We're about to release 9.1, so this is your last chance to get up on the old oak box and sermonize, rant, rend asunder, in general, have at it.
Why should this lady not sail now?
Listening to: 'Mambo Birdland' from 'Mambo Birdland' by 'Tito Puente' on Media Center 9.1
Please don't let her out yet! The "lady" needs a "Right Click-File Properties" option/command/whatever it's called, and I'll explain why.
When I purchased MJ8, I purchased it because I fell in love with the app. It did everything that I wanted. Except it had a major flaw that I was unaware of, it didn't apply the IDv2 tags correctly. I discovered this after ripping over 250 CDs.
So, after much debating about upgrading to 9.x, I upgraded with the idea of holding off purchasing the upgrade until 9.1's official release. After discovering some issues that have been resolved in the last 3 builds, I'm thinking that she's getting better, but she still needs that "Right Click-File Properties" option/command/whatever it's called. Because without it, it's darn near impossible to edit the tag info for multiple files.
Let's take the Dream Theater (I know, not everyone's cup of tea, but this in as example.) files that I have, all 267 of them. Now, in order for me to fix the IDv2 issue created by MJ8 I can, as it stands now, update each file
individually or
re-rip my entire Dream Theater catalog. ? This is just an example of the 3,600+ files that I would have to do this to.
However, if I had the "Right Click-File Properties" option/command/whatever it's called function, I could do just that for all the files at once, change some like the comment field (which is completely gone in build 244 btw) and TA-DA!!! Updated with proper IDv2 tags, and I've saved a considerable amount of time.
I believe that it would be very beneficial to have the "Right Click-File Properties" option/command/whatever it's called function for new users as well. It would be ultra confusing for someone to try and edit the file properties when they are use to the traditional "Right Click-File Properties" function.
This is, and has been, my biggest gripe since I've "updated" to MC9. There's been some other issues that haven't been resolved, but I can live with them for now as I'm sure that they will be tended to in future builds. So Jim, please consider putting that function back in because that, I feel, is a major issue with the lady. After that, I hope she has a peaceful voyage!
