• FLAC added seek table writing

Core Converter:

• Fixed incorrect stamping of dbpoweramp version over encoder fields when encoding to audio info etc

CD Ripper & ID Tag Editor:

• Scan album art – option to choose scanner
• Hides when scanning album art as often the scanner window would show behind window

CD Ripper:

• Metadata saved to cache when clicking rip
• Manual metadata page does not show artist on the track listing if matches the album artist
• Discogs, able to read disc entries which have no tracks (as classical movement releases)
• Using gnudb.gnudb.org as freedb replacement, submissions enabled again
• Track type removed as metadata provider

m4a tags:

• Lyricist no longer written as @aud as nothing uses that

Bug Fix:

• File Naming could change filename characters such as ¿ to 1/2
• DSD 512 bug – could not decode to 96KHz
• CD Ripper: any encoder or effect relying on gapless details or indexes could previously not function correctly.
• CD Ripper: Fixed column widths not being properly remembered (column adjustments were reverted on meta lookup etc)
• certain formats when editing id tags, replacing the album art would not replace, instead would leave old album art
• CD Ripper gap removal DSP effect working
• Batch Converter would clear existing file selections when creating new profiles.
• Wouldn’t rip straight to Opus
