thanks for fixing the bugs. Could I have a bug fix release? I was in the middle of something and would like to complete it. I should have described the iTunes tag issue more clearly. The problem only occurs when you are using a program other than iTunes to the tagging. I use mp3Tag, since it is more flexible and I just don't trust iTunes. So, if you delete the comment field of a song using a 3rd party app and then go to iTunes and click on file properties, it won't get rid of the comment information although it is no longer part of the file's ID3 tag. If you however, just alter the comment tag (or album tag or whatever), iTunes does update its database. Therefore, iTunes will update its database as long as you add a previously non existing tag or alter an existing tag. But it won't remove any information from it's database and replace it with an empty string. Unless of course, you use iTunes to remove the information. Therefore, it would be nice to have an option that goes to the physical mp3 file and reads the ID3 tag and compares and possibly syncs it with iTunes database. Would such a feature be possible? I have been looking for ages to get rid of that bug. thanks Edit: Here are some more feature requests: Create a playlist in iTunes with all the songs that have no album art. Other criteria such as no lyrics etc. would be nice too. Fetch album art from amazon (since iTunes is broken) and maybe the same for lyrics.
