SongKong 8.1 Scar released 7th of January 2022 https://community.jthink.net/t/songkong-8-1-scar-released-7th-of-january-2022/10400 Performer Credits SongKong could already retrieve track level performer credits from MusicBrainz. But MusicBrainz can also store performer credits at release level and these apply to all tracks on the release, this new release can now retrieve these release level credits and add them to each track. When a track has multiple credits for a particular role (such as two engineers) they are not stored by MusicBrainz in any particular order, so the order they were added to SongKong was random, this mean't that the order could change when the the Albunack database was rebuilt. Now to ensure consistency and remove needless modification to your SongKong music files these roles are always stored in alphabetical order SongKong correctly splits a single credit of multiple instruments into multiple credits, so a credit for Paul McCartney Vocals, Guitar is added to your music files as Paul McCartney (Vocals), Paul McCartney (Guitar), but it was also splitting single credits such John Lennon, Addtional Guitar incorrectly, this is now fixed. The vocal performance of Vocal performers was previously being added to the Instruments field, this is not what most customers would like so now the instruments field is restricted to actual instruments Original Release Date When looking for the earliest or original release date SongKong was always selecting later release with country to earlier than one with unknown country. So this means it may not get the earliest release and it could actually be later than the release matched if song has been matched to a release with no country events, this is now fixed. Improved Matching When double checking album matches we now allow for existing data storing the featured artists in title rather than artist. This is quite common but MusicBrainz preferred formatting is for featured artists to be stored in artist credit so that when we double check artist/title for each match it was sometimes leading to valid matches being rejected. So when matching we now check for artists in original metadata and strip out and when checking artist credits we should allow a match from name to just the one main name credit in artist credit.

Sorry not possible, it is not possible for me to support multiple versions. But a small upgrade payment of £10 allows you to download all the new versions released in the next year. We do release a new version of SongKong every couple of months and you get a much better product if you keep up to date with the newest version

SongKong 7.2 Cassdaga now available We are please to announce the release of SongKong Cassdaga, named after the 8th album by Bright Eyes This release is a complete rewrite of the SongKong’s renaming feature. There are no new options and only minor changes to the Errors and Warnings tab but it should do renaming considerably better. Especially when SongKong has to shorten the name because the Windows 259 character limit is enabled, and when you have duplicate copies of the same song so that the duplicates have to be renamed.

Hi, that is not possible with Docker version, but should not be necessary.

SongKong 6.8 Rumours released, full details at https://community.jthink.net/t/songkong-6-8-rumours-released-29th-january-2020/8540

Sorry for the delay in replying, I forgot to check and we have new forums at https://community.jthink.net/ I guess this problem only occurs when you use SongKong to rename or move files, and the default permissions created are incorrect. We tried to fix this previously with umask but it didnt work - https://jthink.atlassian.net/projects/SONGKONG/issues/SONGKONG-1757 so I will try again in the next few days

I think this must be for a particular file format since usually SongKong modifies existing file rather than create new one and so ownership of existing file should not usually be changed. But I have already raised an issue for this https://jthink.atlassian.net/projects/SONGKONG/issues/SONGKONG-1757 and I will be looking at this next, what audio format are your files ?

For any automatic update yes it is, although the Web based Manual Edit which allows you to modify your metadata with a webrowser is available free as part of SongKong Lite.
