New in Nemp 5

Version 5 starts a new chapter in Nemp and large parts of the code have been rewritten for it.

The biggest visible change is the introduction of Categories in the media library. This allows you to divide the media library into different sections. You can customize these categories according to your needs. The former separation into two lists (e.g. artists and albums) in the tree view has been replaced by a new tree structure, in which several sort orders can now be used in parallel - you can also customize these according to your wishes.

In addition, the arrangement of the individual areas is now more freely configurable, and all elements (except for Controls and Playlist) can be optionally hidden. The functionality of Drag&Drop has been extended, and the settings dialog has been greatly revised.

In the Media Library, the properties "Album Artist", "Composer" and "BPM (Beats per Minute)" are now also processed and stored. The album artist can be preferred when categorizing by "Artist".

On the other hand, the automatic search for lyrics has been dropped. This has always been kind of a gray area. After the community-based LyricWiki was shut down, I don't see any way to continue offering this feature. It is now reduced to automatically generated URLs to AZLyrics.com or search queries to various search engines. From there the text can be copied manually.

About the Beta

This is a beta release. If you find a bug (something is not working, something seems wrong, typos, grammar, whatever!), please report it here on GitHub, or send me an e-Mail to mail@gausi.de

For now, only the zip archive is available. For the actual release, I will add an installer as an alternative download.

Known issues

(last updated: 10.02.2022)

  • Unless you explicitly set "German" as language, the english Help will be used
  • The Update dialog doesn't have a reasonable minimum size for resizing
  • With the default settings, a click on "OK" in the settings dialog will trigger a "Save changes?" message, even if no changes were made at all.
  • Default MainForm position may collide with installed ToolBars
