? You can now answer this question in our survey at

http://sourceforge.net/survey/survey.php?group_id=21650&survey_id=12482

And if you did miss it and have good ideas, how such a handling could look like, you can discuss this in our forums.

The gmmusic team is happy to announce the latest development release of gmmusic, the magic music manager.

This release is probably the most intensively tested release ever. In three weeks, many internal changes were made with the aim of makeing gmmusic even more robust than it ever was.

Hi,

we've done it - after many weeks of working on the last details, we've finally released gmmusic 1.0.

With that release, gmmusic has now reached its demanded reliability and from now on, we can focus again on implementing lots of cool and new features. Our TODO list grow longer and longer the last weeks, but if you also have wishes for us, please tell us.

From today on, gmmusic will be split into two branches - a stable branch (the 1.0 tree) and a development branch (the 1.1 tree, which will be opened these days). With that strategy, we can continue providing a rock solid production release on the one hand and a bleeding-edge development release on the other hand.... read more

Hi,

we've right now released 0.99.4, which fixes quite a number of minor bugs and oddities.

If no serious bugs occur (except the one pending issue of the bug tracker, which we still cannot verify, but we'll keep on trying), we will release 1.0 next week.

So, please check gmmusic as good as possible, so that we can either release 1.0 next week or release 0.99.5 instead.

Hi everybody,

gmmusic 0.99.3 is released and we're waiting for your feedback, especially concerning bugs.

Unlike in the previous releases, gmmusic introduces quite a number of exciting features. Some are exciting for the users, others are exiting for the developers:

- A new "WebSearch" functionality was added. This means, that you can now look up songs and artists in your favourite search machine (gmmusic offers some as default) with a simple mouseclick instead of copy/pasting around manually with and in your browser... read more
