mcube is a digital music manager. Its goal is to
let users manage and choose music for listening
with the comfort and feeling of browsing physical
compact discs and with the power of computer aided
searching, sorting, and categorization.

Memory and performance optimizations were done,
resulting in 20% less disk usage for the DB, 10%
less memory used at startup, and efficient
operation with over 10,000 songs. Updating and
deletion of Tag Cosmos are now performed in the
background. Drag and drop can be used to add a
song to a compilation. A new "manage library"
panel was added to remove a managed folder.
There is a new drag and drop feature to export
songs to other applications, such as instant
messangers or media players. Support for reading
Ogg Vorbis tags from a file was added. Many memory
optimizations and some tricks on reloading data
were implemented to improve both real and
perceived performance, specially on large
libraries (over 10,000 songs). A menu item to
remove a song from a compilation was added.
This release adds initial support for MusicBrainz to complete album
details starting from the album name, initial image cache optimization,
and a new progress bar on CD Shelf. Player control support has been
reintroduced, and should now be multiplatform. It works with the latest
Java 6 builds. The package is bigger (9 Mb vs. 3 Mb) due to MusicBrainz
support libraries.
Support for tagging was introduced, along with a
Tag Cosmos that keeps relationships between tags.
It is now possible to create compilations. There
is a Wizard to add file to libraries. The new CD
Shelf offers a new and good-looking way to browse
album collections. It is also possible to
customize internal window positioning.
