Would you like to help the Subsonic project and become a beta user? If so, please download and install Subsonic 2.6.beta1 from this link.
Please post your feedback to the forum. I would also appreciate it if you post a message, or drop me an email, when you install the beta version, so that I know roughly how many are testing it.
(I've been using 2.6.beta1 myself for two weeks, and haven't experienced any bugs or instabilities.)
Okay, here's the list of new features and bugfixes:
Support for multiple media folders. You can now specify several media folders in the configuration. This is useful, for example, if you have your music on multiple disks, or if you have one directory with music, and another with movies. The index (on the left-hand side) can either show all media folders (merged alphabetically), or the user can select from a combo box which folder to display.
Rating and comments. Allows you to assign ratings (one to five stars) and comments to individual albums. There is a new authorization category for this.
Home page. There is a new welcome page, displaying lists of random albums, highest rated albums, most often played albums
and most recently played albums.
Internet TV/radio. You can configure a set of links to Internet TV and radio stations. These links become available in the index on the left-hand side. Click on a link, and your player connects to the station.
Podcast. Saved playlists are now available as Podcasts (available from the "More" page).
Improved player management. Support multiple players with same IP address, and players with dynamic IP addresses. Display player type (e.g., WinAmp) and last-seen date.
WAP load playlist. Added option to load a previously saved playlist in the WAP interface.
Improved layout. Nicer layout, colors and icons.
Google Music. "Album Info" now integrates with Google Music.
Bugfix. Fallback to file name if ID3 tags are present but empty.
Bugfix. LAME now works on Linux.
Bugfix. Fix problem with playlist autoscroll on rearrange.
Thanks a lot
