Release History
————————————
1.9.38.105 19-Sep-2008
———————-
* Options are now in their own separate window. Simply click the “Show Options” to access them.
* Songs from the created playlist must now be right-click-dragged out of the playlist area. This fixes a potentially disastrous situation where songs dragged to another location would be moved instead of copied.This also now fixes the locking up issue with Nero Burning Rom.
* Fixed Excluded keyword logic
* Removed the Randomize Playlist only option.
1.9.36.100 29-Jan-2008
———————-
+ Added a redundancy option to have it affect the Must Have List
1.9.36.99 28-Jan-2008
———————
+ Added the ability to drag and drop .m3u files onto both BlackList or Must-Have List
* Adjusted the way Random MixTape Maker reads ID3 info. (It now reads from ID3v2->ID3v1. It used to read from ID3v1->ID3v2) This will ensure more complete info displayed and referenced from properly tagged files
* Fixed a startup issue when starting maximized did not fill the screen
correctly
* Adjusted the behavior of keyword checked options.
Only by checking ‘Use Keywords’ can the ‘Keyword Priority’ option be used. Only by checking ‘Use Keywords Exclusively’ can the ‘Keyword Options’ be used. Keyword entry fields are only active if one of the above keyword options is selected.
1.9.35.97 BETA 21-Jan-2008
————————–
* fixed broken “keyword priority” functionality and keyword usage in general
* fixed an issue when using linked songs would cause an error
1.9.34.96 BETA 21-Jan-2008
————————–
* fixed broken keyword searches and other problems (or not)
1.9.33.93 BETA 19-Jan-2008
————————–
+ Added a Tempo (BPM) filter option
+ Expanded the keyword searching option. It is now possible to search in all text tags, lyrics, artists, song titles and/or albums
* Lots of internal changes including complete re-writes of code. This release is therefore labeled as ‘beta’ until any/all broken bits are found and fixed
1.9.32.90 19-Jan-2008
———————
+ Added support for all you IPOD folks out there! (MPEG4 files)
1.8.31.85 23-Dec-2007
———————
* Fixed an issue when using Linked Files would cause a minor crash
1.8.30.82 16-Dec-2007
———————
+ Added a keyword priority search as an additional option in the keyword section. If used, your playlist will fill up like this:
1) songs in your must have list will be added
2) songs that ONLY match your keyword properties will be added
3) remaining time will be filled by normal random, user-defined methods
Keep in mind that this could drastically slow the overall process since it will go through each and every song thru your list (unless your list gets filled to your user-defined time/size limits) to try and find all matches for your keywords.
* Rewrote tons of internal code to make this as streamlined as possible. Because of this, be wary of potential bugs that may arise. I need feedback if any bugs are found.
1.8.29.80 10-Dec-2007
———————
+ Added Auto Save-Prompt on Exit option to remind you to save your playlist if you hastily close the application.

* fixed keywording to properly support all supported filetype tags.
1.7.25.69 02-Dec-2007
———————

1.0.6.60 26-Sep-2006
——————–
* Fixed a crash that was caused when using the Must-Have list and linked songs

1.0.6.58 19-Sep-2006

finished
1.0.5.44 21-July-2006
——————–
+ improved the keyword search function to allow excluded terms. an excluded term must be preceded by a “-“. an example keyword search using both inclusive and exclusionary terms: love,-hate,peace,-war
* improved the stop button from needing to re-search your chosen directories once it’s already searched through them. rmtm will now only perform another
search if the initial search was stopped or if you choose another base directory. this will improve playlist building time if you click ‘stop’ while the playlist is being populated.
* the keyword options (except for exact search) are now greyed during a search/create session to avoid making changes in the middle of a playlist creation.
* other minor fixes
1.0.5.42 20-July-2006
——————–
+ added much more flexibility to the keyword search function you can now not only incorporate or use exclusively user-defined keywords, but you can define either to abide by or ignore the global ID limit rules. also added an exact match to avoid false positives (i.e. when using keyword ‘love’ you could get a hit from the word ‘lovely’ etc) you may not want the exact match feature, in which case you can just leave it unchecked.
1.0.4.40 19-July-2006
——————–
+ added a multiple keyword search (comma delimited) function which allows you to either:
a) allow songs or filenames that would otherwise be overlooked due to other ID limitations such as genre or year.
b) exclusively include only songs or filenames that match your keywords
NOTE: if you enable the Must Have List and Exclusive Keyword criteria, your list will be filled in with the Must Have files THEN filled by your keyword matching songs. if you do not want the Must Have entries in your list, then simply disable the Must Have List.
1.0.4.38 03-May-2006
——————–
* improved list building performance when scanning MP3 files
1.0.4.37 02-May-2006
——————–
+ added preliminary support for alternative type (non MP3) files tag reading. (once again, I don’t have a lot of these files to test with. so feedback would be nice)
+ added checkbox option to allow non-tagged files to be included in searches where an ID limit has been used (i.e. Year or Genre) This really should only be used if you’re searching a directory where you know you want to include some non-tagged files. Otherwise you may just end up with a bunch of files that completely throw off your Year and Genre parameters.
* fixed a performance issue when building a list with time and song length parameters checked.
* other minor tweaks and adjustments
1.0.4.36 01-May-2006
——————–
+ added support to add other file formats to your playlist. currently, allowed formats are: AAC, AC3, FLAC, APE, MP3, OGG, VQF, WAV, and WMA
In this build, it is only possible to use tag limitations such as Genre and Year with MP3 files. I plan on making it possible to use tag limitations for use with other formats that support tags if it is possible to do so.
1.0.3.32 30-Apr-2006
——————–
* fixed a bug introduced in v1.0.3.30, where stopping the search process while building your list with the Must Have list enabled would clear the list when it should have left you with at least a partial list.
