New: LongDescription 0.0

Users have inquired about setting a “Long Description” in iTunes that causes a little gray circle with a white ‘i’ in the middle of it to show up next to your files. This isn’t a tag in the sense that it is contained within the file itself, but within iTunes’ library file. I wasn’t sure how to incorporate it into Tagger because of this, so I made a little command line program instead.

It’s really simple to use. Download the ZIP file, unzip it, and double-click run.bat to start it up. iTunes will load and in the command line you will be prompted to enter a Track Name. This is the title of the track you wish to add the description to. Be warned, as it will be whichever file it first finds with this name (read as: it may not be the one you’re looking for). You will then be prompted to add a description, which should appear instantaneously in iTunes.

As a side note, I have successfully found a way to merge the Java 5 and Java 6 sources into one file so development should go much more smoothly now.

Re-Welcome

With the forthcoming release of Tagger (as it shall now be known) 3, I’ve decided to star this blog anew. I will also be adding some pages describing all of the program’s features, a changelog, planned features, and some other stuff. Tagger has a very rapid development schedule and new releases are available all the time. To make sure you’re caught up, check the blog often or subscribe to the RSS feed.
