- Short: V2.97 - Converts MP3 directory to HTML.
- Author: Gareth Griffiths <mail@gazchap.com>
- Uploader: Gareth Griffiths <mail@gazchap.com>
- Version: 2.97
- Type: mus/misc
-
- Program Description --------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- This program scans through a directory of your choice and reads the ID3
- tags from any MP3s it finds therein. It then produces an attractive and
- configurable HTML page listing them all.
-
- Unfortunately, due to the way MUI coding works in Blitz Basic, there is
- no way of removing MP3-2-HTML's reliance on MUI, even though there is
- an option not to use the MUI interface.
-
- If you don't have MUI and want to use the program, download version 2.4
- which is a less advanced version of the program, without a MUI GUI,
- and missing new features introduced in version 2.9x.
-
- MP3-2-HTML is *MAILWARE* (for now). If you use the program, please
- e-mail me (mail@gazchap.com) and let me know what you think! Your
- feedback is important! Thanks!
-
- Of course, being MAILWARE doesn't mean that I'd say "no" if you wanted
- to send me any monetary donations :)

- Version History ------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- NEW: New Feature, FIX: Bug Fix, IMP: Improvement, PRB: Problem.
-
- > 2.97 (11-02-2002)
-
- - NEW: In MUI mode, there is now another progress bar in the
- progress window that gives more information into what is
- currently going on.
-
- - IMP: The MP3 sorting routine has been changed and is now
- dramatically faster. Creating a list from my MP3 directory
- takes 91 seconds (just over a minute and a half!) using the
- last release (2.96.2) and that is on a 50MHz 68060!
-
- This release takes just 20 seconds!
-
- - FIX: Albums are now sorted. Forgot about this in the last release!
- [GazChap]
-
- - FIX: Put #'s in front of all colour codes in the HTML, this was
- causing some problems with older browsers. [GazChap]
-
- > 2.96.2 (09-02-2002)
-
- - FIX: Thousand separators weren't inserted into some entries for
- some reason. Hopefully fixed [GazChap]
-
- - IMP: Tweaked code a bit more to improve sorting speed.
-
- > 2.96 (08-02-2002)
-
- - NEW: You can now choose (to a certain extent) what information
- is displayed on the HTML page. Artist and Title must remain,
- but you can now disable Sizes, Albums, and Numbers (see below)
-
- - NEW: The program will now read the Album field of the ID3 tags and
- put it into the HTML page (if you want it to!)
-
- - NEW: The program will (at your request) number each MP3 file on the
- HTML page.
-
- - NEW: You now have the option to show a total of the number of files
- without any ID3 tags.
-
- - IMP: Added a thousands separator to the Sizes column to enhance
- readability.
-
- - IMP: Improved page-title handling. You can now insert <br> HTML
- tags (line breaks) into the page title, and they will be
- converted to hyphen's in the browser's title bar.
-
- - IMP: Optimised the program code slightly, especially in the HTML
- file creation code.
-
- - FIX: Creating more than one file in the same session used the date
- and time of the first file (in the page title). [GazChap]
-
- > 2.93 (14-03-2001)
-
- - NEW: The program now uses ASL file requesters instead of
- ReqTools.
-
- - NEW: You can now save your preferences for future use.
-
- - NEW: Changed version numbering system. No letters now!
-
- - FIX: Pressing Cancel in the file requesters (MUI) no longer
- causes the program to exit. [Stefan1200]
-
- - FIX: Using the file requester to select an output file no
- longer shortens the path to 24 characters. [Stefan1200]
-
- - FIX: Creating more than one file per session doesn't
- concatenate the page titles any more. [Stefan1200]
-
- > 2.9a (05-03-2001)
-
- - FIX: The AmigaDOS lock on the output file is now unlocked
- straight after creation, not after program exit. [Stefan1200]
-
- > 2.9 (19-02-2001)
-
- - NEW: Integrated the MUI and CLI versions into one.
-
- - IMP: Optimised the HTML output.
-
- - IMP: Both versions now (obviously) do recursive scanning.
-
- > 2.4 CLI (20-08-2000)
-
- - NEW: Recursive scanning is finally working!!!
-
- - NEW: Added LINKS option to generate local links to MP3 files.
-
- - NEW: Added an error counter.
-
- - IMP: More informative CLI output.
-
- - FIX: If the selected directory contained no MP3 files, it
- tried to list them anyway. This has been fixed. [GazChap]
-
- - FIX: If you did not select an input directory/output file, it
- continued anyway and then failed. This has been fixed, it
- now aborts straight away if you don't select one from the
- file requester. [GazChap]
-
- > 2.3 (02-08-2000)
-
- - NEW: Configurable page titles and headers.
-
- - NEW: Grouped MUI and CLI versions in the same distribution.
-
- - IMP: Other minor improvements, nothing special.
-
- - IMP: Tidied up HTML output - it's now valid HTML 4.0!

-
- - NEW: Complete re-write of the code.
-
- - NEW: Removed MUI GUI for now, it makes for easier usage I find.
-
- - IMP: Now does not use an external database, it reads directly
- from the ID3 tags of the MP3.
-
- - PRB: Can no longer configure page title (yet)
-
- > 2.0 MUI (13-05-2000)
-
- - NEW: First Aminet release.
-
- - NEW: Complete re-write of code, some features from old
- versions are currently omitted.
-
- - NEW: Added MUI GUI, all previous versions were CLI only.
-
- - IMP: Easier handling of CLI parameters, now they can be
- specified in any order.
