New: search by field in the search bar, for example "Album: Live in Rotterdam AND Artist: Led Zeppelin" (also with OR). MusicParser now checks whether the tags match what you hear and warns when a track doesn't fit its tags. Tracks AcoustID can't find are matched to a Recording ID one by one by title, artist and duration, straight from the waveform button on the album card; the release you pick is remembered. The comparison dialog shows for each track whether it belongs to the album and the current cover, and after Apply BPM and ReplayGain are determined automatically. Scanning the destination folder now shows progress (x / y) and includes all artists. The album card shows in orange or red how many tracks are already in the destination. Also: Enter and Escape work again in all dialogs, covers are saved at up to 1000 pixels, library data is kept after a restart, and the user guide has been refreshed in all languages.

Version 2.0.1 introduces the new Collection tab: browse your music library as albums with artwork, switch between grid and list view, and use the search bar to quickly filter by artist, album, genre or year. New in this version: • Collection — overview of all albums in your destination folder with artwork and playback controls • Playlists — create and manage playlists and play them directly from the Collection • Per-album fingerprint — analyse the audio fingerprint of an entire album in one click • MusicBrainz — improved candidate scoring, shift-click selection and a clearer confirmation dialog • Bulk editor — album title is now editable in the bulk metadata editor All interface texts are now fully localised in all seven supported languages.

What's new in version 1.10.0 Faster startup after the first scan Previously, MusicParser rescanned the destination folder every time the app started, even when all the information had already been read in before. From version 1.10.0 onwards, the app remembers the contents of the destination folder. On subsequent launches, that information is loaded directly from the database — without reading a single file again. The result: the app is ready to compare almost instantly, even when your destination folder contains thousands of files. Manually rescan the destination folder Have you added, moved, or deleted files in the destination folder from outside MusicParser? You can now easily refresh the database using the new "Rescan destination folder" button in Settings → Advanced. The app will re-read the entire folder and save everything again. Normal use does not require this — the button is there for situations where you know the folder has been changed externally. Smarter duplicate detection: AcoustID first MusicParser compares files in the source folder against what is already in the destination folder to prevent the same track from being copied twice. Previously, this comparison relied first on the audio fingerprint and then on metadata (artist + title). From version 1.10.0, the AcoustID recording ID is checked first. This is a unique identifier assigned to a specific recording by the AcoustID service, regardless of filename, format, or tag quality. If that ID matches, it is definitively a duplicate — even if tags are missing, misspelled, or the file is in a different format. Only when no AcoustID ID is available does the app fall back to the fingerprint and then to metadata. Refreshed About window The About window has a new look. In addition to the app name and version number, it now also shows the karnhuis.dev logo and three clickable links: to the MusicParser website, the support page, and the privacy policy. This keeps the most important information just a click away.

Stability - Fixed: the app crashed after a macOS update due to a SwiftData incompatibility. The library database has been fully migrated to SQLite, preventing this type of crash from occurring with future macOS updates. M4A file improvements - Album title, track number and artwork are now correctly read and saved in M4A files. Previously these would disappear after a restart or database reset. - ReplayGain and MusicBrainz IDs are now correctly written to M4A files. Metadata preservation - Genre, album title and artwork are now retained after manual edits or using "Fetch missing data", even after a database reset and restart. - The completion percentage per album now consistently shows the correct value after a restart. Duplicate detection - Tracks with the same title but a different artist are no longer marked as duplicates. - Tracks with different MusicBrainz Recording IDs are never considered duplicates, even when title and artist match. - Each track now receives its own unique Recording ID; previously all tracks in an album would receive the same ID. Other - The save button now always appears after inline editing of an album title or artist name. - Metadata edits made via the inline editor are now correctly preserved during subsequent scans.

• Column resizing in the album overview is now smoother: no more ghost columns while dragging. • Improved metadata quality: year and genre are now determined across all tracks in an album, not just the first one. • False-positive MusicBrainz results are now automatically detected and discarded. • The comparison dialog only pre-selects fields that have actually changed. • Progress indicator when deleting multiple files. • Duplicate detection is more accurate for tracks with a MusicBrainz Recording ID.

MusicParser now fetches richer metadata from MusicBrainz (ISRC, label, composer, producer, track artist) and fills missing fields with Discogs. Choose per-track which fields to apply via a new comparison dialog. The user guide is available in six languages (nl/en/de/es/fr/it) with screenshots, directly accessible from the Help menu. Bug fixes for MusicBrainz artist fields and sidebar stability.
