CoolPlayer 209 is out!

Barely two days after the last release (207), Niek Albers and Marcus Platts have put out CoolPlayer 208. Not sure whether this is a case of "Oops, we didn't test the last one enough," or "Now that we've forced people to remember we exist...," but either way users should be aware of this update.

From the changelog;
+ Fixed minimise and maximise on playlist
+ Added support for ID3v2 (read and write)
+ Fixed systray tooltip icon not showing artist and song title
+ Fixed some memory bugs (would have shown up as occasional crashes during closedown)
+ Fixed problem resizing the last column
+ Added background load of ID3 tags (this will prevent the delays on loading huge playlists)
+ Added track length to playlist - right hand click in the track's "Length" column to (re)calculate (these are stored in the ID3v2 tag)
+ Fixed track stack advancing over the next song if you remove the current song from the playlist
+ Fixed the volume setting to 100% at the start of every song (affected only a few soundcard/driver combinations)
+ Fixed occasional POP between songs (in OGG and MP3)

I'm running CP 2.05, but it looks like it's time to update.

This new software is cool. The systray icon is soo wicked!!
It spins like a wheel, and the internal volume feature is a great addition.
