New in MegaSeg Pro 6.2.0 (Nov 1, 2021)

New:
Interface:
The Settings window, Edit Info, and many others now match the dark esthetic of MegaSeg’s main interface on recent macOS versions, including the latest macOS Monterey.
Dialogs & Accessibility:
Transitioned to the new dialog style on macOS Monterey and Big Sur, which also improves accessibility. Various other window and dialog buttons have also been updated for improved accessibility on macOS Mojave and newer.
DRM Playback:
Added limited playback support for the new Lossless audio format for Apple Music subscription tracks.
MIDI Control:
Added new controller presets for Numark’s MixTrack Pro FX and Pro 3, Pioneer’s DDJ-SR2, and Hercules DJControl Starlight and Wave.
Edit Info:
Added an embedded video preview display when editing a video track.
Added option to set custom chapter markers for long video tracks (such as movies or TV episodes), with the ability to cycle through chapters each time the track is played.
Logging:
Added a new SoundExchange log export preset. In the Logs view, select the “Open Range” option and choose a period to view (e.g. Last Month), then click “Save As” and choose “SoundExchange”.
Added “Cue Sheet” support for long mix tracks and prerecorded shows. This allows logging of metadata for each track played using a corresponding text file matching the audio file’s name, but with the .cue extension (e.g. ‘filename.mp3.cue’ or ‘filename.cue’) and following the standard specification.
You can optionally use a simplified “shorthand” format using colon separated ‘Key: Value’ pairs, for example:
Track Index 00:06:11:00
Title: West End Girls
Artist: Pet Shop Boys
Album: Please
The time format is HH:MM:SS:ff (where ‘ff’ is the defunct “frames” from the audio CD days, and thus always ‘00’.) You may optionally omit hours and use 00:MMM:SS:00, where MMM is triple-digit minutes.
Metadata:
Added support for SS32 WAV files and EXIF WAV tags.
Playback:
New playback engine for long audio files (over 45 minutes) which now supports VU Meters, Automatic Volume Control, and instant loading.
Web Command Interface:

Album Artwork:
Added ability to use an image file for artwork that has the same name as the audio file (e.g. “track.mp3” and “track.jpg”).
Improved:
Category Browser:
The category list now displays the categories in their assigned colors.
Category Colors:
Changes to category colors are instantly reflected in the Library and Playlist views.
DRM Playback:
An iTunes Store track purchased before 2009 can now play in multiple decks and be previewed at the same time.
Opening a DRM track in a deck is faster.
Reliability improvements.
Edit Info:
If the “Rename files” option is enabled, but “Use Native Length” is also enabled, the file will only be renamed if the Option key is pressed while clicking Save. (Same applies to Library Tools > File Renamer.) This avoids common situations where the original file name should remain unchanged while using Native Length.
Events:
Changing a track’s title or artist info via the Edit dialog now updates all Insert Track events to match.
If an event list is automatically reloaded due to being edited or modified outside of the event list itself (such as by another system sharing the same library), it maintains the current scroll position.
Insert URL events now accepts podcast show URLs copied directly from the Apple Podcast app or Apple’s website. (i.e. the “Share” URL from a podcast’s main overview page, not a specific episode page.)
Insert URL events use improved heuristics to detect more RSS feeds, and works with additional podcast XML formats.
Insert URL event works with shared Dropbox URLs not already set to automatically download.
Open/Save dialog now filters out extraneous audio files put in the Events folder by mistake.
Library & Playlist:
Tracks set to “Use Native Length” now show “Native” as the track’s duration in lists and log views.

Metadata:
MegaSeg now sends ‘Artist - Title’ info to the Ladiocast encoder by default.
Tracks with bitrate over 1000 are now displayed as kbps rather than kB/s, to avoid confusion.
Playlist Browser:
All empty or “ghost” Music.app playlists are now hidden, such as odd duplicate playlists from the TV and Podcasts apps.
Type-to-select in the Music.app/iTunes playlist section works more consistently.
Music.app/iTunes database initialization is now fully threaded on 64-bit builds for a smoother experience with large libraries.
Playlist Queue:
The current playlist queue is now auto-saved at all times, so if there is an unexpected issue, users can pickup right where they left off.
Remote Control:
When the Playback menu’s “Use Keynote Shortcuts” mode is enabled, it now works with more types of remotes to segue, pause, and restart the last track.
The “Use Keynote Shortcuts” mode is now remembered between sessions.
Scheduler:
If a schedule is open, and tracks are added or removed from a category within the schedule, the rotation speeds, average track length, and playlist duration are updated.
The category list’s track counts are refreshed in all cases, such as when using the Playlist menu > Save as Category command, or dropping a track directly into the Category Browser.
Video Playback:
For video tracks, the Decks now display transport bar waveforms, VUs, and the WaveViewer, as well as support Automatic Volume Control.

Resolved an issue where a currently playing DRM track could stop while swapping another DRM track in the next position.
Resolved a false positive quarantine warning about MegaSeg appearing to run from inside the Downloads folder.
Resolved an issue where looping playlists may stall on reload.
Edit Info:

Logging: NowPlaying.html iTunes badge is now linked directly to the artist and album page on the iTunes store if available.
Logs: In cases where multiple systems are sharing the same MegaSeg data folder (for syncing and library/playlist sharing), MegaSeg now detects this automatically and creates a unique Logs folder for each system. The folder name is based on the MegaSeg System name in MegaSeg's Network settings. If that is not unique, then the computer name is added. If that is not unique, the Mac's UUID is used. You can rename the Logs folder using the System Name setting in MegaSeg's Network preferences dialog.

Ambient Playlist: Fixed a possible IO error when the disk is full and saving the Ambient Playlist backup file.
Ambient Playlist: Multi-select drag from library now puts tracks in correct order.
Auto Volume Control: Fixed a bug where it would fail to start with the tracks default volume.

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.5.5 (Dec 16, 2010)

AutoSeg: When AutoSeg is enabled, and the current song ends, if the next deck is already playing, it no longer restarts the track from the beginning. This solves the problem of forgetting AutoSeg is on while doing a manual mix.
Category Editor: A possible fix for a missing object error when closing the dialog.
Decks: Fixed a bug where the decks would not accept tracks dragged from the iTunes playlist viewer directly.
Importing: New blazing fast iTunes importing option. The old iTunes Spotlight import button was replaced with the new iTunes Library importer. The new iTunes importer will also retain the "Date Added" date from your iTunes Library.
Importing: When a new user starts MegaSeg the first time, the iTunes library is pre-imported automatically.
Library Data: For new users the data folder that contains the MegaSeg's database, playlists, events, and log files is no longer stored in the Documents folder inside a folder named "MegaSeg User Data". The new location is in the Music folder inside a "MegaSeg" subfolder. However, if MegaSeg finds the old "MegaSeg User Data" folder in your Documents, it will continue to use that location, or your custom preference setting.
Library Data: When selecting a new MegaSeg User Data folder location preference, you can now use the New Folder button or any empty folder to create a new empty library.
Library: The Date Added sort order is now newest to oldest.
Log text filenames now use "Log yyyy-mm-dd" format.
MIDI: EQ values now control a larger range, and fixed a bug with Mid EQ not centered in range.

MIDI: Right gain control now works the full 3x boost range.
Playlists: Added playlist autosave on Quit for playlist persistance.
Playlists: Double-clicking a track in a playlist that has not yet been imported will attempt to auto-import it and add it to the playlist cue.
Playlists: Drag-n-drop a track from an iTunes playlist in the playlist browser now works correctly in cases where the iTunes file path may be missing but MegaSeg has a valid reference regardless.
Playlists: Fixed a bug when opening a saved playlist that prevented tracks that start with a pound sign (#) or colon (:) from loading.
Playlists: When opening an iTunes playlist with tracks not previously imported, you can now cancel the import faster.
Scheduler: Accepts drag-n-drop of tracks from iTunes playlist view.
Various interface changes.

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.5.3 (Nov 24, 2010)

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.5.2 (Nov 23, 2010)

A stability fix for the category browser and improvements to ambient video, album art, editing, logging, the mixer, multi select drag-n-drop, playlists, the scheduler, video, the wave viewer, and more...
Album art: When in Discrete Output Mode, album covers update correctly in non-Mixer view, and the left cover doesn't flicker every other segue.
Ambient Video: Fixed an issue where certain video files would not clear from the background when the next video was a different aspect ratio.
Ambient Video: While an ambient video is playing full screen, and a new track starts in the main playlist (non-video), the menubar and dock no longer reappear.
Automatic Volume Control performs better with certain styles of music that could cause over suppression.
Category Browser: Fixed a rare but potential crash when opening or closing the Category Browser.
Edit dialog: The Restrict Play Date fields are no longer difficult to set. It now waits for the date field to lose focus before validating and updating the opposite date field to the correct range.
Edit dialog: The volume setting now supports the same 300% boost range as the Mixer.
Library: Dragging multiple tracks at once into the playlist no longer causes the Library to lose its selection.
Library: Imported files that are moved to the Trash via the Finder on external volumes are no longer automatically found and re-linked.
Library: Optimized file operations when multiple volumes are mounted, especially network cloud volumes.
Logging: Fixed various bugs with the Send To URL feature, including issues using two URLs and/or passwords, and sending to a secured URL.
Logging: The NowPlaying.html output changes to "n/a" when the playlist stops or breaks.
Mixer: The headphone preview mode now displays a cue volume control on the bottom left corner.
Mixer: Dragging the Deck's transport bar to the end will no longer cause it to immediately AutoSeg while the mouse is held down. Also fixes an issue where a single click in the transport timeline and the mouse is moved immediately afterward could cause it to change to a different position.
Mixer: If Advance is clicked (or while in Discrete Output Mode, Advance or Segue) and the track has less remaining time than the crossfade duration, it will no longer cause a double segue.
Mixer: Fixed a bug where the crossfader and Wave Viewer would not animate during an AutoSegue in Discrete Output Mode.
Mixer: Fixed an issue when using drag-n-drop to load a track into a deck where it could fail to update the segue time under certain circumstances, causing a possible pre-mature segue.
Mixer: Fixed a delay when you click the timeline transport to jump to the end of a long track.
Mixer: When AutoSeg is enabled, and AutoSeg trim is set for more than 0 seconds, the Mixer's timeline bar now reflects the trimmed length.

Playlist: Break tracks no longer cause a double fade out when using the Advance button in the mixer or while using Discrete Output Mode.
Scheduler: When closing the preferences window after saving a schedule, it now properly clears the Scheduler.
Video: Optimized video playback when scaling up processor intensive codecs larger than double size. If the frame rate is not optional in full screen, set the screen resolution closer to the video's native size.
Wave Viewer: Pressing Play or Stop quickly after using the trackpad to cue or adjust the pitch no longer blocks trackpad cueing or playback.
Wave Viewer: When the pitch is adjusted, and a track is re-cued (stopped), the wave is repositioned correctly.

Web Commands: The Insert track command correctly parses URL encoded and UTF-8 characters, and reports any errors back to the browser.
Web Commands: The NowPlaying command now works with non-HTML templates.
Various other minor interface improvements.

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.5.1 (Oct 23, 2010)

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.5 (Oct 12, 2010)

New Waveform Viewer for easy visual mixing and beat syncing, including support for trackpad scrubbing (or mouse scroll wheel) for speed adjustments, or drag-to-shift syncing. Allows high speed rewind and fast forward skimming, and is fully compatible with iTunes protected files (m4p). Also supports analog style cueing while paused with two-finger trackpad scrolling (or mouse wheel).
New Album art displays for current track, and both decks in Mixer view.
New Audio and Video filter checkboxes in Category Browser to find files by kind.
New Rules for minimum title and album separation for finer control, and also prevents the same songs performed by different artists from playing too close together (covers, standards, etc.) The Album separation rule is also helpful for DMCA compliance for online streaming.
New video icon displays next to video tracks in the library and playlist.
New gain controls allow up to +300% level adjustment in the Mixer.
New bass and treble controls allow for super deep filters via parametric sweeps. The knobs can rotate counterclockwise multiple times for up to -6x power adjustments. Full backward rotation will nearly filter all sound except the very highest or lowest frequencies. The max value is also 2x more powerful than before.
New high resolution app icon.
New improved MPEG-4/MOV/AAC tag reading code.
New multi-column report window for missing or removed files.
Ambient Video: Added Video menu command for "Ambient Video Override", which allows you to play Music Video tracks in the main playlist as audio only while Ambient Video is playing.
Ambient Video: If Video Always Closed menu is checked, it now pauses the Ambient playlist which prevents it from re-opening the video window.
Ambient Video: When Ambient Video is turned On while a music video is playing then turned off again, it now returns to the main playlist video.
AppleScript: Added "Insert Category" function.
Automatic Volume Control is more responsive with a deeper threshold.
AutoSeg mode is now stored to disk as a preference when changed, rather than at quit.
Category browser reflects the Library's color and font size preferences.
Drag-n-drop a track from iTunes into MegaSeg's playlist will no longer cause an error if the track was not able to be imported or found in the library.
Drag-n-drop in the list displays now shows a ghost image of the track being dragged.
Drag-n-Drop: Added translucent drag to Scheduler, Open Playlist, Decks, and Log window.
Edit Categories: Remove old unnecessary block that prevented categories being added that started with non 0-9 and a-z characters (#, !, $, etc.) Also allows for single character categories.
Edit Dialog: Fixed bug with Edit window's popup menus not updating intermittently while Preview is playing.
Error Dialogs: Added a timestamp to error dialogs and reports.
Error Dialogs: Added more error checking when opening the iTunes Library.xml file, including better error messages if something goes wrong to help pinpoint the cause.
Error Dialogs: More exception handling in deck controller for more accurate error reports.
Error Dialogs: Resolved an issue where the unexpected error dialog would block events and rules from running.
Events: Added new Insert Break (Serial Trigger) option that allows a break track to also send serial data to a relay device and wait to segue when it receives a message back. This can be used to start a satellite receiver or trigger some other external device using a relay switch such as the SRC-2 from BroadcastTools.com.
Events: Fixed a bug with the new Insert Break (Serial) function that caused it to use the wrong baud rate and other settings.
Events: Insert URL dialog no longer considers an http:// protocol URL to be a standard web download if a port is specified (even port 80 or 8080). If it is a standard web file download, specify no port at all. Adding a port always means it's a live stream.
Events: Insert URL event allows you to change the Pre-Download Time again (for supported event types).
Events: Insert URL stream with the icy:// protocol no longer adds duplicate track records to the library. It now reuses previous track info including custom Title and Artist. (All live streams are added to the URLevents category).
Events: The Load Playlist event will no longer interrupt an active Break Track.
Events: The serial port now reports any errors.
ID3 Tags: Fixed an issue with ID3 tag reading code that could cause incorrect data lengths due to improper ID3 syncsafe integer.
ID3 Tags: Scan for corrupt ID3 tags is now performed if the MegaSeg Database file is in a older format, instead of just once per version update. This will catch ID3 problems when switching between versions of MegaSeg or using multiple libraries.
Import Dialog: Added button to MegaSeg's Import Options to reset iTunes Import Folder location to default location (which defers to iTunes Library.xml).
Importing: Blocked the "TheVolumeSettingsFolder" on FAT-32 volumes.
Importing: filters .epub files and Downloads folder (iTunes temp folder that holds incomplete downloaded files).
Importing: Fixed a bug that prevented importing of extra long voice memo audio files recorded with an iPhone.
Importing: Fixed a bug with the regular Import dialog that failed to use the selected Category after an Import Files event was executed.
Importing: Fixed a Missing Object error that could occur when importing files.
Importing: Fixed out of bounds error that could occur if more than 3,000 files could not be imported due to wrong type or corruption.
Importing: When importing files from FAT-32 volumes, which does not support true FileIDs, the temporary (non-persistant) FileIDs are no longer used, which could potentially cause miss-linked files if a file goes missing and an invalid FileID is used to relink it.
iTunes Playlists: If iTunes Library is missing, the Open Playlist dialog no longer shows an object error.
iTunes Playlists: If the iTunes Library XML file is missing, it no longer gives an error during launch, and instead only when the Playlist view is displayed. If an iTunes error displays, it now automatically closes the iTunes playlist section to suppress further errors.
iTunes Playlists: Now uses iApps plist preference file to properly locate non-default iTunes Library.xml file location.
Library: Added super amazing cool relative path searching for missing or moved song files and folders. This will find files moved to different hard drives even if the root path has been changed. It will also find files if a user migrated from one Mac to another but changed usernames. It just works.
Library: The Remove File from library dialog now shows the title instead of the filename. This also fixes an issue when removing stream tracks where it would sometimes not show anything or just part of the URL in the dialog.
Library Tools: Scan for duplicates using the Title, Artist, and Time option now uses a fuzzy track length (0 to 10 seconds difference).
Library: Fixed various Out of Bounds error when library exceeds 100,000 tracks and changing listbox selections.
Library: Category view: Fixed scrollbar bug where if you scroll the category list down, switch to Playlist view, then back to Category view the list would be partially scrolled out of view, even when no scrollbar was present because list was shorter than view height.
List displays now display fully on the 27" iMac's 2560x1440 "super-HD" screen, and removed main window's manual resize limitation.
Lists: Track info pop-ups no longer flicker "..." when mousing over different rows for a much faster and seamless display.
Lists: Various text is bolder (category browser, open playlist viewer, etc.)
Lists: Various type-to-select lists now clear search string after 1 second vs. 1.5 seconds.
Log files now store date and time in SQL standard format to prevent potential date parsing problems.
Logs: All log and playlist files are now created with read & write permissions for Owner, Group, and Everyone to prevent issues with multiple usernames sharing the same MegaSeg User Data folder.
Logs: Fixed a bug that could cause 12pm hour tracks to be removed from the log cache incorrectly when using a 24-hour clock time format.
Logs: Fixed a missing object error when opening a log file with the "day starts at" hour set to something other than 12 am, and no log file exists for the next day.
Logs: If the logs folder can not be written to due to an ownership or permissions issue, it gives a clear error report rather than a Missing Object (LoggingDelay.action) error.
Logs: Now Playing HTML output file now supports album art. A new NowPlaying.jpg file is saved to the logs folder, and the default NowPlaying.html file references it when art is available. If a custom template is enabled, the artwork can be inserted manually or using tag. There's also a tag that will be replaced with "True" or "False" if you use Javascript or other language to determine if artwork is available.
Logs: NowPlaying log file's default template has refreshed look.
Logs: Shoutcast metadata (sent directly from MegaSeg using built-in method) is now sent in Artist - Title order. This matches what many web players expect for looking up album art. Also limit metadata to Artist & Title only since historically that is all Shoutcast and various players expect in the song string.
Logs: The log viewer now converts the log file's SQL time and date formats to the user's preferred format for display.
Logging: Added new "Send Now Playing info to URL" function which is backward compatible with the older "Send to Shoutcast" setting. It now offers the ability to post data to any server using a custom URL with various metadata parameters. To build a custom URL, place the insertion cursor in the URL field where you want to insert a metadata variable and select one from the Insert Variable button menu. If no path or variables are specified, and SHOUTcast is selected as the server option, then the standard SHOUTcast variables will be used. (Note Icecast servers will accept SHOUTcast style URLs, but we've added Icecast's preferred format as a preset option).
Menus no longer stop interface from updating or AutoSeg to perform.
Metadata: Removed low BPM filter to allow for extra low Measures Per Minute values.
MIDI: Added better error handling to MIDI port code, as well as a fix for a possible Missing Object error when using certain MIDI devices.
Mixer: Double-clicking the gain controls toggles Automatic Gain Control setting.
Mixer: Drag-n-drop a new track into the current deck now properly resets the cue position.
Mixer: Fixed a bug when using drag-n-drop to replace the track in the current deck (in standard output mode) where it would not update the standard view player (non-mixer view).
Mixer: Gain knobs better convey 100% setting is the center position.
Mixer: Redesign pitch sliders with easier to understand coarse and fine controls (+/-12% and +/-100%). The coarse pitch slider is also more responsive.
Mixer: Segue while in Mixer view clears right deck display faster before next song loads.
Mixer: The Next Deck now displays Break tracks correctly.
Mixer: When deck is paused, the wave viewer supports scrubbing audio with the mouse scroll wheel (Magic Trackpad two-finger scroll, or single-finger scroll on Magic Mouse). Makes it easy to cue to a beat with audible "analog" style feedback.
Mixer: While the deck is paused, the Spacebar shortcut for Cue/Play toggle will now toggle to Play rather than Cue.
Mixer: If left deck is in pause or cue mode, segue or advance no longer fails to toggle the time display mode to seconds.
Mixer: In all cases the actual bass and treble output is in sync with the knobs after drag-n-dropping a new track into a deck, or toggling Pitch Lock.
Mixer: In non-Discrete Output Mode, drag-n-drop a track into Left deck now honors Pitch Lock setting if previously enabled.
Mixer: The Pitch, Bass/Treble, and Gain controls can now be adjusted via two-finger trackpad scrolling (or the mouse scroll wheel) in addition to the normal click-drag method.
Mixer: Auto Volume Control now functions without needing to first click Segue, Start Playlist, or Advance.
Mood adjectives are now displayed in track info popups.
Network Sync feature now recognizes shared MegaSeg User Data folders by various mount points (not just full path from volume root). Now supports mounting user's home folder for example.
Network Sync: Suppressed unnecessary logging of events toggle and restoring backup playlists during sync operations.
Note Request display window now has a scrollbar.
Playlists: Double-clicking a playlist now displays a "replace playlist?" warning dialog (if confirmation dialogs are enabled).
Playlists: Fixed a rare "FlipBytes" error when opening UTF-16 playlists that have odd length strings.
Playlists: Fixed an out of bounds error when using the Clear Red Play Marks playlist menu command while Break tracks are in the playlist.
Playlists: no longer loses selection if focus is lost and regained.
Playlists: Now supports #EXTINF metadata for artist - title info in .m3u files.
Playlists: Option-Double click now moves a track to the bottom of the playlist instead of removing it.
Playlists: The playlist can now be scrolled while dragging using vari-speed depending on distance the drag is held from top/bottom edge of playlist.
Playlists: The playlist's selection time display (bottom of playlist) now updates while dragging a track over each row so you can see the exact time you place a track before dropping it.
Preferences: Renamed "Automatic Gain Control" to "Automatic Volume Control".
Rules: Fixed a bug that could cause 12PM hour tracks from not registering artist separations when using a 24-hour clock format.
Rules: Fixed a bug where tracks without categories set would not be flagged when rules were set to warn instead of automatically enforce.
Rules: Fixed a bug with Replace With Same Category option that could cause track duplications during reconciliation within a category rotation in certain rare cases.
Rules: Move Track Down Playlist option allows more breathing room for multiple tracks to break the rules.
Rules: Replace with same category now reconciles tracks within a range of positions within category (2%-15% of category positions). Previous versions reconciled to a fixed position each time which could contribute to artist clogs.
Rules: When a track has multiple categories assigned, the "Replace with same category" rule now honors the original category used from a scheduled playlists or Insert Category event (rather than pick from the first category listed alphabetically).
Rules: When using Move Track Down Playlist option, and playlist is set to reload, in cases where it needs to extended the playlist, it no longer causes the playlist view to toggle its visibility.
Rules: Warning popup help tags are less verbose.
Scan For Missing Files code optimized, and updates FileIDs for files found in a new folder location (pointed to by user via Missing File dialog).
Scan For Missing Files no longer calls GetFileIDs for potentially missing files which could cache an invalid VolumeSupportsFileIDs = true.
Scheduler is much faster to display when it needs to refresh the category list and save the library due to major optimizations, especially with large libraries and category lists.
Scheduler: Added check for duplicates within same category when shoeboxes are scanned and refreshed.
Scheduler: Adding, renaming, and removing categories (and importing if new track adds a category) no longer causes Scheduler's category shoeboxes to be reshuffled or reset.
Scheduler: Fixed an issue that could cause a non-saved Scheduled Playlist from being lost when quitting MegaSeg. Revised Save warning dialog.
Scheduler: Fixed an issue where deleting, renaming, or importing tracks could cause the rotation cache to be corrupt, and cause a reshuffle of the category when relaunching MegaSeg. There are no more known issues with keeping track of rotation order (most rested tracks) between launches.
Scheduler: If a playlist schedule is set to loop, or load another playlist, or an AppleEvent loads a playlist, it no longer causes the playlist viewer to toggle its visibility. Also fixed a bug where selecting another playlist to view would break the loop or cause the selected playlist to load instead.
Scheduler: Opening a new playlist properly resets the Loop Playlist and Load Playlist options.
Scheduler: Opening previously saved playlists from the main interface no longer includes an extra "/" line at the bottom.
Scheduler: Randomizing of tracks in a category now includes an artist separation dithering function, where it attempts to more evenly distribute tracks by the same artist within a category after it has been reshuffled.
Scheduler: Schedule Now button no longer toggles the Playlist browser display each time.
Search engine now matches non-accented and accented characters. (ô = ö = õ = o)
Search: Fixed a bug where if the Playlist viewer was displayed and clicking the Search field to start typing would cause it to loose focus and require clicking Search again (in cases where the Category browser was previous displayed).
Search box now displays Search prompt correctly after long search string was previously entered and cleared.
Search box updates correctly when you paste or cut text.
Sparkle: Fixed an issue with older Mac OS X 10.3.9 systems where MegaSeg could crash at startup due to Sparkle bug.
Sparkle: Now checks for updates while running (not just at startup).
Sparkle: Updated to the latest Sparkle auto-update implementation.
Startup's Priming Audio does not slow down if media files are missing or offline.
Streaming audio now pre-buffers before transitioning from current track. And streaming tracks now fade-in, regardless of global fade-in setting.
Streaming: Live stream playback is more stable for users of Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" (10.6.x), with no clicks that can occur with Mac OS X 10.5 or older. Update to OS X 10.6 for better stream support.
Streaming: The stream stall error reports now include the stream's title.
Track Popups now include the album cover art if available.
Track Popups: Snazzy new popup info boxes that follow the mouse, and displays easier to read (less verbose) track info.
Video: The video screen no longer displays blue until first video is played.
Video menu: Fixed bug where if video window is closed with the Escape key, pressing Command-0 thru 4 failed to reopen the video window (if a video is playing in the current deck).
VU Meter frame rate improved with tweaked design.
Many other detailed interface improvements.

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.1 (Dec 1, 2009)

Events: Fixed an issue when using the Insert Playlist event that would sometimes insert a wrong playlist.
Events: Fixed a display issue with Select Time/Date dialog. (This also fixes an intermittent crash that could occur.)
Events: Insert Track event no longer relies on the search box, causing visual interruption to the library or saved playlists view. This also fixes an issue where it would intermittently leave the search display in an odd state (with search results for the text "search"), and possibly insert the wrong track on a rare occasion.
Events: Insert URL Track or Stream event dialog's pre-download option was moved to the Time of Event dialog that follows it, under the options section. This solves a problem where sometimes you could not adjust the pre-download setting after the re-ordered dialogs in version 5.0. Note pre-downloading is only supported for non-streaming URLS using the Time/Date, Minutes Past Hour, or Every X Minutes event triggers.
Fixed a maloc double free object error.
Fixed an issue where UTF-8 text might not be interrupted correctly in the Event list or Log viewer.
Fixed console warning message regarding AutoRelease Pool.
Fixed issue with reading certain ID3 comments fields incorrectly, and added safety filter to truncate excessively long tags.
Fixed warning in console referring to NSDocumentController and CFBundleTypeRole. Role is now defined as Editor.
Hot Keys: No longer has a playback delay when using an external audio device (e.g. iMic) and a hot key is not used for over 30 seconds.
ID3 Tags: Added scan for corrupt ID3 tags in library which re-imports a corrected version of the tag automatically (this is checked once per version update).
ID3 Tags: Created a solution for ID3 tags that are labeled as a Latin-1 encoding but actually are Mac Roman or UTF-8, which would result in possible junk characters.
ID3 Tags: ID3 v2.4 relative volume tags (RVA2) are now properly supported.
ID3 Tags: If no TPE1 field is found ("Artist") then it will look for a TPE2 field ("Band/Orchestra"). Most often TPE1 are used for both bands or solo artists.
ID3 Tags: Improved reading of comment frames including better filters for skipping over iTunes data frames.
ID3 Tags: Fixed an ID3 v1.1 tag reading bug where it would include leftover text in a field.
Importing: Added additional checks to prevent importing apps and other bundles.
Importing: Added support and filters for new iTunes Media file structure.
Importing: Removes "m4v" extension from Filter Extensions import options preference. This is a one-time removal for previous versions that had this set as a default. You can add this back if you do not want MegaSeg to import music videos with the m4v extension.
Keep Drive Spinning code now ignores when a Time Capsule is mounted for a Time Machine backup, which should prevent delays.
Known Issue: The infra-red Apple Remote does not function in "exclusive mode" with Mac OS X 10.6.0 through 10.6.1 (this means iTunes starts and stops in unison with MegaSeg). Apple fixed this problem in the 10.6.2 update released on 11/9/09.
Library and Playlist displays now draw the last partial row instead of a blank black background when list is at odd heights (not divisible by row height). Clicking this partial row will cause it to autoscroll into full view and be selected.
Limited display of single-line notes to 128 characters (affects track info popups and log files).
Logging: The RecentlyPlayed log file can now output the last 30 tracks when using a custom template.
MIDI: Fixed an issue when in Discrete Output Mode, sending a Preview command for either the left or right deck would cause it to swap outputs and display a preview volume knob.
Notes search results can be cleared using the "X" in the general search box.
Optimized logging code regarding notes/comments tag field.
Playback: Protected AAC files (.m4p extension files) no longer cause a delay and audio dropout the first time one is cued in the playlist. (This issue was recently introduced with a QuickTime, iTunes, or OS X update.)
Popup info display updates faster when mousing over multiple tracks.
Preferences: Clicking on the output settings popup menus no longer resets the Discrete Output Mode setting to the default each time.
Re-Import Tags correctly grabs the publisher tag.
Reading iTunes XML file to locate the Music Folder location is now UTF8 compatible.
Reading Notes/Comments from resources now bypass expensive search for missing files which could cause delays.
Rules: Optimized Artist Separation and Previous Day/Hour code. No longer parses massive strings which could cause dropouts if log files are corrupted with junk tag data.
Search: Fixed issue where category browser display will be shown after clearing a search even in cases where it was not displayed before starting the search.
Segue: Fixed a bug where if you click Segue quickly in succession to skip a song that just started, it would not fadeout and continue to play in the background. (This issue only happened when the Fade-Out Time setting was set longer than 0 seconds, and you clicked Segue twice within the Fade-In Time period.)
Segue: Fixed an issue where if you start a track playing on the left deck, and then stop the playlist (Command-G or Stop Playlist button), then re-start the left deck clicking the deck's Play button, then click Segue or Start Playlist, the song that was playing would not fade out and continue to play.
Segue: If a long Fade-In Time preference is set (longer than 0 seconds), and you click Segue to start a new song before it completed a fade-in, the audio level no longer jumps to full volume to start the fade-out. The fade-out starts at the current fade-in volume.
There is no longer a delay when cueing the first track after launching MegaSeg.
You can now preview streaming URL tracks from the Library without getting a "missing file" error. (Note streaming URL tracks are not currently routable to outputs other than the default system output as set in the System Preferences.)

New in MegaSeg Pro 5.0 (Aug 4, 2009)

Features and Improvements:
New Animated Interface design featuring fading windows and dialogs for a smoother experience, an animated toggle of Mixer, Library, Open Playlist, and Folders views, and design tweaks to all graphics.
Mixer: The Crossfader can now be controlled using “two-finger multitouch scrolling” via the MacBook and MacBook Pro trackpad.
A Denon DN-HC4500 MIDI controller preset, which includes support for its LED-backlit buttons and VFD digital display readout.
Redesigned Open Playlist dialog integrated into Library view, and shows both MegaSeg and iTunes playlists at once for less confusing access. Also moved the Playlists button to the left side, and removed the Remove button. (Use the Delete key to remove selected files from the Library).
All transport and timeline controls show playback position as a more visible progress bar within the transport.
Added an Insert Break button to the main interface for inserting a break track into the next position of the playlist. This will wait for a manual segue or advance while in AutoSeg mode. Pressing the Option key while clicking will insert a break into the selected position.
Preview player now has a BPM display and a Set BPM button.
Added Video menu options for Full Screen (Stretched) and Full Screen (Zoom Crop) options in addition to the standard Full Screen (Letterbox) mode.
Decks: Added keyboard shortcut "B" for a turntable break effect, which works when a deck has the focus.
Events: Added "Import Files" event type which can be set to import a specific folder or from iTunes and assign a specific category.
Events: Streaming: Added support for live streams using the Insert URL event.
Playlists: Streaming: Added additional support for playing live streams via playlist files if it contains a URL to a live stream using HTTP on any port other than 80/8080, or a URL using ICY protocol. The pre-download file behavior (for podcasts, ad server, etc.) is still supported via HTTP on port 80 or 8080.
Events/Logging: New event to enable or disable network logging to Live365 or SHOUTcast. This allows you to control what times of the day you want track info sent.
Implemented the Sparkle update framework for easy downloading and installing new versions of MegaSeg. This will check our server at startup for updates, or by using the Check For Updates command in the Help menu.
Live streaming QuickTime .mov files now play correctly. You can now use QuickTime Player Pro to open a URL live stream, save as a .mov, and import it into MegaSeg. Then either put the mov streaming track into a playlist, or use Events to trigger when to start it, and when to stop it with another track. Live Streaming tracks will play until manually stopped or an Event with the Interrupt option used to stop the feed (or alternatively edit the End Time in the Edit Media dialog).
Logging: Added "last play date" option tag to logging template file.
Streaming, Edit Media: You can now set a duration for a stream (aka Segue Time), if you'd like it to AutoSeg after a certain duration, rather than rely on events to interrupt it. The "Native" length setting is the default, i.e. never-ending live stream.
Added ComingUp and RecentlyPlayed to HTTP commands. (http://localhost:42099/recentlyplayed). Also removed library password requirement for NowPlaying command.
Added .m4r (iTunes Ringtone) to the default list of extensions that are filtered when importing.
Added ability to type-to-select in Folders View.
All Video menu's video size settings are now remembered in preferences (not just Full Screen).
Ambient Playlist view now hides irrelevant widgets above playlist.
Closing the MIDI Settings dialog now returns you to the main preferences window.
Drag-n-Drop: Fixed a bug when dragging tracks from iTunes to support multiple multiple selected tracks during a single drag event.
Import: Scan iTunes Folder options now skips files inside the Movies and TV Shows sub-folders.
BPM Tapper lists 17 taps and no longer displays the "safety" dialog stating that the new BPM was saved. Instead a One Moment dialog appears for a minimum of 1.5 seconds blocking any accidental extra mouse clicks or spacebar taps.
Import AAC Tags: .m4v files now import with all metadata.
Preview: When in Discrete Output Mode and both decks are set to the same output device, Preview will no longer use Split Stereo Mode.
Edit Categories: Now supports multiple selection when renaming categories to merge them.
Edit dialog now defaults to not renaming files for new users.
Edit Media: Streaming URLs no longer have an input mask set for the End Time (Segue Time) field. You can now enter larger minute amounts such as "180:00.00" for 3 hours (180 minutes).
Edit Media: You can now edit missing files as well as streaming URL tracks to change their title as it will appear for net logging and NowPlaying, etc. (Non-streaming files still warn of a missing file but allows the Edit window to display afterward.)
Edit window: Pressing the Intro Time play button works correctly with intros set to over 99 seconds.
Enlightened all quotes and apostrophes in dialogs.
Events: After adding a new event, the event is now highlighted and scrolled into view in the Events List.
Events: All events that load playlists now bypass the playlist view dialog avoiding the need to display iTunes playlist which can cause delays.
Events: Revised Add Event dialog replacing the Add Event button with a New Event pop-up menu to select event type first, which simplifies the dialog and allow for future expansion.
Events: Set Time/Date dialog is now displayed as a sheet, and pressing A or P keys will toggle AM/PM for time field.
Fixed tab order for many controls and fixed tab flashing bug in main window.
Help: Keyboard shortcuts window now uses standard system font for better legibility.
Hot Keys: Using the left single-quote/tilde key (~) shortcut to trigger a Hot Key now works with the Open Playlist and Log windows open.
ID3: If a BPM value is over 1000, then it is assumed to be a value divided by 100 for decimal precision.
If BPM value is not available, "0.0 bpm" is no longer displayed in the main player (non-mixer view).
Importing AAC files saved or exported from some audio editing applications now works correctly.
Importing: Now filters .itc files (iTunes Cover Flow Data).
Importing: If a UniqueID tag already exists in a file, it will be restored regardless if the Use MegaSeg Tags option is disabled.
Importing: Quickscan for missing files before import dialog is faster and displays progress by percentage.
Importing: When the import option "Use ID3 Genre as Category" is not checked, and the Import Category is set to "Uncategorized", the track's category field is now blank instead of being assigned "Uncategorized". If you find you have an "Uncategorized" category listed alphabetically in your category list, you should remove it using the Edit Categories dialog. This will merge the tracks with the others that are truly uncategorized (i.e. has no category set), which can be selected from the top of the category list.
In Edit Media dialog, if duration is longer than 999 minutes, it will turn off the input field mask, allowing easier data entry.
Interface: Standard listboxs use lighter highlight color when it does not have focus.
iTunes Playlists: Should no longer display an error accessing iTunes Playlists when your iTunes Library is not in the default location. However you must tell MegaSeg where your new iTunes import location is in the Import Options dialog, as it will use this as a hint to locate the iTunes Library.xml file. If the XML file is not found there, it will revert to searching the default location.
Log window can be toggled on/off with Log button or menu command.
Log window: Added UniqueID column which allows MegaSeg to ensure a track dragged from the Log window into a playlist is referenced correctly (not just rely on title/artist or path, both which could change since the log was created.)
Logging: In NowPlaying, RecentlyPlayed, and ComingUp template files, added a tag for , which is an ID given to all tracks during import into MegaSeg's library.
Logging: When using a NowPlaying.html template, the tag now works correctly.
MegaSeg is now "Code Signed", which means you only need to confirm the FireWall security dialogs once, instead of every launch.
Menus: Added Remove File command to File menu (Command-Delete). This was always a shortcut but was not in the menus.
MIDI: Added support for high-precision (14-bit) Pitch Wheel MIDI signals to be processed (MIDI Status 224-239 or Hex E0-EF).
MIDI: Added triggers for Time Display Toggle and AutoSeg Mode Toggle, as well as preference to use 64 as the starting speed for the Jog Wheel.
MIDI: Now auto detects the name of a known controllers and sets it to the correct preset under MIDI Settings dialog. It will not do this however if the "Custom" preset was last selected.
Mixer: Clicking the Search BPM button uses the adjusted BPM value rather than the default value (taking pitch/speed into account).
Open Playlist dialog no longer displays non-imported tracks in red and no longer prevents them from being dragged into the main Playlist. You can now drag any tracks from the iTunes playlist that have yet to be imported into the main playlist and it will import on the fly. If the path to the non-imported track is missing, it will appear red and alert it was not able to locate the file when dropped in the playlist.
Opening the Select/Edit Categories dialog no longer closes the category browser in the Library display.
Optimized overall CPU usage.
Preferences: In/Output settings now use CoreAudio to list available devices instead of the SoundManager. The popup menus now update to show new devices added or removed without needing to restart MegaSeg.
Preferences: When preferred sound out devices are temporarily not available, it no longer overwrites the saved preference with the temporary output device.
Removed .m4v from the default list of extensions that are filtered when importing. (iTunes now sells DRM-free music videos that play in MegaSeg.)
Removed code that ensures hardware play-thru is turned off when MegaSeg launches, due to the fact MegaSeg no longer uses hardware play-thru for Mic On/Off function.
Removed most of the center buttons between the Library and Playlist from the interface for a clean fresh look. (These were a holdover from before drag-n-drop, and redundant.) The Next, Add, and Add All remain as hidden rollovers. Note all these button functions can be triggered various other ways (drag-n-drop, double-click, command-right arrow keys, option-right arrow keys.)
Removing an empty category no longer closes the category browser.
Save Playlist dialog's filename field no longer locks up when you enter more than 31 characters for the playlist name, and now supports long filenames.
Scheduler: Supports type-to-select in category list.
Show History command now includes the log files inside the Archived Logs folder.
Added network preference to enable HTTP commands. (Defaults off for new users.)
The "One Moment" dialogs now only display if processing takes longer than half a second or so. (No longer flashes for 1/10th of a second for various functions.)
Updated font for current song's remaining time display (non-mixer view).
Video: Interlaced video formats are now de-interlaced on playback.
Library Tools: Refresh Play Counts command no longer supports older version 1.0 - 2.7 log files (pre-2005).
Other Bug Fixes:
A temporary movie file is no longer left in the Trash after restarting the computer.
Import: Drag-n-drop import progress window shows the correct number of files as they are imported.
After saving a playlist with the Save Playlist dialog, the Load Playlists display now refreshes with the new playlist if open.
Importing: When changing the Import Option "Use ID3 Genre as Category" it now properly refreshes the Import Category popup list to show either "Uncategorized" or "Same As ID3 Tag" without needing to click to select the list.
When opening a playlist with missing tracks, the missing file report correctly displays the playlist name.
Events: Option to have Mic Play-Thru toggle on/off now works correctly.
Events: Fixed a bug where if a slash is between the title and artist in the Insert Track event, it will still be able to find the track in the library.
Events: Fixed a bug where if you use the Insert Track button in the Scheduler one time, it causes the Event's Insert Track dialog to start using slashes between title/artist which caused it to fail to find the track when the event triggered.
Events: Fixed the Day View mode buttons that would not enable properly. You can now move forward and backward by date.
Events: When adding an Open Playlist event, pressing Cancel in the select playlist dialog does not add an incomplete event.
Events/Scheduler: Insert Category: If scheduling an empty category, it no longer inserts the first uncategorized track and instead reports an error.
Events/Scheduler: Insert Category: When a category does not exists, it no longer moves the last track in the playlist to the top after logging the error.
Fixed a BPM sorting bug that could cause delays if a BPM field has a value larger than 9999.
Fixed a bug if both decks are playing it no longer warns about replacing the track in the decks when opening the saved playlists view.
Fixed a bug that caused missing files on a PC formated drive (FAT-32, NTFS) to possibly get miss-linked to other random files.
Fixed a bug that prevented ampersands (&) from display correctly in the following places: Import Options iTunes import location, standard MegaSeg dialogs, and playlist name display above the Playlist.
Fixed memory leaks and slightly faster launch time.
ID3 Tags: Fixed a bug when reading v2.2 tag format files, where the Lyricist field could be read incorrectly, and cause the imported track to be corrupted and display with junk characters after restarting MegaSeg.
Import: Fixed a bug when the custom iTunes Import Folder Location preference was set to a folder on a non-Mac format drive (FAT32, NTFS), it could sometimes reset to a random folder.
Importing: Fixed a tag reading bug when importing QuickTime movie files with Unicode tags.
Importing: Now ignores "engitun" junk metadata in all frames, not just comments tag.
iTunes: Fixed a bug that prevented MegaSeg from working with iTunes Playlists on newer systems that use “iTunes Library.xml” instead of “iTunes Music Library.xml” for the iTunes shared database.
Library Tools: Refresh Play Count command now includes the Archived Logs folder, as well as matches tracks using the UniqueID field if available. This means that even if a track was edited to a slightly different title and artist, it can still match a previous play from older logs using the uniqueID.
Log: Clicking Segue on last file in playlist no longer logs a Break.
MegaSeg no longer searches for a global documents folder (root of drive) which could trump the User's documents folder if found (rare). You can of course still set the location of the MegaSeg User Data folder to anywhere you like.
Mixer Decks: Memory points can now be deleted without fail, and also fixed a bug that caused the first memory button to enable (light up even though not set) while setting or deleting other memory points.
Menubar: Fixed a bug where it would intermittently fail to draw the right side menu items (Clock, Spotlight, WiFi, etc.)
MIDI: Fixed a bug that would cause MIDI Status values of 128 or 143 not to be recognized as MIDI Off codes.
MIDI: Fixed various MIDI bugs that prevented the Denon HC4500 and some other controllers from working before.
MIDI: The routing for the right deck's five memory buttons are now correct.
MIDI: While in MIDI Learn Mode, pressing OK or the Close button properly exits MIDI Learn Mode and allows MIDI signals to be processed.
Mixer Decks: Fixed bug where after a drag-n-drop of a track into the Mixer, double clicking the already selected deck did not edit the correct track until the 2nd try.
Playlists: Fix a rare possible problem that may cause your saved playlists to display un-sorted alphabetically.
Playlists: The list of playlist files is sorted correctly when using a non-Mac (FAT32) formated drive.
Playlists: The Open button in the playlist dialog now works even if the MegaSeg library is empty.
Preview: Volume knob now defaults to 100% (middle position) for new users.
Save Playlist: Fixed a bug that would allow a colon to be typed in the playlist name field (a non-valid filename character).
Show History: Fixed a bug that prevented the UniqueID field from being used to match tracks that had their title or artist fields renamed.
When opening a playlist, if tracks need to be auto-imported, it now shows the current number of tracks imported instead of the total number of tracks in the library.
Playlist: Inserting a track correctly updates the cue count display.

New in MegaSeg Pro 4.5.1 (Jul 12, 2008)

Unified dialogs and windows with a blue background for more consistent look.
Preview: Split-stereo preview mode works again when using the same output for Playlist and Preview/Cue.
Optimized library display's track selection responsiveness, especially when the list is large.
MIDI: Fixed a bug that prevented the default MIDI preset (Hercules RMX) from functioning unless you first selected another preset and switched back.
MIDI Control Codes dialog's checkbox options now resize with window correctly.
Logs: Opening the Logs window should no longer cause a dropout.
Logs: MegaSeg now automatically moves log files older than 6 months into an Archived Logs sub-folder within the Logs folder.
Logs: At startup it no longer logs opening the MegaSeg Events Backup file.
Known Issue: When using output channels other than 1 2, playing a single-channel mono file will not route correctly, and default to channels 1 2 on a mutli-channel device. The workaround is to convert single-channel mono files to 2-channel mono (i.e. a stereo file with the original mono audio on both left right channels).
Keep All Drives Spinning code no longer affects server volumes.
Importing: Optimized ID3 tag reading code about 30-50%, even while Time Machine is performing a backup.
Importing: Optimized the iTunes Full-Scan and Import Folder functions. Scanning for new files is about 7x faster.
Importing while search results are displayed will update the search results post-import.
Import progress dialog got a makeover, with a nicer progress bar.
Hot Keys: List selection can be used for library functions such as Edit, Preview, etc.
Fixed a error when opening playlists created with older versions of MegaSeg.
Fixed a bug that would prevent URL tracks created in the Scheduler from loading and playing.
Fixed a bug that could cause an error adding tracks to the playlist with a library of more than 100,000 tracks.
Export/Import Library As Text functions now include track color information.
Events: Resized the Events tab settings to better fill the available window space.
Events: Supports consolidating your Event List files inside an "Events" subfolder within the MegaSeg User Data folder. When starting this version, and you have files saved in the old location, it will ask if you want to move them into the new Events folder. Existing Load Event List events will still work without needing to be updated. However, if you switch back to an older version of MegaSeg, you will need to move the files back to the old location.
Events: Open/Save Event List dialogs will now default to the new "Events" sub-folder if it exists within the MegaSeg User Data folder. Current event lists will continue to work with the full path data, if you choose to not use the new Events sub-folder. Newly created "Load Event List" events that are selected from within the new "Events" folder, will show only the filename in the event list (not the full path) to make it easier to view. You can also edit your existing Load Event List events to remove the path and leave just the filename (note this is not backward compatible with older versions of MegaSeg).
Events: Missing file errors now report the name of the missing Event List file in the logs.
Events: Fixed an issue that could cause unexpected results when using the Load Event List event to cycle between multiple event lists, and two consecutive event lists also contain "Before/After Category" or "Every X Segues" event triggers. It will no longer execute those events in the newly loaded event list until after the next segue has occurred.
Events: Fixed a rare bug that could cause "After Category" events that are set to insert after a category that starts with a number to be mistaken for a daily time event shortly after midnight.
Events: Fixed a bug in version 4.5 where the Set Time/Date dialog would not accept keystrokes to set the time field.
Events: The "Before Category" event now works correctly when using the Insert Track/Category functions. It no longer inserts the track before and after the trigger category.
Events: All "Load Event List" events are evaluated first, before any other time-based events, removing the possibility of them firing twice if other events exist with the same time in the newly loaded event list.
Added UniqueID to log file format, and added the ability for Play History reports to match tracks by UniqueID. This means if a track is renamed after playing it can still be mapped.
Updated the embedded PDF manual (rev3), available from the Help menu.
Other minor interface improvements.

New in MegaSeg Pro 4.5 (Jun 17, 2008)

Updated support for multiple audio output devices in the In/Output preferences.
You can now set the Playlist display rows independently from the Library display rows setting.
You can now drag-n-drop a track directly from iTunes into MegaSeg's Library, Playlist, or Decks.
You can now drag a track directly from the Mixer decks back into the playlist or into the Hot Keys window, etc.
Events: Added new Day View feature that allows you to view the current event list as scheduled. For example, if the current event list has events which are scheduled to trigger on a certain date, in Day View mode, they will only display the events that match the current day shown. Or if a repeating event such as "x minutes past hour" is set, it will display that event for each hour of the day.
Interface improvements including a new crossfader design in the Mixer view, default list view font size is now 13 point, and using a darker default background color for dialogs, lists, VUs, and mixer. The Open button has also been renamed "Playlists".
Added support for the Apple Remote. Play = Segue to Next Song, Play Held Down = Stop Playlist, Left/Right = Playlist Cue Position, Left/Right Held Down = FF/REW, Up/Down = Volume, Menu = AutoSeg toggle.
Redesigned the Set MIDI Control Codes dialog to use a listbox, as well as added more functions including discrete memory cue positions, loop in/out/exit, set cue, pitch return, mic on/off, master volume, and adjust playlist cue position.
MIDI: Added support for controllers that use different channels or MIDI Status commands, with an option to use or ignore specific channel data.
MIDI: Added presets for Behringer B-Control BCD-2000 & 3000, and the new Hercules DJ Console Rmx controllers.
Added new AppleScript functions to control playback, open playlists, and insert tracks.
Punctuation no longer interferes with type-to-select in the Library, as well as fixed a bug with type-to-select in the Playlist, where sometimes the selection would not be visible.
Pressing Set BPM on the right deck no longer resets the pitch to 0% (if changed), since the tapper can compensate for any speed adjustments.
Events: The Insert Randomized Playlist event no longer randomizes the entire playlist (both the existing and inserted portions together), and now only randomizes the inserted playlist as expected.
Events: Sorting the Event List by the time column now gives correct results (not alphanumeric). And if you drag to change the order of the events, and it was sorted by one of the columns, it now properly deselects the sort selection.
Shoutcast Logging: You can now enter two Shoutcast server URLs to send track data, each separated by a comma. (Same for the Username and Password fields, if different for each server).
Fixed a bug with Live365 and Shoutcast Now Playing info that prevented data from sending in certain cases. Shoutcast logging feature now sends data with user-agent set to "Mozilla/4.0" for better compatibility, and added a Username field for servers that require full username and password authorization.
Playlists: Added support for the .m3u playlist format (full path to file on a single line). Comment tags (#) are also ignored.
DAC-3 support: Optimized the responsiveness of the DAC-3 pitch sliders, and pressing the pitch bend buttons on both decks at the same time no longer mixes up the values of each deck's pitch.
DAC-3: Solved an pesky intermittent bug that caused the first button click to not respond after pressing a button on the opposing deck while the pitch controls were unmatched between the two.
The Mic On/Off button no longer causes a lockup on PPC-Macs running Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger).
In list views, the Time, BPM, and Play count fields now adjust with the font size setting (not fixed at 10 point).
Fixed an issue with Hot Keys were there would be an extra start delay if Hot Keys were not used in a while.
Optimized and added progress percentage to Remove Folders function.
In Discrete output mode, the Mixer's output device labels update in real-time when you change the output preferences.
In Edit Categories dialog, adding a new category is no longer truncated to the first 20 characters.
Fixed a bug when Enable Track Info Popups is checked, and clicking in the library or playlist can cause intermittent 1 or 2-second delays.
When in Manual mode, and the video menu's option set to "Open When Video Plays", the video window will now close when the track ends rather than wait for the next non-video track to start.
Fixed a delay when double clicking tracks from the library into the playlist.
Solved a memory leak with certain threads (used for downloading URL events, etc.)
Fixed the AutoSeg Trim function, which was failing due to changes in QuickTime that caused variations in the reported duration for many MP3 files. The AutoSeg Trim function has been adjusted to allow for duration inconsistencies.
Spotlight iTunes importing now uses file's creation date rather than last-used date to filter recently added tracks to import.
Playlists: Fixed a bug where if a track needs to be imported from a playlist, and that track appears in the playlist multiple times, it no longer creates duplicates of that track in the Library.
When editing two or more tracks from the playlist at once, and the selection includes some Break tracks, the track count reported is now correct, as well as fixed an error if you try to edit two or more Break tracks in the Playlist.
Fixed an error when trying to open a playlist and Prepend (prefix) it to the top of the existing playlist, when the existing playlist contains a Break track.
Changed a startup error message to correctly report if the drive is full and MegaSeg can not write to the MegaSeg User Data folder.
If there are missing tracks in a playlist, the playlist name is now displayed in the report.
Fixed a bug in ID3 tag reading code that could sometimes leave an extra null character at the end of a field.
Video: Fixed a bug when Hide Menu When Full Screen is checked, and the video window is set to "Always Closed", it would hide the menubar even when the video window is hidden.
Video window's vertical size is now correct for movies.
Edit window: Clicking Set button for End Time (segue) no longer subtracts .2 seconds from the time.
Importing: Fixed a tag reading bug when importing Karaoke files that were encoded in QuickTime MOV format.
Search field now shows its "Search" text hint at startup, and consistently when switching into browse category mode, etc.
Other minor interface revisions.

New in MegaSeg Pro 4.1 (Apr 12, 2008)

Compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. (MegaSeg now requires a minimum of Mac OS X 10.3.9)
New pitch control buttons in the Mixer.
Improved Pitch Lock (aka Master Tempo) playback quality.
Revised Open Playlist dialog with a cleaner look.
Events and Scheduler: Added a new 'Insert URL' feature which can download audio files from a web server and insert them into the playlist. Tracks inserted are assigned a category of "URLevents" to allow filtering of now playing data if desired.
DAC3: Next Deck's Load button now works for selected track in Library or Playlist.
MIDI: Added a command trigger for the general Preview button.
Mixer display status is remembered between sessions.
Importing: Added support for Composer, Lyricist, and Publisher ID3 tags. Use Re-import ID3 tags function in Library Tools menu to import them from files already in library.
Importing: Fixed an ID3 import bug that caused some tags to have odd suffixes like "TPE" "TOAL", "engiTun", etc, and fixed a bug with Genre tag that would omit a space between genres like "Classic Rock".
Importing: ID3 tags not in Unicode format are now properly read as Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). International characters should display correctly in all cases.
Importing: If a Genre tag is extra long (30 characters), MegaSeg will no longer ignore it.
If Nicecast is running, MegaSeg now creates a Nicecast folder in the Application Support folder to update its Now Playing data in cases where Nicecast input is set to an analog source.
Added ability to use "http://" URLs as a file location path in playlist files. No other information is required for the record -- but Title and Artist fields will be displayed in the playlist if available until trumped by the downloaded audio file's metadata when cued in the Next position.
Added warning dialog to download an update if QuickTime 7.1.3 or older is installed.
Changed MegaSeg's NowPlaying output location to the User's Application Support folder, rather than the global one. This change does not affect giving data to Nicecast.
Events: Disabled the "Playlist is empty" dialog if an event opens an empty playlist and tries to auto-start it, which could cause events to stop working.
Events: Open Event List event now reports an error if a file is missing.
Events: Opening event lists are now logged.
Events: The first Every X Tracks Played event no longer triggers immediately after launching MegaSeg.
Events: When inserting a track with the Every X Tracks Played event type, it no longer advances the track count with the inserted track.
Fixed a bug with certain versions of QuickTime, when using Preview or Hot Keys, certain tracks would skip to the end of the track when played.
Fixed a bug that could cause a rare error when clicking the Import button.
Fixed a bug that would cause MegaSeg and the WindowServer to use 4x CPU power if the Hide Interface Buttons option was used (specifically the Master Volume control).

Fixed a possible error when the iTunes Music Folder could not be found.
Fixed a problem if CoreMIDI fails to initialize on launch, it won't prevent MegaSeg from running.
Fixed a bug that prevented Option-Command-/ (forward slash) or Option-Command-Space from triggering the Seg&Set function. Note, for Command-Space or Option-Command-Space to work, you must disable the Spotlight shortcut and/or Switch Keyboard Layout shortcut in the System Preferences.
Importing now ignores all aliases and .plist files.
Library Tools: Reimport ID3/AAC metadata function updated to work only on tracks displayed in the current library view. This means you can limit it to specific search results, or a category, etc.
Menus: Start-Stop Playlist menu command's keyboard shortcut is now Option-Command-G (instead of Command-G which is too close to the often used Command-F for Find). Hint: You can customize any menu command shortcuts using the System Preferences Keyboard settings.
MIDI: Fixed an error with initializing MIDI on certain systems.
MIDI: The Hercules controller no longer causes a crash if you press the right play button while a segue is in progress.
Open Playlist: No longer gives a misleading error message if it fails to load the iTunes library.
Opening an iTunes Playlist with tracks not already imported no longer fails to auto-import the tracks when opened.
Playlist format can now accept Unix Shell paths to files names in the Location field (along with URL or standard Mac path).
When the Open Playlist dialog performs an auto-import of tracks not yet imported, the progress dialog no longer flickers.
Renamed everything related to "Record Label" in library and database to "Publisher" to match ID3 tag terminology. This also affects NowPlaying template files that use the placeholder , which is now
Scheduler: Fixed a potential bug where the rotation count and rotation shoebox could get out of sync with the category list when sorting.
Logging: Optmized code, and shoutcast current song data is now sent correctly.
Various other interface improvements including larger Category Settings dialog in the Scheduler, revised Help menu, revised missing tracks report, and adjustments to Ambient Playlist's and Scheduler's listbox column widths.
