What's new in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.6
Mar 28, 2011
- Fixed a problem introduced with iTunes 10.2 where iTunes handles picture files differently now.
- Slight performance increase in handling larger groups of files.
- Changed the warning dialog from over 500 music files to over 1000. Let me know if it's fast enough that I should increase that even more. It tends to slow down with more music selected.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.5.4.2 (Sep 18, 2009)
- The software itself wasn't changed, but some people had problems with the previous installer. The same version but with an improved installer.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.5.4 (Sep 17, 2009)
- Fixed another installer issue.
- Improved automated version checking. It should notify you if a new version is available.
- Removed extraneous debug messages.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.5.3 (Sep 17, 2009)
- Fixed the preferences to actually save what you choose.
- Rebuilt the installer from scratch. Hopefully this will end the occasional installation issue that has been reported.
- Improved handling for extended unicode characters in song names. If you get any errors related to accents or special characters, please take a screen shot and report it to me.
- Improved automated version checking. It should notify you if a new version is available.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.5.0 (Aug 18, 2009)
- Added support for Amazon's new Web Services. As of August 15 2009, any version of Fetch Art prior to 2.5.0 will stop working as Amazon changed how their servers worked. This requires encrypting part of the call, which does slow each call down a little bit over the previous version.
- Added more logic in constructing the query to Amazon to improve search accuracy and speed. It can often find album artwork now even if the album name is spelled wrong and it requires fewer calls to the server to find it.
- Added a debug logging mode. This mode is off by default, but when activated will save a detailed log that you can send to me for support if you are having problems.
- Added an option to turn off (it's off by default) extended searching. Previously Fetch Art would try to find art for any album even if it found the wrong art. Now that level of searching is off by default. It may not find as much are, but accuracy should improve. You can turn it back on in the preferences if you like.
- Added an automatic check for new versions.
- Improved error handling.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.1 (Aug 14, 2008)
- Modified the code to fix a bug introduced by Apple in iTunes 7.7.1. Now this works with iTunes 7.7.1.
- Added more logic in constructing the query to Amazon to improve search accuracy.
- Amazon changed some behaviors with empty keywords, I've eliminated the existence of empty keywords in the search.
- Prioritized album art so that it should find the correct album art before single releases. Earlier versions were returning singles based on track name instead of the album.
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 2.0 (Jun 25, 2008)
- Fixes for compatibility with Amazon's new search web service.
- Improvements in accuracy logic in searching for art.
- Added the option of skipping tracks that already have art
- Improved unicode/extended character support
- Removed dependency on Perl which has caused problems when Mac OS X updates change Perl
- Removed dependency on custom C application for image conversions which increased performance
- Added support for searches on Amazon Japan, France, and Canada as well as the ones previous versions supported which were US, UK, and Germany
New in Fetch Art for iTunes 1.4.0 (Mar 4, 2008)
