I’m making a ton of progress on my own MPEG-4 parser, and am able to read and set all tags as of now. I hope to include this new code in the next alpha build in the next few days.

That’s right, working cross-platform support will soon be coming to Tagger, as I’ve decided to forsake AtomicParsley and build my own MPEG-4 parser. In addition to Mac OS X and Linux support, files should load faster and the program should be less memory-intensive and occupy less space on your hard drive. I’ll also be able to update the code myself, so any new iTunes features or bugs in Tagger will be easy to address. Stay tuned.
This build adds support for turning files into ringtones (under the Kind field) for the iPhone. I don’t have an iPhone to test on so I can’t be sure, but you may also need to rename the file extension to .m4r.
This build fixes a few minor bugs.
This build fixes a bug that caused changes to a file to be discarded if a new file was opened. It also adds drag and drop file opening to the file list on the side, and allows for opening multiple files at once via this method as well as the file chooser. Feedback is appreciated.
So apparently that bug wasn’t fixed, but now it should be.
Main change in this build: if you make changes to a file and try to close it, now Tagger will actually save it if you choose that option. Also, I realize that in my last post on the alpha release I realized I didn’t explain what the changes to Save As and Clear To were. For both of these actions, Tagger will cease to operate on the original file and continue operations on the newly created file, similar to the functionality in Microsoft Word. Also, the alpha builds will now check for new updates in a separate release system from the non-alpha builds.
This fixes a bug which caused Long Description to not release iTunes when closed via the X button.
