SoundMaven 0.8 beta released today. Although this is not a major release, it contains several useful improvements and vital bug fixes. As we already mentioned earlier, a fully functional mp3 tagger (as well as some usage guide) will be included in version 1.0, which we’re hoping to release this summer.

Version 0.8:

• Improved GUI.
• Top lists from several music publications (XML).
• “Auto Rename Files” feature.
• Track description from Last.fm (when there is one).
• Proper links.
• Audio controls on all screens.
• Numerous bugs fixed… though there are still plenty of them. ;)

Download • Support development

Although it should work fine, we still consider this release a beta version. Feel free to post any ideas on how to further improve SoundMaven. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

Let me introduce our new project. Have you ever had files like “Unknown artist – unknown track.mp3″? SoundMaven can recognize music files by its content using an “acoustic fingerprint” technology or find missing tags, e.g. find an album title if only artist and track tags are present.

If the album title is known (or detected), SoundMaven will automatically download and display album art (currently from Amazon.com and Discogs).
