  You can dock the CD-player to any border of the screen (Docking mode). The player hides automatically if the mouse cursor leaves the window.

  The database was extended by two new standard fields. You can now enter the "recording year" for CDs and tracks. Additionaly there is the new field called "copyright" for CDs.
   
• Better audio extraction (Ripping) support
  The ripping engine was completely re-designed. Hence the audio extraction is possible without ASPI driver (only Windows 2000/XP). You now get a much better performace and Jitter-correction.
   
• CD-Text support
  CD-Text CDs will be supported now. If the CD contains information like artist or title, Hitbase reads them directly from the CD.
  Please note: Not all CD drives are able to read CD-Text information.

  Create HTML pages from your catalog. You can choose your own HTML templates and publish the created HTML files to your private homepage.

• Extended filter functions
  New extended filter functions offer a more extensive way to search for specific CDs or tracks.

  The contents of particular field can be transfered to any other field. E.g. if you have stored the recording year in a user-defined field before, you can now transfer this automatically to the new standard field "recording year".
   
• Additional import filter
  It is now possible to convert the offline version of the Hitbase CD-Archiv (www.cdarchiv.de) to a Hitbase catalog. Thus you are able to save the snapshot of the online archive to your local hard disk, convert it to the Hitbase format and quarry unhurriedly in the huge database.
