features and
ease of use.
This release is the latest in a series of beta releases on
our way to
the future stable release of Aqualung 1.0. It adds

* Aqualung 0.9beta7
http://aqualung.sf.net
This release introduces important new features and
bugfixes.
Main reasons for upgrading:
* CD Audio support, complete with CDDB, CD-Text, etc. You
can play
Audio CDs directly, or rip them to WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis
or MP3
(CBR/VBR, gapless via LAME) complete with tagging, on
the fly.
* Revamped Music Store Builder: better operation, greater
flexibility.
* Support FFmpeg library enabling the recognition of
numerous formats
e.g. AC3, AAC, WMA, WavPack, and the soundtrack of many
video files.
* Replaygain support for APEv2 tags.
* Ability to set looping range when looping a single file.
Should be
useful for people playing along a recording, trying to
learn phrases
of a song.
* Adding music to the playlist is now a non-blocking,
interruptible
background operation.
* Drag-and-drop files from external sources (Nautilus,
Konqueror, etc)
into the Aqualung playlist.
* Several critical memory leak fixes.
* Numerous GUI refinements; fixed some rare bugs in
engine, too.
* Support for building against the new FLAC 1.1.3 API.
* Aqualung operates correctly on bigendian systems (32 and
64 bit).
* Running natively on MS Windows. A port of TAP-plugins is
included
in the installer. See http://aqualung.sf.net/w
in32 for more.
NEW LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES:
All of these are optional; Aqualung will build without
them,
disabling the functionality they provide.
* libcdio >= 0.76 is required for CD audio support.

rg/software/libcdio/
* libvorbisenc for ripping into Ogg Vorbis.
http://www.xiph.org/o
gg/vorbis/
* libmp3lame for ripping into MP3.
