    Animated gif fixes:

    fixed the false positive "serious I/O Error! This is a significant hard drive problem" problems saw in last week's animated gif 'has transparency' rescanning. it turns out the PIL animated gif renderer we rarely use was raising overly serious errors on a truncated frame (i.e. some borked file, not a borked OS hard drive access), and this was escalating up to the overall maintenance system, which was shutting down in panic. truncated gifs in the PIL renderer should now just either render the last frame over and over or rewind as soon as they hit a super problem
    as well as rendering, the duration and frame-counter code also handles these borked frames better, so animated gifs that have a single borked frame should now A) import without an error and B) get more accurate frame counts
    you may have seen this sort of error before where an mpv window seems to keep rendering the gif despite the scanbar hitting its right end. if you see a file like that, try right-clicking and hitting manage->maintenance->regenerate file metadata. might just fix it up!
    if mpv encounters one of these busted gifs, a selection of quiet-but-spammy "I don't know what happened, but MPV just reported a weird error, here it is" logging no longer happens. we basically know what happened, and mpv seems good at recovering
    fixed some PIL alpha gif rendering on backwards seek and loop

    Slideshow tech:

    options->media has a new 'slideshow' section with five new options regarding slideshows and media with duration (video, audio). if you don't care too much, just leave them alone--they make slideshows transition better!
    first, there's a checkbox to say 'always play duration-having media completely once through before moving on'. this was the previous behaviour, now default off
    then there are two options, for a percentage of the current slideshow period and a flat seconds value, to say 'if the duration-having media is shorter than this amount of time, then move the slideshow on early'. this allows short gif loops to play a bit, but not for 15 minutes
    then there is an option, for a percentage of the current slideshow period, to say 'if the duration-having media has a duration between this amount and 100% of the slideshow period, then move on once it has played once through'. this allows for clean slideshow transitions for media that is just a bit shorter than the slideshow period
    then there is an option, again for a percentage of the slideshow period, to say 'if the duration-having media is longer than the slideshow period plus this amount of time, then delay moving on until it is played once through'. this allows 35 second videos to complete fully in a 30 second slideshow while stopping a ten minute vid hogging its turn
    completely rewrote the slideshow timer tech
    did a little work bringing the experimental Qt media player up to proper slideshow capability, and neatened the associated code
    yes, hydev did write all these options for his repurposed slideshow computer because he was annoyed about his vidya captures and 500ms loops playing jank on a 30m slideshow period

    Misc:

    the file-info-summary lines that appear in the top row thumbnail menu submenu now show if a file has audio/transparency/exif/other metadata/icc profile
    the file-info-summary lines that appear in the top row thumbnail menu submenu and the top-center of the media viewer no longer list 'removed from x 5 days ago' for files that were moved internally between local file services. these statements were spammy and not helpful! if you really need them, are available in the 'manage times' dialog. sorry for the annoyance here
    trying to move a file from local file service x to y no longer triggers the archive delete lock, if you have that enabled (this was prohibiting the delete from x after the copy to y is done)
    the 'import options' button now labels itself with 'all default', 'all set', or 'some set' to quick-review what it is holding
    the stupidly named advanced users' OR* button is now just advanced
    the 'manage->regenerate' thumbnail menu is now called 'maintenance', and it always contains the whole file maintenance job list just as it appears in the main file maintenance panel. tooltips are the longer descriptions
    if you reduce a static check time in a checker options (watchers or subscriptions), the next check time should now recalculate correctly immediately. previously, the new check period wasn't kicking in until the next, delayed cycle. I have preserved the logic that tries to keep a static check time regular (which was the core problem here), where if you check every 7 days on saturday night, then delaying one time and running it on sunday night won't delay the check time phase along to next sunday--the next week it will be due on saturday again
    the system:rating edit panel has some tooltips that say 'Set "is" and leave rating null to search for "unrated".'. maybe this is annoying, maybe I should just add redundant 'unrated' checkboxes, let me know what you think
    when the file maintenance routine runs into a serious error (like we had with the false positive transparent gifs), the popup messages now include a file button for the problem file for easy referral
    if a file breaks MPV in a crashy-looking way, hydrus now makes a popup with a file button to it for easy referral
    fixed a typo issue with the recent temp folder recovery code that broke the temp folder for file imports on the hydrus file repository. sorry for the trouble, this slipped through unit testing because that too has a hacky temp folder solution!

    Weird/specific stuff:

    I've spaced out many of the initial library loads across the core boot init routine. fingers crossed, the splash screen will open earlier and report more as things each import, rather than taking ages to appear and then suddenly initialising everything real quick (on slow computers). also, a monolithic UI init job is broken up into pieces, which should let the splash update itself a little smoother as your client loads its style and stuff
    the file and database maintenance managers are now initialised in a better stage, and, like the subscription manager, they now do not start any work until the first session is fully loaded
    while pouring over the server code trying to find a petition miscount bug and/or a petition summary fetch bug (which I was entirely unsuccessful at), I stopped it 404ing when there are unexpectedly no petitions to fetch--it should now just give an empty list and reset the count serverside, which is an old behaviour that wasn't working quite right in the modern system. this will cost less CPU than commanding the full service service_info number reset. I will have to investigate the core problem of miscounts more closely to figure out the base problem here
    if two subscription jobs publish files to the same popup label (which merges the popup button to include both sets of files), this file list is now properly deduplicated (so if both subs picked up the same file(s), it now won't try to publish the same file twice). the basic popup button instantiation also clears out dupes
    the 'additional tags'-only tag import options in a subscription query can now no longer be set 'default'. this choice was unintended and has no current meaning if set
    building on last week, there are even fewer duplicate menu tooltips
    updated and clarified the text in options->external programs. also, if you try to put a command that does not include "%path%", it'll moan at you with a yes/no dialog
    when 'confirm sending files to trash' is off but 'use advanced file delete dialog' is also on, the advanced file delete dialog will now not pop up if there is only one normal local file service to delete from (it was always popping up before, since it exposes the physical file delete options and the dialog thought it wasn't a 'one-choice' delete)
    the forced-wait throttle that happens on several exception catches is reduced from 1s to 200ms
    I made the new job status queue properly thread-safe with a lock. I forgot to do it last week, whoops!
    fixed the build script to construct a file named .tar.zst for the Ubuntu release, not .tar.gz

Changelog

    Ugoira/CBZ/Zip:

    the Ugoira/CBZ conversion last week went ok! we found too many false-positive Ugoiras, however, so I have decided to make that test stricter. Ugoiras now have to have zero-indexed filesnames, and always zero-filled to six digits. all your Ugoiras will get scanned again to see if they should better be CBZ
    all zip files that are not openable passworded, corrupt) are now detected early and just set as 'zip'

    OpenCV:

    after discussing it with users, I have made the decision to slowly remove the image library OpenCV from the program. it has served us well, but it has always been a difficult-to-install bloat, and the super-compatible PIL actually does the job better these days. we'll simplify our rendering pipeline while also, with luck, improving HDR format support in future
    thanks to a user, a critical OpenCV call involved in generating similar-files search metadata perceptual hashes DCT) is now replaced with non-OpenCV tech
    PIL can now load images in int32 or float32 greyscale, with or without ICC Profiles, and it shouldn't look too crazy OpenCV was handling these before)
    deleted all the old OpenCV gif rendering and metadata scanning tech
    if you would like to help test, please turn on options->media->IN TESTING: Load images with PIL. this used to be just a BUGFIX thing, but now it emulates where we actually want to end up. please send me any image files that render weird

    better boot error handling:

    if an error happens very early during boot, before the main Application event loop and splash screen are started, hydrus will now try and spin up a very small App and text dialog to show you the error visually! of course, if the error is Qt-related, then this won't work, ha ha ha, but you'll still always get the crash log
    the client will now boot if the 'already-running' file exists but is incomprehensible--it'll just log that it was. also, if any other problem occurs during the 'already-running' check, hydrus assumes it is not already running and prints the error to the log
    improved the 'can we write to the database folder?' test a little more. previously, if the db directory on boot was both missing and its parent was read-only, it would raise an error. now we correctly recognise that state as 'not writeable'
    also, the fallback to the userpath db directory now only happens if you do not set a -d/--db_dir launch parameter. if you specifically set a launch path and that place is missing or read only, the program will not boot! I am more comfortable doing this now that we have the dialog to better display what happened
    unified the 'what db dir are we using?' tests to one place
    also cleaned up some of the boot failure code, which was spamming things haphazardly
    string splitting and joining:
    the String Splitter and Joiner now interpret n in their splitter/joiner text as newline and other replacements like t for tab; anything python supports). in order to not break existing parsers, the old splitter and joiner strings will be encoded on update any will become \)
    added some unit tests to test this behaviour for both String Processor types

    misc:

    the system predicate parser is now plugged into the excellent dateparser library that we already use in downloader parsing. this thing can eat pretty much any date string you can throw at it, so if you type "system:archived time: since 01/05/2011" or "system:archived time: before 30 hours ago", it'll all work for almost any combination you can think of. it'll probably even work in your native language! the one big caveat is if you give a longer duration timestamp in the form 'x time units ago)', rather than a specific date, it'll convert it to days/hours, ignoring years and months. since this stuff causes a ton of headaches, I am likely going to switch all the time-delta time predicates here to work on days/hours/seconds, and if you want to put 60 or 365 days, knowing what inaccuracy that implies means, then you can, rather than have me continually fret over and fail to deliver various leap year calculation problems. calendarium delenda est
    fixed some thumbnail rendering for another class of damaged gif--this time, gifs that are so garbagified that they change their resolution from one frame to the next and/or produce a sizeless, shapeless frame of a handful of bytes. this is now detected and the bad data discarded!
    if a video seems to have 0/None duration, the main native ffmpeg renderer which is also used for thumbnail generation) can now handle it. the 'start x% in' value will be crazy, but it'll work
    fixed an error with mpv trying to inspect the duration of null media during various states of media viewer transition

    boring cleanup:

    gave a quick pass over the ~250 small 'just show some text and a system icon' dialogs work across the program. unified all calls through one location, improved some strings and string formatting, added more exception logging, unified the dialog titles, differentiated information/warning/critical flags better, made 'critical' messages log their titles and text, and made it all thread safe in a nice invisible way to callers
    fixed some borked page/popup permission checks in the client api
    if a file transitions from 'no transparency' to 'has transparency', the client will now queue a thumbnail regen, just in case that tech has been recently added
    improved the formatting of what the main error-logging method actually prints to the log
    slimmed down some of the watcher/subscription fixed-checking-time code
    misc formatting cleanup and surplus import clearout
    fixed the discord link in the PTR help document

Changelog

    Misc:

    Fixed, on a file drag and drop, the new export path eliding code from raising an error when the default export phrase would give an empty filename. e.g. if you set the export phrase as [title] and the file has no title. this no longer raises an error, and the fallback export phrase {hash} is again used instead. broadly speaking, most errors here are now handled better
    also, export folders will now fallback to using {hash} if their normal export filename raises an error
    holding down ctrl+shift+ while selecting thumbnails now does the same thing as a bare shift+ select. previously, it was unhelpfully interpreting this as a bare ctrl+ click
    I may have improved the stability of 'minimise to system tray'. this thing still hangs the UI for some users on a delayed restore, I do not for certain know why

Changelog

    Fixed the basic copy/paste in the single 'edit datetime' panel, wich was often raising a dumb error. this thing also now exports millisecond data (issue #1520)
    I am pretty sure I fixed the column-resizing problem in the very new PySide6 (Qt) 6.6.1, which it seems AUR users were recently updated to in an automatic OS update. all columns were setting to 100px width on initialisation. I think it is now safe to try out 6.6.1. I am still not sure why it was doing this, but some extra safeguards seem to have fixed it and also not broken things for <=6.6.0, so let me know what you run into! if you were affected by this, recall that you can right-click on any multi-column list header and say 'reset widths' to get something sensible back here
    When exporting files, the max size is now clipped another 84 characters (64 + 20 more, which usually ends up about 150 characters max for the output filename), in order to give padding for longer sidecar suffixes and also avoid going right to the filesystem limit, which broadly isn't sensible
    I think I fixed an issue where the mouse could stay hidden, perhaps, just on Wayland, after closing the media viewer with your keyboard (issue #1518)
    Fixed inc/dec ratings in the media viewer not updating their tooltips on new media correctly
    If you hit 'open this location' on the export files window and the location does not exist, you now get a nice messagebox rather than a semi-silent error

Changelog

    MacOS improvements:

    Thanks to a user, we have multiple improvements for macOS!
    There is a new icon for the macOS .app build of hydrus
    The macOS app will now appear as "Hydrus" in the menu bar instead of "Hydrus Network"
    Use the native global menu bar on macOS and some Linux desktop environments
    "options" will now appear as "Preferences..." and be under the Hydrus menu on macOS
    "exit" will now appear as "Quit Hydrus" and be under the Hydrus menu on macOS
    "exit and force shutdown maintenance", "restart", and "shortcuts" will now be under the Hydrus menu on macOS
    The hydrus system tray icon is now enabled for macOS and "minimise to system tray" will be in the Hydrus menu when in advanced mode
    macOS debug dialog menus are now disabled by default
    The macOS build of hydrus now uses pyoxidizer 0.24.0 and Python 3.10
    The command palette and hyperlinks colors in the default Qt stylesheet now use palette based colors that should change based on the Qt style
    One thing hydev did: on macOS, Cmd+W should now close any dialog or non-main-gui window, just like the Escape key

    Shortcuts:

    By default, Alt+Home/End/Left/Right now does the new thumbnail rearranging. assuming they do not conflict with an existing mapping, all users will recieve this on update
    By default, the shortcuts system now converts all non-number 'numpad' inputs (e.g. 'numpad Home', 'numpad Return', 'numpad Left') to just be normal inputs. a bunch of different keyboards have whack numpad assignments for non-numpad keys, so if it isn't a number, let's not, by default, make a fuss over the distinction. you can return to the old behaviour by unchecking the new checkbox under file->shortcuts
    The default shortcuts now no longer spam numpad variants anywhere. existing users can delete the surplus mappings (under 'thumbnails' and maybe some of the 'media' sets) if they like

    Some UI QoL:

    The tag service menu button that appears in the autocomplete panel and sometimes some other places in advanced mode now shows a proper check mark in its menu beside its current value
    The location context menu button on the other side of an autocomplete panel and some other places also now shows a check mark in its menu beside its current value
    The OR button on search autocomplete that creates new OR predicates now inherits the current file search domain. it was previously defaulting at all times to the fallback file domain and 'all known tags'
    The current search predicates list also now inherits the file search domain when you edit an OR predicate currently in use, same deal
    Removed the 'favourites' submenu from the taglist menu when no tags are selected
    In any import context, the file log's arrow menu now supports deleting all the 'unknown' (outstanding, unstarted) items or setting them all to 'skipped'. the 'abort imports' button (with the stop icon) in HDD and urls import pages is removed

    Misc:

    Fixed yet another dumb problem with the datetime control's paste button--although the paste was now 'working' on the UI side, the control wasn't saving that result on dialog ok. the fixes both the datetime button and the modified/file service time multi-column list editing
    A core asynchronous thread-checking timer in the program has been rewritten from a 20ms-resolution busy-wait to a <1ms proper wait/notify system. a bunch of stuff that works in a thread is now much faster to recognise that blocking UI work is done, and it is more thread-polite about how it does it!
    In the setup_venv scripts, if it needs to delete an old venv directory but fails to do so, the script now dumps out with an error saying 'hey, you probably have it open in a terminal/IDE, please close that and try again'. previously, it would just charge on and produce an odd file permission error as, e.g., the new venv setup tried to overwrite the in-use python exe
    Added a help->debug->gui->isolate existing mpv widgets command to force regeneration of mpv windows and help test-out/hack-fix various 'every other of my mpv views has no audio' and 'my mpv loses xxx property after a system sleep/wake cycle' problems. if I've been working with you on this stuff, please give it a go and let me know if new mpv window creation is good or what!
    Added a BUGFIX: Disable off-screen window rescue checkbox to options->gui that stops windows that think they are spawning off-screen from repositioning to a known safe screen. several Qt versions have had trouble with enumerating all the screens in a multiple monitor setup and thus the safe coordinate space, so if you have been hit by false positives here, you can now turn it off! (issue #1511)
    Fixed another couple instances of error texts with empty formatting braces {}

    Tag repository:

    Mapping petitions fetched from the server will now max out at 500k mapping rows or 10k unique tags or ten seconds of construction time. we had a 250k-unique-tag petition this last week and it broke something, so I'm slapping a bunch of safety rails on. let me know if these are too strict, too liberal, or if it messes with the fetch workflow at all--I don't think it will, but we'll see

    Build stuff:

    Now they have had time to breathe, I optimised the recently split Github build scripts. the 'send to an ubuntu runner and then upload' step is now removed from all three, so they are natively uploaded in the first runner step. it works just a little nicer and faster now, although it did require learning how to truncate and export a variable to the Github Environment Variables file in Powershell, aiiieeeee
    also, Github is moving from Node 16 to Node 20 soon, and I have moved two of the four actions we rely on to their newer v20 versions. a third action should be ready to update next week, and another, a general download file function, I have replaced with curl (for macOS) and Powershell's magical Invoke-WebRequest adventure

Changelog

    More macOS work:

    Thanks to a user, we have more macOS features:

    MacOS users get a new shortcut action, default Space, that uses Quick Look to preview a thumbnail like you can in Finder all existing users will get the new shortcut!
    The hydrus app now has the version number in Get Info
    MacOS users who run from source should rebuild their venvs this week! if you don't, then trying this new Quick Look feature will just give you an error notification

    New fuzzy operator math in system predicates:

    The system predicates for width, height, num_notes, num_words, num_urls, num_frames, duration, and framerate now support two different kinds of approximate equals, ˜: absolute (±x), and percentage (±x%) previously, the ˜ secretly just did ±15% in all cases (issue #1468)
    All system:framerate=x searches are now converted to ±5%, which is what they were behind the scenes != framerate stuff is no longer supported, so if you happened to use it, it is now converted to < just as a valid fallback
    System:duration gets the same thing, ±5% it wasn't doing this behind the scenes before, but it should have been!
    System:duration also now allows hours and minutes input, if you need longer!
    For now, the parsing system is not updated to specify the % or absolute ± values it will remain the same as the old system, with ±15% as the default for a ~= input
    There's still a little borked logic in these combined types if you search < 3 URLs, that will return files with 0 URLs, and same for num_notes, but if you search < 200px width or any of the others I changed this week, that won't return a PDF that has no width (although it will return a damaged file that reports 0 width specifically) I am going to think about this, since there isn't an easy one-size-fits-all-solution to marry what is technically correct with what is actually convenient I'll probably add a checkbox that says whether to include 'Null' values or not and default that True/False depending on the situation; let me know what you think!

    Misc:

    I have taken out Space as the default for archive/delete filter 'keep' and duplicate filter 'this is better, delete other' Space is now exclusively, by default, media pause/play I am going to set this to existing users too, deleting/overwriting what Space does for you, if you are still set to the defaults
    Integer percentages are now rendered without the trailing 0 15%, not 150%
    When you 'open externally', 'open in web browser', or 'open path' from a thumbnail, the preview viewer now pauses rather than clears completely
    Fixed the edit shortcut panel ALWAYS showing the new (home/end/left/right/to focus) dropdown for thumbnail dropdown, arrgh
    I fixed a stupid typo that was breaking file repository file deletes
    Help->about now shows the Qt platformName
    Added a note about bad Wayland support to the Linux 'installing' help document
    The guy who wrote the Fixing_Hydrus_Random_Crashes_Under_Linux document has updated it with new information, particularly related to running hydrus fast using virtual memory on small, underpowered computers

    Client api:

    Thanks to a user, the undocumented API call that returns info on importer pages now includes the sha256 file hash in each import object Object
    Although it is a tiny change, let's nonetheless update the Client API version to 61

    Boring predicate overhaul work:

    Updated the NumberTest object to hold specific percentage and absolute ± values
    Updated the NumberTest object to render itself to any number format, for instance pixels vs kilobytes vs a time delta
    Updated the Predicate object for system preds width, height, num_notes, num_words, num_urls, num_frames, duration, and framerate to store their operator and value as a NumberTest, and updated predicate string rendering, parsing, editing, database-level predicate handling
    Wrote new widgets to edit NumberTests of various sorts and spammed them to these (operator, value) system predicate UI panels we are finally clearing out some 8+-year-old jank here
    Rewrote the num_notes database search logic to use NumberTests
    The system preds for height, width, and framerate now say 'has x' and 'no x' when set to >0 or =0, although what these really mean is not perfectly defined

Changelog

    Tag sorting bonanza:

    Options->sort/collect now offers four places to customise default tag sort. instead of having one default sort for everything, there's now sort for search pages, media viewers, and the manage tags dialogs launched off of them

    Tag filter:

    When you copy namespaces from the tag filter list, it now copies the actual underlying data text like character:, which you can paste in elsewhere, rather than the pretty "character" tags display text
    Brushed up some of the UI and help text on the tag filter UI
    Fixed a couple places where the tag copy menus were trying to let you copy an empty string, which ended up with -invalid label-
    Fixed some extremely janked-out logic in the tag filter that was sending (un)namespaced tags to the 'except for these' advanced whitelist in many cases. it was technically ok, but not ideal and overall inhuman

    Concatenated source urls:

    On rule34.xxx and probably some other places, when the file has multiple source urls, the gelbooru-style parsers were pulling the urls in the format [ A, B, C, 'A B C' ], adding this weird extra string concatenation that is obviously invalid. I fixed the parsers so it won't happen again
    On update, you are going to get a couple of yes/no dialogs asking if you want to scan for and delete existing instances of these URLs. if you have a big client, it will take some time to do this scan. the yes/no dialogs will auto-yes after ten minutes, so if you are doing a headless update via docker or something, please be patient--it will go through

    Note sidecars:

    The note->media sidecar exporter module now has a 'forced name' input. if you want to parse a single note from a .txt or .json that doesn't have a name, you can now force it
    The sidecard txt separator dropdown in the .txt importer module now has a 'four pipes (||||)' entry in the dropdown as a quick-select beside 'newline'. four pipes is a useful separator of multi-line notes content since it almost certainly won't come up in a normal note
    Some tooltips and stuff are updated around here to better explain what the hell is going on
    Added a unit test to test the forced name

    Misc:

    To help the recent shortcuts change that merged numpad variants of + and left arrow and so on into being seen as the unmodified variants, if you have a saved shortcut that is still the numpad variant, it will now match the unmodified input when the merge mode is on. just means you don't have to remap everything with this mode on--everything merged matches everything
    Added 'copy file known urls' to the 'media' shortcut set
    I forgot to mention last week that we figured out more native global menubar tech (where the top menubar of the program will embed into your OS's top system menubar) in last week's release, for non-macOS (some versions of Linux) users. the new checkbox is under gui->Use Native MenuBar. it defaults to on for macOS and off for everyone else, but feel free to try it. there was a related 'my menubar is now messed up, why?' bug that hit some people in v564 that is fixed today. sorry if you got boshed by this, since it was tricky to manually fix. in future, note you can hit ctrl+p in a default client to bring up the command palette, and then you can type 'options' and can open the options that way, if your menubar isn't working!
    Fixed the ideal usage calculation in database->move media files when there are three or more competing storage locations with two or more having a max size that is exceeded by their weight, and one or more having a max size that is only exceeded by their weight a little bit. due to a mistake in how total remaining weight was calculated in the little behind the scenes elimination game here, a location in this situation was exceeding its max size amount by a multiple of 1/(1-total_normalised_weight_of_restricted_locations), typically +10-30%. thank you for the report here, it was interesting to figure out!
    I removed a hack that made the repositories (like the PTR) work for users running super old versions of the client. the hack has now been in place for more than a year. if you run into repository syncing problems, please update to after v511!
    Fixed a dumb status line in the 'check for missing/invalid files' checker thah was double-counting bad files in the popup
    Fixed some media duration 'second' components being rendered with extraneous .0, like '30.0 seconds'
    Fixed a db routine that fetches a huge table in pieces to not repeat a few rows when the ids it is fetching are non-contiguous, and to report the correct quantity of work done as a result (it was saying like 17,563/17,562)
    The new help->about Qt platformName addition will now say if the actual platformName differs from the running platformName (e.g. if it was set otherwise with a Qt launch parameter)

    Client api:

    Just a small thing, but the under-documented /manage_database/get_client_options call now says the four types of default tag sort. I left the old key, default_tag_sort, in so as not to break stuff, but it is just a copy of the search_page variant in the new default_tag_sort_xxx foursome
    Client api version is now 62

The Music Collection is a free program that allows you to archive your music collection. Using it you can enter in a collection any kind of music media that you own or you intend to. Also you can add or edit any kind of information concerning the albums in the collection.

The album info can be manually entered or automatically via the Internet. After saving the albums, you can browse them, filter albums by all possible criteria and search for particular album tracks you are interested. Also the program can display and print all data from your music collection in different ways, so you can pick the desired one.

The idea for creating the program was to manage my own music collection and i hope that it would be also useful to any music collector.

Freeware
