A few fixes are required in order for Beatler to run happily under Lion. These fixes are included in version 1.5.2 of Beatler which is available now to non Mac App Store users via the in-app update process.

If you are using the Mac App Store version of Beatler, the 1.5.2 update has been submitted and is currently in review by Apple. So hopefully it should be available in the next couple of days.

Update 1 – The MAS version has now been approved.

Please check out the following forum post for a workaround…

There shall be a new release in the next day or so containing this fix.

Here is the complete change log for this release:

1.6.0 RC2

[FEATURE] Improved template images for the artwork tagger.
[FIXED] Download folder naming was using the track name rather than the release name for the “Release Name” value.
[FIXED] Of interest Labels are highlighted again.
[FIXED] Insertion indicator is now white when editing a crate name.
[FIXED] Random app lockups due to invalid object bindings.

1.6.0 RC1

[FEATURE]*Advanced download folder path and file naming has been implemented which provides a comprehensive mechanism to customise folder path and file names for downloaded tracks.
[FEATURE]*Table rows can now be highlighted with a configurable colours depending on their state set via Preferences.
[FEATURE]*Small style tweaks such as new 10.7 styled scroll bars.
[FEATURE]*Each table item has now been split into individual columns to make sorting easier.
[FEATURE]*You can now change some basic style settings such as Font size and boldness via Preferences.
[FEATURE]*Where possible the Growl notifications now contain album artwork instead of the default Beatler icon.
[FEATURE]*The dock icon now changes colour depending on the state of the player.
[FEATURE]*The amount the player scans through a track is now configurable via Preferences.
[FEATURE]*The search sub filter now takes into account as much metadata as possible. This includes data such as artists, labels and genre names.
[FEATURE]*New in app short cuts that don’t need a modifier key have been added for player scan forward/backwards and next/previous tracks.
[FIXED]*Track length text was displayed in black.
[FIXED]*Double click near the title bar did not minimise the main window.
[FIXED]*Of Interest updates could fail due to internal conflicts between background tasks.
[FIXED]*Of Interest would always default to checking the past 7 days if the last update time was reset. *This now takes into account the “Limit check to items released up to” preference.
[FIXED]*Dragging files to be tagged onto the dock icon would not always activate the main window.
[FIXED]*Alfred initiated searches would not always activate Beatler and bring the main window to the front.
[FIXED]*Discount prices are now taken into account.
[FIXED]*Files currently being downloaded now have .part appended to the filename in order to avoid confusion or a user moving a file during the download.

Just a short post to let you know that Beatler 1.5.1 is now available via the Mac App Store and the in-app update process.  This release provides the following fixes:

[FIXED] Scoller position for the tracks table view was not going back to the top when selecting a different release.
[FIXED] Of Interest un-viewed indicator image alignment.
[FIXED] Restored PPC support.
[FIXED] Beatler could playback 2 tracks at once for a short period when scanning/jumping quickly through tracks.
[FIXED] The Of Interest option for checking for updates every hour has been removed. This is because releases are only added to the system once a day and this was causing some issues where Beatler would not always detect new releases.
[FIXED] The Mac App Store version of Beatler was limiting the number of items that could be imported when syncing with your Beatport crate.

[FIXED]

P.S. If a you are a Mac OS X 10.5 user or you own a PPC machine don’t be upset as we will still continue to release the app via our own store.

The other major feature included in this release is the ability to quickly and easily share the contents of your crates with others.
