Nemp 4.13.0

I try to improve little things with every version. But this time, there is a real new feature: Support for ReplayGain, so that tracks from different sources appear with the same (more or less) loudness. I hope it works as it should do. Nemp recognizes existing ReplayGain metadata in the files, but Nemp can calculate these values as well. However, this needs some time. Please read the documentation (F1) for further details.

Note: The Dutch and Russian translation files have not been updated yet. If you use these languages, some parts may appear in english for now.

New features in 4.13

• Support for ReplayGain: Automatically adjust the loudness of tracks from different sources
• Reworked window "File properties": Uniformly editing of metadata in different file formats, read/write support for more different chunks of data within the metadata, cover art for the media library can be changed
• Improved update notifier: Display some more information about the update
• New Skin: "Diablo"

Changes

• File format for *.gmp (media library) and *.npl-Files (playlists) changed. Media libraries and playlists created with Nemp 4.13 can't be opened with Nemp 4.12 or lower. Conversion to the new format will be done automatically.
• moved some dll-files to sub folders
• some improvements to the GUI (e.g. some tweaks in the display of the playlist, birthday notifier)
• "Track" can now be bigger than 255

Bugfixes

• cover art in the taskbar preview wasn't properly scaled in some cases
• fixed some minor memory leaks
• fixed some possible errors on some playlist operations while a background thread on the media library is running
• fixed a possible (but very unlikely and rare) crash while removing all files from the playlist
• some adjustment on parts of the code regarding meta data

Nemp 4.12.2b

Thanks to mrkaban, there is now a russian translation for Nemp.

For that, a few GUI adjustments has been made, so that the russian text fit in the GUI elements. Some elements are still too short - I'll try to fix that in the next regular update.

Note: If you don't need the russian translation, you don't need this release. Version 4.13 is already in work and will be published later this year. ;-)

Nemp 4.12.2

Bugfix

There was another bug similar to the one fixed in 4.11.1, which caused some trouble during startup on some systems. Now this kind of error should really not occur anymore ...

Nemp 4.12.1

Bugfix

• fixed possible exception while scanning for new files

Nemp 4.12.0

New features in 4.12

Obvious change is the Nemp Installer, which makes updating Nemp a lot easier. Just download the Setup.exe und follow the instructions, like in other setup programs as well. But of course you can still download the Zip archive and run Nemp without installation. Also new in 4.12:

• Smoother scanning of metadata: the player remains responsive while searching for new files.
• Added "wobble Playback" to the effects

Bugfixes:

• When re-reading all files, the main window behaved strangely with regard to resizing.
• Under certain circumstances it came to an unnecessary download of Coverart from the Internet
• Under very rare circumstances, parts of the metadata were unexpectedly overwritten.
• fixed icon for playlists in explorer, and (kinda) file type registration
• some minor bugfixes and adjustments in default settings

Nemp 4.11.1

Bugfix: Nemp did not start on some some systems due to some initialisation issues.

Nemp 4.11.0

The changes to the graphical user interface resulted in changes to many other parts of the code - for example party mode, single window view, and skin system. I hope I didn't miss anything and everythings works as it should.

Just download the archive, unzip and run "nemp.exe".

Changes in Nemp 4.11

• The layout of the main window can now be modified by using the Form designer. Thus, for example, a flat, wide coverflow can be displayed just as well as a rather narrow, high area for browsing in the classical view. And all without wasting too much space in the other parts of the main window.
• The control panel of the player has been redesigned. It is now more similar to the control panels in other players. There is more room for title information, and the general layout should look less crowded now.
  • player and headphone controls share the same place now, use the buttons on the left to switch between them
  • Display of the cover of the current title is smaller, but always visible
  • Display of the lyrics for the current title is dropped. Instead, the lyrics of the selected title (playlist or medialist) can be read in the file overview part now.
  • Controls for effects and equalizer moved to a separate window.
  • Removed the possibility to switch the scrolling title display between different informations (wasn't probably used anyway)
• Some changes and extensions to the skin system. Due to the new proportions of the control panel old skins may be incompatible and have to be adapted.
  • Background graphics can be defined for individual areas, various options for alignment
  • Bouncing bars in the taskbar preview removed. Instead more space for the title information and a small progress bar.
  • Use of some more skin colors also when the advanced skin system is used
• The sleep mode is no longer selected via a nested menu, but via a new dialog window.
• Minor changes to the display in the playlist: The default note symbol is no longer displayed. For titles with cue sheets, the individual entries are displayed without quotes.
• Deskband removed. It is still supported in principle, but since Nemp does not support Windows XP any more, and some other functions are not supported under XP, it is no longer included.

Nemp 4.10.0

Some small details required relatively extensive changes to the source code. I hope that everything works again - better than before.

Just download the archive, unzip and run "nemp.exe".

Changes and bug fixes in Nemp 4.10.0

• improved display of progress for longer lasting operations (updating library, searching lyrics, ...)
• using https instead of http (where it is possible)
• fixed and improved lyric search
• Party Mode is more restricted now, fixed some display issues
• a few mean bug fixes (some uncommon sequences of clicking buttons could have lead to crashing the player)
• fixed possible (but rather unlikely) data loss when getting lyrics or extended tags
• removing playlist files from the media library did not work

Nemp 4.9.2

• Fixed some issues with the displayed titles in the media list
• Setting for how the display of “marked files” works
• Quicksearch saves now the 10 most recent search terms
• Display of the current IP adresses in the settings dialog of the web server

Nemp 4.9.1

New in 4.9.1:

• Performance of the G15 display app significantly improved and thereby greatly reduced the CPU load.
