Mixtape Maker: Updates and Latest Beta Versions Here

<< < (5/15) > >>

Hi, I'm not sure this is correct, but I downloaded and tried the new Beta and it identified itself as the older stable version. I tried the wav feature and it was still not working. Is this correct or did I do something wrong? Thanks for your time.

download the attachment in this thread. i've uploaded yet another update too. but to directly answer your concern with wave files, i've tested with wave files and is all seemingly working now.

New Feature! Redundancy Limitations...
Redundancy
------------------------------------
So many songs and sometimes randomizing the placement of those songs seems a
bit unfair.  Even with all of the steps Random Mix Tape Maker takes to give
you a unique and blended playlist, you still may end up with a disproportional
amount of one artist in your created playlist.

In order to allow further variety in your playlist you can now specify the
number of times any one artist will be allowed to appear in your playlist.
In a new box labeled "Redundancy Limits", simply check the "Limit Artists..."
and specify the number of times you'd like to allow an artist to appear in
your playlist.

That's it! pretty easy, huh? :)

Here's some things you should know when using this function:

1) Your files MUST be properly tagged in order for this function to do anything
   worthwhile.

2) This does not employ the same technology as a the keyword function, it only
   looks inside of the file's tag for an artist name

3) The "Must-Have" list is also affected by this limitation.
   Consider the following scenario:

   Your "Must-Have" list contains 10 songs by Artist1
   You have limited the redundancy to 3

   Only 3 songs by Artist1 will be RANDOMLY added to your playlist.
   (it will not always be the same 3)

4) This does not alter the "Must-Have" list that you have created.

5) When used in conjunction with keywording AND you have both tagged and
   non-tagged files, you could still end up with more occurrences of an artist
   than the amount you have specified.  This is because where keywording will
   allow files that possess EITHER the keyword in the tag OR in the filename,
   the redundancy check will ONLY check the tag for an artist name.  There
   simply isn't any good way to create a one-size-fits-all rule to try and find
   an artist name from within the filename itself.

v1.8.26.72 released!

(yeah I know, just a day later... but i added some stuff, really!)

the first thing you might notice is that all the options on the main tab are gone!!

i really didn't want to get rid of them as i kind of liked the busy 'mixer-style' interface. but, the fact is, i plain ran out of room to add more options. so instead of just putting new options on their own section i decided to make a multi-tabbed option page that holds everything.  it has the added advantage of allowing more viewable space of the created playlist region. it may take some getting used to if you use this thing with any regularity, if anyone has any suggestions as far as a better workflow or design, then by all means share your ideas.

i also added a separate keywording option to search through (properly tagged files) lyrical content. is this censorship?!!?? could be, or you could also create the raunchiest mix EVER!!! ;)  the choice is yours :D

once again, enjoy and thank you for using Random Mixtape Maker!

Keywords (part 2... Lyrics!)
------------------------------------
If you have audio files that are properly tagged with lyrical content, you are
now able to include or exclude songs based on keywords.

Using the same method as above:

love,-hate,peace,-war

will allow songs containing the lyrics:
love
peace

and will exclude songs containing the lyrics:
hate
war

NOTE:
Songs that are allowed under the 'song keywords' option will be blocked
if excluded by the 'lyrics keywords' option.
