Hot of the heels of the previous release, Harmonic has been updated to version 2.3. Here’s what’s new:

• New, more compact, design for the options toolbar
• “Clear Lyrics” button now works correctly
• Additional international support for artists and titles with special characters in the name, like Mötorhead

Harmonic 2.3

After the jump, there’s a story! A boring story! For developers! Read the rest of this entry »

Harmonic has been updated to version 2.2.1. This is an extremely minor release and the only change is to simply report “Lyrics Not Found” when LyricWiki spits out its terrible errors like it has been prone to lately.

This should resolve the “Host ‘pedlfaster.pedlr.com’ is blocked because of many connection errors” issue.

Harmonic 2.2.1

You may have noticed that Harmonic recently hasn’t been able to find any new lyrics. This is because of an issue with LyricWiki, whose API, has stopped returning lyrics correctly. We’re hoping this will be fixed soon, and the next version of Harmonic will include a few backup lyrics sites in case of an issue with LyricWiki. We are, however, still looking for good lyrics websites to leverage in Harmonic besides LyricWiki. If anybody has any suggestions, we’d love to hear about them in the comments. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Edit (March 16): LyricWiki is operational again!

It’s only been a day or so since the last update, but we thought we should keep on a roll.

So, welcome to Harmonic 2.2. Here’s what’s new:

• New colors: indigo and pink
• Looks nicer when the lyrics are set to “Instrumental”
• Fixed issue where preferences button was hidden on some color schemes
• Preferences button is now on the left
• More reliably finds lyrics under alternate names and through LyricWiki redirects
• Fixed an issue with ColorSync that could cause Harmonic to look funny on some monitor setups
• Made the “Update Available” banner more obviously clickable
• Tweaked preferences layout

Please download the new version and enjoy!

Harmonic has been broken for a while, but it’s finally fixed with version 2.1.1!

In case you’re wondering why the odd number leap, version 2.1 came out last night, but there was an issue with Tiger compatibility, but that’s been fixed.

This version is fully compatible with the latest versions of Tiger and Leopard.

The newest version of Harmonic is hot off the presses. It features an updated design and an extensively rewritten engine that should find more lyrics and leak less memory. Hooray!
