New open source key detection tool

[ibsh]

I've thought about it, but I really couldn't say. The computation is already pretty strongly multi-threaded, so I suppose multi-core might be simpler than otherwise. But I don't know much about the processes or challenges involved. Interested to learn though. Might begin research over the holidays.

A new release is available, including:

* Multicore support (thanks GeekGod ). Batch jobs should now be much faster, though your CPU fan may get a little noisy.
* Fix for handling of Comment tags on FLAC files (not an issue for Serato users, obv).

Next priorities:
* Get a 32-bit Mac build working
* One day, fix the Windows build

As ever, shout if you have any issues. And if any interested devs are lurking, I could use some help with the Windows build.

[ibsh]

New version 1.1.8 is now available, featuring:
* more stable multicore performance
* the option to disable parallel processing, to reduce CPU load
* support for iTunes XML libraries and playlists
* boring bug fixes.

Shout if you have any question, problems, feature requests.
This update is Mac only at present, apologies to Windows heads.

All right!
Will try it out for the first time tonight, thanks for being awesome!

Nice work!

looking forward to check it out in the next couple of days

Today I'm releasing KeyFinder version 1.1.9.
Features include:
* GUI enhancements including live tag updating and simpler Preferences window
* option to write to multiple tags
* option to skip files where tags already populated
* parallel (faster) metadata reading for big batch jobs
* use of keycodes in detailed analysis window
* support for Japanese charsets (on the Mac, at least)
* CLI (sort of) and drop-to-dock-icon (Mac)
* all kinds of bug fixes

And this version brings Windows into line with the Mac release, feature wise. I'm sure there are still bugs to iron out but I think it should be more stable now.

Feedback welcome as always. Enjoy.
