State of Play

A quick update on the state of things for this website and its transitioning over from ye olde AbsolutelyBaching website (it's been three months already!) There are at least a couple of bits of good news, on what sometimes seems to be a neverending journey!

First, the Semplice documentation is now fully across and completely updated, to the point that it's actually describing version 2.12 which isn't scheduled to be out for another week or so! Whether that release stays on schedule is a little bit up in the air: I have yet to check that the installation works on macOS and to document it if it does. If it slips past January 31st, it won't slip far.

Secondly, with Semplice documentation out of the way, I've at last made a start on bringing across the Bach Cantatas catalogue. There's an enormously long way to go, including copying across all the cantata translations I did several years ago… but at least the work has begun! The Mozart and Vivaldi catalogues will come across after that work is complete.

A new Giocoso update is also on its way, with the ability to do album-level ReplayGain, bringing it inline with what many other media players do already (such as Foobar2000): it's in daily use here at the moment, so should be good to go within a few weeks.
