MegaSeg is a DJ music mixing program that allows you to consolidate your CD collection on the hard drive of your Macintosh. You can then segue (mix) between songs for a professional DJ presentation without the need for extra CD players or mixers. MegaSeg's scheduling features allow for prioritization of playback for certain songs or entire categories of music, coupled with the ability to start playlists and insert sound clip "jingles" at specified times. Elegant playlist rules allow the MegaSeg user to prevent two songs from the same artist playing too close together, a boon to music management. Radio stations, mobile DJs, restaurants and other businesses will find MegaSeg a powerful tool for creating dynamic playlists, music scheduling, and even automatically adjust the volume at different times of the day. For internet radio broadcasting, MegaSeg now updates playlist information on the fly for users of Live365.com, the popular broadcast streaming service.

New in v4.5.1

• Unified dialogs and windows with a blue background for more consistent look.
• Preview: Split-stereo preview mode works again when using the same output for Playlist and Preview/Cue.
• Optimized library display's track selection responsiveness, especially when the list is large.
• MIDI: Fixed a bug that prevented the default MIDI preset (Hercules RMX) from functioning unless you first selected another preset and switched back.
• MIDI Control Codes dialog's checkbox options now resize with window correctly.
• Logs: Opening the Logs window should no longer cause a dropout.
• Logs: MegaSeg now automatically moves log files older than 6 months into an Archived Logs sub-folder within the Logs folder.
• Logs: At startup it no longer logs opening the MegaSeg Events Backup file.
• Known Issue: When using output channels other than 1+2, playing a single-channel mono file will not route correctly, and default to channels 1+2 on a mutli-channel device. The workaround is to convert single-channel mono files to 2-channel mono (i.e. a stereo file with the original mono audio on both left + right channels).
• Keep All Drives Spinning code no longer affects server volumes.
• Importing: Optimized ID3 tag reading code about 30-50%, even while Time Machine is performing a backup.
• Importing: Optimized the iTunes Full-Scan and Import Folder functions. Scanning for new files is about 7x faster.
• Importing while search results are displayed will update the search results post-import.
• Import progress dialog got a makeover, with a nicer progress bar.
• Hot Keys: List selection can be used for library functions such as Edit, Preview, etc.
• Fixed a error when opening playlists created with older versions of MegaSeg.
• Fixed a bug that would prevent URL tracks created in the Scheduler from loading and playing.
• Fixed a bug that could cause an error adding tracks to the playlist with a library of more than 100,000 tracks.
• Export/Import Library As Text functions now include track color information.
• Events: Resized the Events tab settings to better fill the available window space.
• Events: Supports consolidating your Event List files inside an "Events" subfolder within the MegaSeg User Data folder. When starting this version, and you have files saved in the old location, it will ask if you want to move them into the new Events folder. Existing Load Event List events will still work without needing to be updated. However, if you switch back to an older version of MegaSeg, you will need to move the files back to the old location.
• Events: Open/Save Event List dialogs will now default to the new "Events" sub-folder if it exists within the MegaSeg User Data folder. Current event lists will continue to work with the full path data, if you choose to not use the new Events sub-folder. Newly created "Load Event List" events that are selected from within the new "Events" folder, will show only the filename in the event list (not the full path) to make it easier to view. You can also edit your existing Load Event List events to remove the path and leave just the filename (note this is not backward compatible with older versions of MegaSeg).
• Events: Missing file errors now report the name of the missing Event List file in the logs.
• Events: Fixed an issue that could cause unexpected results when using the Load Event List event to cycle between multiple event lists, and two consecutive event lists also contain "Before/After Category" or "Every X Segues" event triggers. It will no longer execute those events in the newly loaded event list until after the next segue has occurred.
• Events: Fixed a rare bug that could cause "After Category" events that are set to insert after a category that starts with a number to be mistaken for a daily time event shortly after midnight.
• Events: Fixed a bug in version 4.5 where the Set Time/Date dialog would not accept keystrokes to set the time field.
• Events: The "Before Category" event now works correctly when using the Insert Track/Category functions. It no longer inserts the track before and after the trigger category.
• Events: All "Load Event List" events are evaluated first, before any other time-based events, removing the possibility of them firing twice if other events exist with the same time in the newly loaded event list.
• Added UniqueID to log file format, and added the ability for Play History reports to match tracks by UniqueID. This means if a track is renamed after playing it can still be mapped.
• Updated the embedded PDF manual (rev3), available from the Help menu.
• Other minor interface improvements.
