There's an update version of the Media Jukebox 9.0 preview here, but FIRST PLEASE READ THIS:

IMPORTANT-- This is only a preview -- some things don't work, some things crash, and your data may not be safe. Don't use this preview with files that can't be replaced. If you don't consider yourself an expert with Media Jukebox, please wait for a later release. Backup your database (and files) before doing anything else.

You may also have to delete your .jmd (database files) from the folder: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\Data or similar. You will lose your playlists.

If you're not trembling with fear yet, you can get it here:

Some of the major changes in this preview:

Added optional album grouping (only in lists where order isn't important like Media Library)
Added "Export All Playlists" option
Fixed the "failed to update tags" messages.
Filenaming templates changed to support any fields (example: use [ARTIST] instead of ARTIST)
Lots and lots of speed improvements and bug fixes.

Thanks everyone.

(note: Old version 9.0 preview Media Libraries will not work with this preview. The library data format will not be finalized for a couple of builds, so be prepared to erase and re-import with each new preview)
