March Updates To Convergence Jukebox

This month’s updates to Convergence Jukebox (March 2016).

• A screen has been added that lets users know when the song database is updating and to be patient.
• Genre file changes are now detected by timestamp generated when genre-flags.txt is changed. This negates the need for the built-in text timestamp in genre-flags.txt file.
• to negate Convergence Jukebox from crashing when improperly tagged mp3 files are added to the /music subdirectory
  • mp3 files deleted from /music subdirectory if Unicode characters found in their song title ID3 tag.
  • mp3 files deleted from /music subdirectory if Unicode characters found in their artist ID3 tag.
  • mp3 files deleted from /music subdirectory if Unicode characters found in their comment ID3 tag.
  • mp3 files deleted from /music subdirectory if song title ID3 tag found empty
  • mp3 files deleted from /music subdirectory if artist ID3 tag found empty.

The code at the GitHub site, the Windows.exe and Raspberry Pi image have all been updated to include the additions.

Happy Listening
