The application takes less to load, so the searches are truly instant snapshots, and the scrolling is done in a more clean. For its part, the consumption of RAM does not appear to have declined substantially.

In addition, we have a number of new features, such as the power to add the covers of albums by Drag & Drop (as in iTunes), or use a smart list as a rule to create another smart list (for example, creating a smartlist with all the songs in our library that are not in a list, but if you are in another).

Another important novelty is that now used as a framework GStreamer multiemdia default (this was already included in earlier versions but are only used to open FLAC files). Incorporates new keyboard shortcuts, and add a shortcut to go to the physical location of each song.
