“AmpJuke 0.8.8 this is a maintenance release.”

AmpJuke 0.8.8 will act as your streaming server.

Besides music streaming AmpJuke 0.8.8 can fetch album covers/images/lyrics automatically using various webservices from last.fm, Bing! and other sources.

Scan+import tags from as many tracks you like, use the favorites as well as a bunch of other personal settings to customize the way AmpJuke 0.8.8 operates.

Changes Details

• Fixed a couple of issues that – under certain circumstances – could disrupt the installation process.
• New option to limit total number of outstanding/queued tracks for ALL users (applies only to “jukebox mode”).
  So far, this was a setting related to each user. It still exists.
• Added additional/new fingerprint parameters from The Echonest. Seems like these have been around for some time…
  …”thanks” for keeping us updated, Echonest!
  The new parameters introduced are: liveness, speechiness, acousticness and valence.
• Add new music found during scan+import to a specific favorite list.
  This option will – if checked (and it is by default) – add all new music found during scan+import to a specific favorite list.
  An additional option makes it possible to add the new music to a favorite list covering all users.
• Last.fm apparently made a decision to change the way performer/artist images are retrieved using the last.fm API.
  I’ve changed the code on “my side” of the API accordingly.
• GetID3() latest/newest version.

AmpJuke 0.8.7 this is a release with improvements in a lot of areas. 

AmpJuke will act as your streaming server. Besides music streaming AmpJuke can fetch album covers/images/lyrics automatically using various webservices from last.fm, Bing! and other sources.

Scan+import tags from as many tracks you like, use the favorites as well as a bunch of other personal settings to customize the way AmpJuke operates.

Changes Details

“Keep open” on pop-up

Used when selecting a favorite list to add something to. It’s possible to add to several favorite lists in one “go”.

Update: Echonest API

Identification of tracks is now being done using a “2 step” method: First, the track is uploaded, then identified. Until recently it was enough to upload the track, and the track’s “fingerprint” would be returned almost immediately. I missed that (missing) memo, Echonest!!

New feature

You might also like… When a user clicks on “Add to favorite…”, a window pops up prompting for the name of the list to add the track to.

If access to the Echonest API is enabled, some suggestions for similar tracks will appear below the prompt. See screenshot.

Advanced search

New or old method. Using advanced search can now be done using parameters (limits) retrieved and stored from the Echonest API.

For example, an advanced search could be done using “danceability”>0.7 and “tempo”>140. The possibilities are quite overwhelming… This – of course – requires access to the Echoest API as well as proper “fingerprinting” (identification) of a majority of the tracks in your collection.

It’s still possible to use the old advanced search functionality.

Last.fm API-key inconsistency

Embarassing, but true: I’ve been using TWO API-keys from Last.fm. One of them was for testing purposes, and has now expired. I’ve made sure that from now on, only ONE key is used against the last.fm API: The right one! Sorry for the inconvenience.

Plus Better “look & feel”.

For example: Tooltips are now much better compared to earlier. For example, do a “mouseover” on an album and see for yourself 🙂

Bonus

A *LOT* of small improvements here & there.
