What's New in Sonique 0.75b: Version History of Sonique 0.75b
- Here's the LENGTHY list of additions/fixes from .62 to .75. They are listed in order of relative importance.
If you wonder why there was 3 months between .62 and .75, just notice that number one on the list is a
completely new MP3 decoder -- and that's only 1 of 24. There are actually many more fixes, but we
can't remember all of the hundred or so we've done since .62.
- Added our own Completely New MPEG Audio Decoder (Stardust™). This fixes most of the crashing
problems from .62 and includes support for Xing AudioCatalyst™ encoded files, VBR files and also
just plain corrupted/badly encoded files. It plays all files and plays them better.
- New version of Mikit™ Module Decoder. Module files sound better than ever.
- Playsafe™ v1.00 implemented. This is a security system we've developed. See our website for details.
- New INSTALLSHIELD™ Installer - Also with an UNINSTALLER.
- Support for European characters added.
- Additional visualizations - Added Spectrum 2.0.
- Additional visualization effects - you can now apply smoke and zoom effects to the vis as well as blur.
- Includes our Right On Time™ Visual System for fast, accurate visualization display.
- CD-Player Replacement / Auto Insert Detection Added. Sonique can now be your default CD-Player.
- We know have ID3 display support. If a file as an ID3 tag, the song title/artist will display.
- WAV File player added/improved.
- Added ability to switch from TIME ELAPSED to TIME REMAINING - Click on the time while playing a song to switch.
- Equalizer Presets added.
- Seek bugs fixed. At time of release, we are only player to support accurate seek in VBR files.
- Antialiasing Fixes - Text and Graphics in Sonique look cleaner and smoother. No more black edges.
- Playlist highlighting fixed visually and made more windows-like.
- Fixed aliasing problems around edges of navigator (finally)
- Added shadow to volume knob in mid mode (how did that get left out in the first place?).
- Re-did some of the layout in the preferences, got rid of silly bounding boxes.
- Got rid of file output info text in mid mode for now.
