DigitalCD 3.12, 2019-08-26

Changes:

• Player, restore old behaviour of playing next track when deleting current track.

Bug Fixes:

• Player, deleting the current track from a full screen plug-in (Delete key) crashes DigitalCD.
• List, one should not be able to insert tracks in a search results list.
• List, the presence of background jobs (like ‘Validate’) were stopping the distribution of Null events and preventing toolbars to be updated.
• List, add the pane flag to generated toolbars to prevent the list from being constantly brought to top while dragging the toolbar.
• List, copied/exported tracks were missing the original TimPlayer compatibility flags.
• List, play from the list caused another track than the selected one to be played if DigitalCD neede to change the ‘program mode’ to play it.
• List, creation of new playlist, new dirlist and new failed since a few versions.
• CDs, forgot to pass on the configured DiskSample options when playing a CD (CD_ReadAudio mode).
• CDs, player was reporting ‘No CD present in drive’ when it should report ‘Not an audio CD’ when a non-audio CD is present in the drive.
• DCDLib, window covering screen had auto redraw flag set which could lead to a brief flash of a white background before the plug-in redraws the screen.

Is it possible to show the “cover art” of a mp3-file in DigitalCD?

Is it possible to show the “cover art” of a mp3-file in DigitalCD?

No I just skip the ID3V2 metadata in DiskSample. I think AMPlayer could be configure to parse that info and an could be asked to return the data associated to a given tag but I don’t think I have ever seen anyone make use of it.

I must say supporting all those exotic text/image tags where never a priority.

No problem.
I have made a tool to write this to mp3. I like it if I use the files in my car.

For reference, our MusicMan 2 allows you to (web-search-for and) drag in a JPEG for album art when making MP3 or WAV files. This is embedded in the file and is shown when Windows Media Player (etc) play the file or parse a folder of files. Andre – if you’d like a copy to try, I’d be happy to send it over.

And for Windows I can heartily recommend MP3tag which is regularly updated.

MusikMan2 I have ;-)
Id3taged do the job better. Why I should use Windows. ;-)

Is there a *command to read either the running time or the bit rate of an mp3 file?

Only one of these is needed, since knowing the file length gives you the other one.

Incorrect – MP3s can be variable bitrate.

Not without a tool e.g. ffmpeg, fprobe, lame… DiscSample (? Not sure).
