VinylStudio V15.0.1, 11Oct24

(With a big thank you to users who contributed bug reports and suggestions to this list, and especially to all Beta testers.)

Changes from Version 15.0.0

	▪	Fixed a few issues introduced when the software was translated (including a crash on Sierra).

	▪	Fixed a problem saving tracks in MP3 format when recording to DSD.

	▪	Fixed 'Scan for Track Breaks' not working first time through.

	▪	'Mix down to mono' now works when saving as DSD.  If the input file is stereo, the left-hand channel will be used unless the right-hand channel is explicitly specified.

	▪	Fixed a few other minor issues.

Changes from Version 14.1.1

	▪	Multiple language support!  At last!!!  French, German, Spanish and Italian, with possibly others to come (ask us!).  This is currently in Beta and the screenshots in the help file are still in English (and may remain that way).

These are machine translations, so all feedback welcome.  Please direct it to: https://www.alpinesoft.co.uk/contact_us.aspx.  Thanks.

	▪	VinylStudio can now import (for example) WMA files (Windows only).

	▪	Implemented time-limited licenses (for LINKWITZ.audio).

	▪	Fixed a problem scanning DSD files for clicks and saving tracks as PCM (sorry about that).

	▪	A couple of minor bug fixes.

Changes from Version 14.1.0

	▪	A couple of minor bug fixes and crashes reported by users.

Changes from Version 14.0.7

	▪	Fixed a problem scrolling while dragging the selection.

	▪	VinylStudio now (optionally) overlays a simplified waveform display in the Cleanup Audio window.  This is similar to what Audacity does.  Also, the resolution of the simplfified display has been improved.

	▪	A couple of other minor bug fixes and features requested by users.

Changes from Version 14.0.6

	▪	Fixed a problem saving tracks in the wrong order.

Changes from Version 14.0.5

	▪	Fixed a problem saving tracks (they went to the wrong folder, sorry about that).

	▪	Fixed an occasional crash scanning for clicks.

Changes from Version 14.0.5 Beta 2

	▪	Fixed a few other sporadic crashes and bugs.

	▪	Added a couple of features requested by users, namely:
▪	you can now save the tracks in the burn list as audio files
▪	VinylStudio for Windows now integrates with Apple Music (as well as iTunes)

Changes from Version 14.0.5 Beta 1

	▪	Fixed yet another issue saving tracks as DSD.  So sorry, more haste, less speed.

	▪	Fixed (hopefully) a sporadic startup crash on Windows XP.

Changes from Version 14.0.4

	▪	Fixed 'incomplete save' of DSD recordings when saving tracks.  Sorry about that.

Changes from Version 14.0.3

	▪	Fixed a few crashes and bugs reported by users.

Changes from Version 14.0.1

	▪	Fixed silly 'looping when scanning for clicks' bug, sorry about that.

Changes from Version 14.0.0

	▪	A number bug fixes (including some crashes and stuttering audio when saving tracks), many thanks to all those who reported back.

Changes from Version 13.1.6

	▪	The maximum length of a manual repair has been increased from just under 10ms to 50ms.  You need a fast machine with, ideally, 4 cores or more to repair wide clicks.  This requires VinylStudio Premium, but you can trial that for 30 days before you have to purchase a license.

	▪	The maximum length of a patch has been increased from 250ms to 1 second.  Results vary, with longer patches.  This requires VinylStudio Premium.

	▪	There is a new type of Patch - 'multiclick' - which strings a number of click repairs together to replaced the damaged audio.  This requires VinylStudio Premium.

	▪	Patching is now multi-threaded (one thread per channel) and as a result there is, in most cases, a 2x speedup, provided that you have a CPU with at least 2 cores.  This requires VinylStudio Premium.

	▪	The click scanner is also now multi-threaded (one thread per channel) and as a result there is again a 2x speedup.  This requires VinylStudio Premium.

	▪	You can now scan for, and optionally repair, clips.  This works best for minor clipping; if the clipping is severe you should re-record.

	▪	We have (at last!) sorted out the confusion between Artist and Album Artist.  VinylStudio uses the Album Artist and Title to uniquely identify the album.  There is a new field called Performing Artist that maps to Artist in many audio players, which can be overridden per-track if desired.  Artist Alias has been removed.

	▪	You can now burn multiple CDs in a single operation (Michael Pekic).  Requires VinylStudio Pro.

	▪	You can now drag an existing click repair horizontally by holding down the Alt / Option key (RonH).

	▪	Dragging various things now auto-scrolls the waveform display.  This should reduce the need to scroll in and out and / or scroll the display yourself to get things where you want them.

	▪	The comment fields in the Edit Album Details and Edit Track Details dialogs now accept line breaks.  Also, the length limit has been removed.  Please note that some players (notably iTunes) truncate this field when displaying it.

	▪	Custom tags now accept line breaks.

	▪	By popular request, we have added a 'lyrics' field to the Edit Track Details dialog.

	▪	You can now open Discogs in your web browser from the Lookup Track Listing dialog by right-clicking on an album in the list.  Your browser will then display the Discogs page for the release you clicked on (Gretschguy).  Requires VinylStudio Pro.

	▪	Changed the way 'Insert Manual Repair' (R) works; many thanks to Mike Dunt for the suggestion.

	▪	An album can now have several status names, rather than just one.  This should make managing your collection easier.  Also, the number of custom status names has been increased from 5 to 16.

	▪	Further improvements to the help file (the section on burning CDs needed some TLC).

	▪	The rumble filter wasn't working very well.  This has now been fixed.

	▪	Fixed a bug exporting CSV files - the order of the fields to be exported was being ignored.

	▪	'Restore Previous Purchases' tended to hang.  This is now fixed (applies to Mac App Store version only).

	▪	Also a few tweaks and bug fixes discovered by us or reported by users (including improving the 'needle up' logic when recording), for which much thanks.

Changes from Version 13.1.4

	▪	When you clicked on 'Show dB' in the Equalisation Curves window, the Preamp setting was jumping to +30 (westrock2000).  This is now fixed.

	▪	Fixed a bug in the hiss filter - it was sometimes injecting faint clicks into the music.  If any of your albums are affected, just save your tracks again.

	▪	Fixed a crash on Sonoma (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed yet another issue with autocomplete in the Custom Tags dialog (Steve Crook).

	▪	Fixed 'disappearing cursor' in the Custom Tags dialog (Steve Crook, Windows only).

	▪	VinylStudio was introducing the occasional faint 'pop' when burning audio CDs on the Mac.  This is now fixed.

	▪	It wasn't possible to enter a title and artist to be written to audio CDs as CD-Text.  Now it is (affected Windows only).

Changes from Version 13.1.1

	▪	The waveform display in the Cleanup Audio window no longer zooms right out when you switch to the Split Tracks window and then back again (Miguel Simoes).

	▪	The waveform display no longer zooms all the way out when you press '1' on the numeric keypad (Ron Howard, affects Windows only).

	▪	The Windows installer is now fully functional when installing as a non-admin user (the 'View readme file' and 'view license agreement' checkboxes weren't working).

	▪	Scrolling the waveform displayed horizontally with (for example) a trackball or magic mouse now scrolls in the correct direction (Alex O'Neal, was reversed).

	▪	Fixed a problem entering accented characters on the Mac (David Testa).

	▪	Fixed a problem saving (for example) emojis to .mcf files.

	▪	VinylStudio no longer cuts off the last half-second or so of playback when playing a file (MikeyLL).

	▪	Fixed a (destructive!) problem when changing only the case of the album artist or title when editing album details (Sonvolt).

	▪	Screenshots had gone missing from the PDF versions of the help file.  They are now back.

	▪	Fixed a couple of rare crashes and other minor issues reported by users.

Changes from Version 13.1.0

	▪	V13.0.0 was packaged incorrectly, meaning that users didn't have the correct software (affected Windows only).  V13.1.1 corrects that issue.

Changes from Version 13.0.0

	▪	Except for the App Store version, the help file is now displayed in Safari in the Mac version because Apple's Help Viewer is so unreliable.  This also has the advantage that it no longer insists on being in front of VinylStudio itself.  You can make VinylStudio revert to the old behaviour can behaviour by running the following command in Terminal:

		defaults write uk.co.AlpineSoft.VinylStudio UseHelpViewer 1

	▪	Automatically adjusting track breaks to fit the music has been made a little less trigger-happy.

	▪	Because of problems with virus checkers, we have reverted to the MSI installer (Windows only).

	▪	Saving to WMA now works again (Windows only, sorry about that).

	▪	By request, added a keyboard sortcut to the Burn CDs window (for visually impaired users).  We have also made the tabs in the main window navigable via the menu and via keyboard shortcuts.

	▪	VinylStudio now correctly splits multi-valued tags entered in the Custom Tags dialog (Steve Crook).

	▪	'Zoom Track' has been reinstated (with various issues fixed and a few enhancements).

	▪	Fixed a crash in the Check Level dialog on Big Sur (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed an issue generating folder.jpg when saving tracks with 'Embed album art' unchecked (Kim Rochat).

	▪	Fixed a crash saving tracks under certain conditions.

	▪	Fixed incorrect waveform display in the Split Tracks window when recording to DSD (or, to a lesser extent, when using speed conversion).  For existing recordings, please use 'Regenerate Waveform Display' to put it right.

	▪	Fixed VinylStudio silently changing the recording format for (e.g.) WAV files when DSD selected in the Check Level dialog.

	▪	Fixed an issue with 'Import Track Listing' (Kjell Jansson),

	▪	Fixed a couple of problems with autocomplete dropdowns (Steve Crook).

	▪	Fixed an issue using the Custom Tags editor when adding new tracks manually (Steve Crook).

	▪	Further improvements to the Custom Tags editor, including some additional, iTunes-specific tags.

	▪	Fixed a problem saving custom tags to AAC and Apple Lossless files.

	▪	Fixed a click at the end of saved tracks when saving DSD in DSF format (Francis Erdman).  Possibly only affects Roon.

	▪	Fixed a few issues with custom playback speeds (Erich Offermann).

	▪	Fixed an occasional crash looking up track listings from DIscogs and Music Brainz at the same time (Mike Richlick).

	▪	Fixed some minor errors in the way MP3 files were generated (primarily mono files).

	▪	Fixed an echo / skipping when recording with certain sound cards (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a couple of bugs printing albums with album notes.

	▪	Fixed a couple of other bugs and, mostly rare, crashes.  Thanks to all who reported back.

Changes from Version 13.0.0 Beta

	▪	Fixed occasional spurious 'Unexpected end of file' errors scanning FLAC files for clicks (Ken Atkinson).

	▪	When exporting a track listing, generate files as UTF-8 (Yoon, S. Korea).

	▪	Reduced / custom playback speeds can now be set independently in the Split Tracks and Cleanup Audio windows.

	▪	Made the clip counter in the Record window work (more or less) like it did in V12.5 (nk).

Changes from Version 12.5.3 (in no particular order)

	▪	Improved the responsiveness of the user interface when generating the waveform display.

	▪	Improved the way VinylStudio handles recording singles.  Please see the help file for details.

	▪	Fixed excessive memory consumption when saving tracks with lots of threads (David Bannister).  Also, VinylStudio now only opens files when necessary, which can dramatically reduce the total number open at once.

	▪	Improved the accuracy of the 'time to go' indicator when (for example) saving tracks.  Specifically, it is more stable and doesn't 'bounce around' so much.

	▪	Fixed a problem with MP4 files (i.e. AAC and Apple Lossless) longer than 4 billion samples.

	▪	By request, made a number of popups (e.g. 'Scan for Clicks complete') optional.  If you have other candidates, please let us know.

	▪	VinylStudio can now read cue sheets with embedded double quotes (Björn Henning, to whom much thanks).  There are also a couple of additional export options and we have fixed a couple of bugs.

	▪	Scan for Trackbreaks has been improved, thanks, in part, to a suggestion by Ale.  You can now also 'fine tune' existing track breaks to fit the gaps in the music.  Please note that the semi-manual scan feature has been removed.

	▪	If you ask it to, VinylStudio now correctly preserves your track breaks when looking up track listings online (Glenn Fox).

	▪	When integrating with iTunes / Music, VinylStudio now works rather better when you store your tracks in iCloud (Constance Hutson, James M Smith).

	▪	Fixed a problem with track breaks being out of alignment on side 2 when using cut-and-splice with DSD recordings (Günter Cloodt).

	▪	VinylStudio can now import Sony / Sonic Foundry Wave 64 files.  It cannot write to such files however, and it's unlikely, currently, that we will add support for this.

	▪	VinylStudio now automatically sets the recording level slider to maximum when recording DSD from the PS Audio NuWave Phono Converter.  This is needed to record DSD successfully.  The recording level slider is now also active (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed excessive CPU consumption when using loopback recording (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed inaccuracies saving tracks as DSD when using cut-and-splice.

	▪	Improved the stability of WASAPI support on Windows (Vista and later).  There will now be many fewer lockups, we hope.  We have also added support for WASAPI shared mode, since this sometimes works when other modes don't.

	▪	ASIO errors are now reported as text (Windows only).

	▪	Tweaked the wizard shown on first launch to make it clearer how to store recordings on an external drive.

	▪	Attempted to fix issues with USB Audio CODEC affecting a few Windows 11 machines (Windows only).  Trouble is, we can't reproduce those issues here so we don't know if we've fixed them.

	▪	VinylStudio now offers both quick erase (which is how it was before) and full erase when erasing optical disks.

	▪	VinylStudio now only asks for Microphone access when it needs it, rather than on startup (Mac only).

	▪	When mixing down to mono, you can elect to copy from only the left-hand or right-hand channel (as opposed to mixing the two).

	▪	'Print Collection' no longer crashes on Ventura (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed a sporadic crash when autosaving your collection on Ventura (Mac only).

	▪	Some of the menus have been tidied up and reviewed for consistency.

	▪	The maximum recording time and elapsed time display in the Record Dialog now respect the speed conversion setting (because, we feel, they should).

	▪	Nicer window animations, including on Windows.

	▪	Some improvements to the Custom Tags editor.

	▪	Fixed 'undo scan for clicks' (sorry about that).

	▪	Much improved facilities for importing audio files.

	▪	You can no longer select dividers and section headings in dropdown lists (Björn Henning).

	▪	You can now swap the left and right channels over if you record a file incorrectly (VinylStudio Pro only).

	▪	Support for long filenames (upto 32,000 characters or so) on Windows 10 and later.

	▪	Depending on the exact version of iTunes installed, fixed spurious 'iTunes is not installed' message on Windows.

	▪	Improved the accuracy of the way patches are displayed in the waveform display as you zoom out.

	▪	Fixed an issue repositioning the cursor (via mouseclick) when using the 'Play Track Breaks' feature.  It didn't work at all reliably, basically.

	▪	Extended characters are now handled better when burning Data CDs and DVDs with StarBurn.  However, IMAPIv2.0 is recommended for burning such discs (all of this applies to Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a problem saving tracks as 16 bit WMA Pro (the sound was distorted, Windows only).  Also, WMA 10 is now supported.

	▪	Length limits in exported CUE sheets have been removed (Björn Henning).

	▪	Mono AAC and Apple Lossless files now play correctly on the Mac.

	▪	Fixed 'Add silence at start of tracks' causing players to report the wrong bitrate and file duration in MP3 files saved as (e.g.) CBR 320 (Måns Frisk).

	▪	The 'Zoom Track' dialog didn't work properly and has been removed.  We doubt it will be missed.

	▪	Fixed occasional missing tracks when exporting albums in CSV format (haeggvinyl).

	▪	Fixed misaligned waveform display in the Split Tracks window after dragging recorded album sides around in the list (David Weinberg).

	▪	Fixed a crash in the custom tags editor if you press Esc too many times (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a rare crash deleting albums in the Batch window (Mac only).

	▪	We have done a bit of (long overdue!) work on the help file.

	▪	Improvements to the Windows installer.

	▪	As ever, there are a some other bug fixes and tweaks.  Many thanks, in particular, to both Ron Howard and David Bannister for their patient bug reporting and troubleshooting.

Changes from Version 12.5.2

	▪	Support for macOS Monterey 12.6.

	▪	Fixed an issue with cut-and-splice (Björn Henning).

	▪	Fixed duplicate tracks sometimes appearing in the Burn CDs window (Mac only).  Also fixed a rare crash switching to this window and one or two other minor related issues.

	▪	Fixed a crash switching to (or from) Dark Mode when the 'Update available' dialog is open (Mac only).  Also fixed the background colour in this dialog when in Dark Mode.

	▪	'Delete duplicate tracks from iTunes / Music library' is working again on the Mac (not available in the App Store version due to App Store restrictions).

	▪	VinylStudio no longer duplicates files in your iTunes / Music library when saving them for a second time.  It also ensures that the file in the library is actually updated if it has changed and also now works correctly when an album contains two tracks with the same name.

	▪	Fixed a crash reading and writing FLAC files on certain (older) non-Intel processors (Windows only).  Also, encoding FLAC files on reasonably up-to-date processors is now slightly faster (again, Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a problem with the waveform display in the Split Tracks window when using faders on M1 Macs (Mike Dunt, compiler bug!).

	▪	Made some detailed improvements to VoiceOver support on the Mac.

Changes from Version 12.5.1

(with a big thank you to users who contributed bug reports and suggestions to this list).

	▪	Added optional 'smart normalisation', which skips gaps between tracks, therefore (if you put the track breaks in the right place) ignoring things like the sound of the needle drop.  Please note that this is only available in VinylStudio Pro.

	▪	Fixed importing multiple files when using the 'combine' option on the Mac.  This was also slightly flawed on Windows.

	▪	By popular request, we have increased the brightness of the waveform display in the Split Tracks window in Dark Mode on the Mac.

	▪	Fixed a crash clicking on the Burn CDs tab with no collection open (or an empty collection open) on the Mac.

	▪	Fixed a sporadic crash typing in the Search box in the Help menu on Catalina (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed a sporadic crash repairing clicks manually (Mike Dunt, Mac only).

	▪	Fixed an issue trying to restart VinylStudio after changing the font (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed the popup 'speech bubble' help occasionally not appearing on Windows 11 (might be a Windows 11 bug).

Changes from Version 12.5.0

	▪	Fixed VinylStudio reverting to trial mode on the Mac after installing V12.5.0.  Sorry about that.

	▪	Fixed a crash when entering registration details on the Mac.

	▪	By popular demand, we have reverted to the old way of scrolling (pre-V12.5.0) when playing audio.

	▪	Some message boxes on the Mac were blank; this has been fixed.

	▪	Fixed VinylStudio erroneously displaying its Debug menu on the Mac.

	▪	The 'On' button in the Equaliser dialog was permanently disabled on M1 Macs; this has been fixed (Sam Hayes).

	▪	Fixed a couple of problems importing album art under certain circumstances.

	▪	The problem of VinylStudio sometimes stopping (as opposed to pausing) at the end of the album side when recording albums has been fixed.

	▪	Crash reporting was not working on the Mac; now it is.

	▪	Fixed the App Store version crashing on launch on macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan) (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed VinylStudio sometimes getting confused about whether it is in full screen mode on the Mac.

	▪	Generate better error messages if Controlled Folder Access is blocking VinylStudio from creating or writing files (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a sporadic (but harmless) crash on shutdown on the Mac.

Changes from Version 12.0.1

	▪	The cosmetic issue with the dropdowns in the Record window on Windows 11 is fixed (Microsoft's bug...).

	▪	VinylStudio now stops your computer from going to sleep while a recording is in progress.

	▪	You can now set a 'custom' playback speed when playing audio.  This is intended to help people determine the correct speed conversion settings to use when recording (for example) a tape that plays slightly too fast.

	▪	On the Mac, VinylStudio can now read a wider variety of AAC files (these come in several flavours).  Under Windows, the choice is more limited.

	▪	VinylStudio no longer crashes when trying to open an invalid or unsupported AAC or Apple Lossless file (Windows).

	▪	Fixed a rare crash saving tracks which require sample rate conversion (including DSD to PCM) (Nicolas Becquet).

	▪	VinylStudio now supports VoiceOver on the Mac (Mac only).

	▪	Added support for the CA/FLAT equalisation curve incorporated into Graham Slee Accession phono preamps.  This allows you to process recordings made with this setting selected on the front panel, should you wish.

	▪	Fixed an issue importing album art when using 'Lookup from Discogs' while creating a new album (Sebastian Paulisch).  Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only. 

	▪	The Lookup from Discogs dialog now remembers the last radio button you used (Sebastian Paulisch).

	▪	VinylStudio now stores and displays the Discogs release number when a track listing has been looked up from Discogs.

	▪	Fixed 'HTTP error 301' when importing album art from Music Brainz. (something changed at their end which we needed to accomodate).  This process is also a little faster.

	▪	There is now an 'Automatically Set Selection when Playing 1 Second Either Side of the Cursor' option in the Cursor Options menu (Steve Crook).  This can be useful to help track down hard-to-find clicks.

	▪	VinylStudio now shows when the input focus is on the waveform display (e.g. when you click in it).  This waveform display needs the input focus for certain shortcut keys to work.

	▪	Pressing the left and right arrow keys while holding down the Shift key now 'nudges' the cursor left and right in the waveform display.  Use Ctrl + Shift for a bigger nudge.

	▪	Fixed drag and drop from (e.g.) Safari  to VinylStudio's Album Art window in the App Store version (Mac only). 

	▪	Improved the behaviour of the presets dropdown when adding a new filter set.  Now, the previous selected preset is duplicated.  Before, it reverted to 'Custom settings'.

	▪	Improved the behaviour of 'Apply Recording Equalisation Curve' in the Equalisation Curve window.  Before, it wasn't working quite right.  You can now also 'listen while you work' in this window.

	▪	Improved the behaviour of 'Add Filter' in the Adjust Filter Settings and Equalisation Curve windows.

	▪	People who recorded DSD to FLAC or Apple Lossless can once again read those files (Nicolas Becquet, bug introduced in V12.0.0).

	▪	Fixed a couple of issues importing multiple MP3 files (Jan van Pijkeren).  This works much better now.

	▪	When printing albums, any page range(s) you have selected are now respected.

	▪	Fixed an issue saving tracks in MP3 format when padding with silence ('Add silence at start of tracks').

	▪	Fixed an issue where VinylStudio was stripping certain punctuation characters (e.g. slashes) from custom tag values.

	▪	You can now elect to hide the nodes in the Equalisation Curves window.  This makes it easier to see the curve.  Also, VinylStudio hides the cursor while dragging a node and applies a certain degree of smoothing to the curve.

	▪	VinylStudio now handles Japanese filenames on network shares better.  Please note that this is not perfect.  While the Windows version can (we believe) read any file produced on a Mac, the reverse is not always true.  This seems to be a limitation of macOS.

	▪	Fixed crash reporting on Monterey (Mac only).

	▪	Moved on to Xcode 13 on the Mac (from Xcode 12.5) and Visual Studio 2022 on Windows (from Visual Studio 2017).

	▪	Please note that, because of the above, we no longer support Windows 2000 and VinylStudio will not run on it.

	▪	Fixed a crash in Spectral View (problem introduced in V12.0.1).

	▪	Normalisation has been improved.  Specifically:
	▪	The preamp sliders now have greater range (+/- 30 dB instead of 12 dB) and precision (0.1 dB instead of 1 dB).
	▪	'Ignore transients' didn't work very well and has been removed.

	▪	Improved the 'Lookup from Discogs' user interface when creating an album.  Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only. 

	▪	When saving tracks with slashes in the album artist / album title / track title, these are now mapped to '+', rather than spaces, in the generated filenames.  If you have previously saved such tracks, you might like to save them again and then delete the ones saved previously (we think '+ is much nicer).

	▪	Fixed an issue where tracks weren't being deleted from the iTunes / Music library when deleting an album, even when the relevant box is checked.

	▪	Importing and exporting Audacity curves is now compatible with Audacity 3.x (.txt), rather than 2.x (.xml).  Please note that this feature is available in VinylStudio Pro only.

	▪	VinylStudio no longer rejects [File Type] as a keyword in the track naming template.

	▪	VinylStudio now displays a volume control slider on Vista and later (Windows only).  Previously, you had to open the Windows Mixer to adjust this.  (Please note: the sliders were missing from the Record and Check Level dialogs in V12.0.2 Beta 2.)

	▪	VinylStudio now automatically unmutes the audio (if necessary) when it starts playing or recording.

	▪	Fixed a problem importing multiple audio files of different types.

	▪	Fixed a bug when import cue sheets containing multiple album sides which was causing subsequent crashes when deleting the imported albums or recordings and a few other problems.

	▪	Fixed non-functional 'estimated time remaining' when burning CDs or DVDs using Starburn (problem introduced in V12.0.0, Windows only).

	▪	Fixed somewhat inaccurate 'estimated time remaining' when burning audio CDs using IMAPIv2.0 (Windows only).

	▪	VinylStudio can now read and write AAC files on processors with no SSE support (such as the Pentium II) (Windows only).  Previously, it would crash if you tried.

	▪	Fixed an occasional (and harmless) 'error 2' message when editing album details on the Mac.

	▪	Fixed an issue importing the SONGWRITER field in CUE sheets; this was not working correctly, although CUE sheets generated by VinylStudio were actually correct so you can just reimport them.  Please note that CUE sheet support is available in VinylStudio Pro only. 

	▪	Fixed a confusing error message when trying to record DSD to FLAC or Apple Lossless (this is no longer supported).  Please note that DSD support is available in VinylStudio Pro only.

	▪	Fixed an issue importing multiple files where VinylStudio mangled the track names and times imported from Discogs.  Please note that importing multiple files is available in VinylStudio Pro only. 

	▪	Fixed a problem saving tracks in MP3 format when using multiple threads on Big Sur.

	▪	Fixed a problem where VinylStudio was only applying equalisation / FFT curves to the first track saved for each album (Larry Gallant).  Bug introduced in V11.7.

	▪	VinylStudio now includes album art (if any) in its assessment of whether a track has been 'saved before'.

	▪	Implemented J (jump back 1 second) and Shift+J (jump back 10 seconds) in the Split Tracks and Cleanup Audio windows, as requested on the forum.

	▪	Fixed a rare (and harmless) error message when recording to MP3 format.

	▪	Fixed a typo in the help file (the 'Save Tracks' window was renamed 'Batch' a long time ago, sorry about that).

Changes from Version 12.0.0

	▪	Fixed a crash on M1 Macs in the Split Tracks window when using faders (now building with Xcode 12.5.1).

	▪	Fixed a problem opening recordings with a comma or a forward slash in the name.

	▪	Fixed a problem when entering the track duration for a newly added track in the Edit Track Details dialog (it was being ignored).

	▪	VinylStudio now preserves the 'Scan all album sides' checkbox setting when selecting a preset in the 'Scan for Clicks' dialog (previously, it was cleared when a preset was selected).

	▪	Fixed an occasional crash when looking album information up from Discogs when creating an album (Mac only).

	▪	Fixed occasional 'iTunes COM error' message when looking up track listings (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed 'iTunes not installed' message when trying to add saved tracks to iTunes (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a problem with entering keystrokes into the custom tags editor (Windows only).

	▪	Fixed a problem where VinylStudio was putting the track breaks in the wrong place when importing multiple cue sheets for the same album (Andreas Kopriva).

	▪	Fixed a crash in 'Import Track Listing'.

	▪	Fixed (probably) incorrect 'free space' display in the Record window with very large drives (problem reported with a 12TB drive).

	▪	Fixed a failure to store album art in AAC and Apple Lossless files when saving tracks.

	▪	Improved the help system on the Mac, which was not functioning very well.
