Dave:

'''“Rogue”''' builds are ones i make between releases, that may be incomplete, or are intended to get a feature request or critical bug fix out to a select customer.

The links below may or may not work at any given time: if i've recently directed you here, and you click a link and get a 404 (file not found), that probably means i've since made an official release, which you can get from the main [{{SERVER}}/product_downloads downloads] page.

Hosted Purchase

2026-09-09T20:40:36Z

Dave: add PayPal email mismatch link

You have been sent here to purchase kJams or one of its plugins.

In another open web browser tab, with the title "'''Checkout'''" (the URL being "pay.paddle.io"), you should see the purchase window, it looks like this: 
<img src="https://karaoke.kjams.com/screenshots/web-purchase/hosted-screenz.png" width="30%"> 

You can change the language of the user interface by clicking the button (link) at the lower left.

==Follow these steps==
# in general, there '''''are no coupons''''', but if you HAVE a coupon (for like a bug fix), click "'''Add discount code'''" and paste in your coupon. (See red circle in above screen shot)
# complete the purchase, then you can close the web browser tab
# go back to kJams and it should automatically self-register! You're Done!!

==If purchase succeeded but something went wrong with self-register==
# go to your email and find your serial number (it was automatically sent to you)
# select it, then right click it or go to the Edit menu, and pick Copy
# go back to kJams, you should see a dialog asking you to complete the purchase, just hit cancel
# In the Help menu, pick "Enter Serial Number" dialog will come up
# Your serial number should already be showing. If not, right click and paste
# check that it is good, and hit OK!

You should be good to go!

==If you paid with PayPal==
PayPal often uses a different email than the one in kJams Preferences. If self-activation failed and the dialog asked "Did you use PayPal?", see [[PayPal Email]].

If you have trouble, [[Enter_Serial_Number|see this article]].

PayPal Email

2026-09-09T20:40:23Z

Dave: add PayPal email mismatch recovery steps

When you pay with '''PayPal''', Paddle records the email address on your '''PayPal account'''. That is often a ''different'' address than the one you typed into kJams.

kJams looks up your new subscription using the email stored in Preferences. If those two addresses don't match, self-activation can't find the purchase, and you get a "Subscription Not Found" dialog.

==What to do==
# Log into [https://www.paypal.com/ PayPal] and find the email address on the account you paid with (PayPal '''Settings''' → '''Account''')
# In kJams, open '''Preferences''' and click the '''Store''' panel
# Click '''Edit e-mail address?'''
# Enter the PayPal email address and hit OK
# Click the '''License''' panel
# Click '''Recover'''
# kJams will send a recovery request for that PayPal address. Watch that inbox for a summary of your subscriptions. You can also use '''Enter ID''' with the Subscription ID from your Paddle receipt.

Once the PayPal email is the one kJams is tracking, Recover (or a fresh purchase-complete OK) can find the subscription.

If you still have trouble, [https://karaoke.kjams.com/contact/ please contact] Slīthy Toves Media.

<links_dropbox=subs+per+x32/>

----
* maybe this will be the last 32bit build
* BIG Updates to 64bit:
** Mac: Fat build (both ARM and Intel)

** Microphone Playthrough
** '''Transparent Video'''
** stop-between-tracks no longer messes up rotation
** when finding missing song, present file dialog at last known location

** Diacritic Insensitive search actually works!
* Another big thing: '''kJams Subscriptions''' are ready:
** '''HomeParty''' (replaces Lite) and comes with Burning Plugin!
** '''NightClub''' (replaces Pro / 2)
** NightClub has '''MCP''' server!!! OMG?
** YouTube Music Store (free) available in HomeParty and NightClub (still working on it)
* the "Database is Dirty" flag was not working correctly, it is fixed now
* omg Paddle for 32bit mac was busted how did i not know? it's fixed again

* started work on "Rebuild but Preserve Singers / Playlists" feature
* Windows: the KaraokeCloud banner that shows you what new songs are coming up: would only show top left quarter of image, rest of it off screen! fixed!
* fixed mojibake in some menus that had "…"

* NightClub: Install MCP from Preferences (with your consent), auto-configure Cursor, and wait until after the splash screen so startup stays smooth; Server prefs show Node version / Update
* Windows 64-bit installers remove prior matching editions (including older 32-bit of the same product) before installing, so upgrades are cleaner
* fix hang when quitting after Backup Complete (especially HomeParty and Lite)
* fix crash that could happen while quitting during shutdown
* Windows: closing the main window (X) or quitting after an update now reliably exits the app
* Switching from perpetual to a subscription: clearer upsell, Monthly/Yearly prices, and in-app download of the right edition (Lite → HomeParty, Pro / kJams 2 → NightClub), then quit so the installer can run

Dave: replace WinAppHelper .app stubs with prlexec .command launchers

The coordinator ('''taurus''', a Mac VM on '''sugarbear''') cannot SSH into a Windows guest and land in the current GUI login session. On the Parallels '''hardware host''', <code>prlexec</code> runs a <code>.bat</code> inside that host's Windows guest desktop session (a visible cmd window).

Mac wrappers are plain <code>.command</code> scripts in Perforce. They call <code>prlexec_win_gui.sh</code>. Do not copy Command Prompt.app or edit <code>AppParams.pva</code>.

Store the launchers here (this is what Python <code>open</code>s):

<pre>xplat/proj/win/_scripts/</pre>

<code>prlexec</code> is part of Parallels Desktop Pro/Business (<code>/usr/local/bin/prlexec</code> on bobina and sugarbear).

Dave: match 2023 recipe: names, GetInfoString, APP Path; do not change CFBundleIdentifier

The coordinator ('''taurus''', a Mac VM on '''sugarbear''') cannot SSH into a Windows guest and land in the current GUI login session. Parallels "Windows Apps" (WinAppHelper stubs) are Mac <code>.app</code> bundles that, when '''opened on the hardware host''', launch a <code>.bat</code> inside that host's Windows guest session.

Create each stub '''on the hardware that owns the VM''' (bobina for luna-pc, sugarbear for taurus-pc). Do not create them on pandora. The VM UUID is baked into <code>AppParams.pva</code>; a stub made on the wrong Mac will not talk to the build guest.

Store finished stubs here (this is what Python opens):

== Sugarbear (taurus-pc, scripted) ==

The three taurus-pc stubs are created by <code>create_sugarbear_winapphelpers.py</code>, which follows the recipe below (the same steps as [[Special:PermanentLink/13270|December 2023]], with today's guest names and <code>_scripts</code> paths). sugarbear's <code>/usr/bin/python3</code> is an Xcode license stub, so run the script on '''taurus''' (it SSHes to sugarbear only to copy the live Command Prompt). The <code>.sh</code> wrapper on sugarbear hops to taurus.

<pre>
python3 /Volumes/Developer/depot/kJams/Development/xplat/python/create_sugarbear_winapphelpers.py --dry-run
python3 /Volumes/Developer/depot/kJams/Development/xplat/python/create_sugarbear_winapphelpers.py
</pre>

That copies the live Parallels '''Command Prompt''' app for taurus-pc (Helper Version 27 as of 2026-09) and points <code>APP Path</code> at the bats in the table. Precise recipe: depot <code>xplat/python/create_sugarbear_winapphelpers.md</code>.

taurus-pc must be running. Do not run the script on pandora or bobina. After creating the stubs, copy them into the depot <code>xplat/proj/win\_scripts/</code> tree and '''submit''' — they belong in Perforce. <code>open</code> on sugarbear uses taurus's disk (sugarbear mounts it). Always <code>p4 sync</code> '''taurus''' after a pandora submit.

Bobina is not scripted: Parallels there is version-locked for luna.

== Recipe (one stub, manual) ==

This is the [[Special:PermanentLink/13270|2023 sequence]] that produced working apps. Do it '''on bobina''' for <code>Build kJams luna-pc.app</code> (and anywhere you are not using the sugarbear script). The Windows guest must be running and logged into the GUI session you want the build to use.

# On the hardware host, open the Parallels "Windows applications" folder for '''that''' guest (bobina: luna-pc Applications; sugarbear: taurus-pc Applications).
## If you cannot find it: Parallels → Configure → Options → Applications → enable "Show Windows applications folder in Dock". Dock icon → Reveal in Finder.
# Copy '''Command Prompt''' to the Desktop.
# Rename the copy to the '''exact bundle name''' from the table (without <code>.app</code> if Finder hides it), e.g. <code>Build kJams luna-pc</code>.
# Right-click → Show Package Contents.
# Edit <code>Contents/Info.plist</code>:
#* Change <code>CFBundleGetInfoString</code> so it '''ends with''' the <code>App Path</code> from the table (the <code>Z:\...\ _scripts\....bat</code> line).
#* Change <code>CFBundleName</code> to the exact bundle name without <code>.app</code>.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings</code>: set both <code>CFBundleName</code> and <code>CFBundleDisplayName</code> to that same name.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/AppParams.pva</code>: set <code>APP Path</code> (or <code>App Path</code>) to the same <code>Z:\...</code> bat path.
# Close out, put the finished <code>.app</code> into <code>/Volumes/Developer/depot/kJams/Development/xplat/proj/win/_scripts/</code> (same path on the host via the Developer share).
# You only need the manual copy once on bobina (<code>Build kJams luna-pc.app</code>). sugarbear's three stubs come from the Python script above.

Do '''not''' edit <code>CFBundleIdentifier</code>. Leave it as Parallels wrote it on Command Prompt.

== Hop (what taurus actually does) ==

* '''Win32 build:''' taurus SSHes to '''bobina''' and <code>open</code>s <code>Build kJams luna-pc.app</code> → luna-pc runs <code>build.bat</code>.

The <code>.sh</code> wrapper on sugarbear hops to taurus.

taurus-pc must be running. Do not run the script on pandora or bobina. After creating the stubs, copy them into the depot <code>xplat/proj/win/_scripts/</code> tree and '''submit''' — they belong in Perforce. <code>open</code> on sugarbear uses taurus's disk (sugarbear mounts it). Always <code>p4 sync</code> '''taurus''' after a pandora submit.

Bobina is not scripted: Parallels there is version-locked for luna.

== Recipe (one stub, manual) ==

Do this '''on bobina''' for <code>Build kJams luna-pc.app</code> (and anywhere you are not using the sugarbear script). The Windows guest must be running and logged into the GUI session you want the build to use. This is the original 2013 sequence; later edits dropped the identifier line.

# On the hardware host, open the Parallels "Windows applications" folder for '''that''' guest (bobina: luna-pc Applications; sugarbear: taurus-pc Applications).
## If you cannot find it: Parallels → Configure → Options → Applications → enable "Show Windows applications folder in Dock". Dock icon → Reveal in Finder.

#* <code>CFBundleName</code> = the exact bundle name without <code>.app</code>.
#* <code>CFBundleIdentifier</code>: insert the stub name immediately after <code>com.parallels.winapp.</code> (hyphenate spaces; a reverse-DNS id cannot contain spaces). The 2013 page said: add <code>.Build kJams</code> just after <code>.winapp</code>. Example: <code>com.parallels.winapp.b7210c99…</code> becomes <code>com.parallels.winapp.Build-kJams-luna-pc.b7210c99…</code>. '''Do not leave the live Command Prompt identifier''' — Launch Services / Parallels will reuse that helper and ignore this stub's <code>APP Path</code>. Also set the identifier in <code>English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings</code> if that file has one.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings</code>: set both <code>CFBundleName</code> and <code>CFBundleDisplayName</code> to that same name.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/AppParams.pva</code>: set <code>APP Path</code> (or <code>App Path</code>) to the same <code>Z:\...</code> bat path. Confirm <code>VM Name</code> is luna-pc or taurus-pc as appropriate.
# Move the finished <code>.app</code> into <code>/Volumes/Developer/depot/kJams/Development/xplat/proj/win/_scripts/</code> (same path on the host via the Developer share).

Dave: WinAppHelper stubs belong in Perforce after creating on sugarbear

<code>build.bat</code> picks VS 2019 on <code>LUNA-PC</code> and VS 2022 elsewhere, then runs <code>win_build.py</code>.

Old names that Python no longer opens (leave them until the new stubs exist, then delete): <code>Build kJams Luna.app</code>, <code>Build kJams Taurus.app</code>, <code>code sign Taurus.app</code>, <code>code sign path Taurus.app</code>, <code>Build kJams Bobina.app</code>, <code>Build kJams Pandora.app</code>, <code>Build kJams.app</code>, <code>code sign.app</code>.

== Recipe (one stub) ==

Do this '''on bobina''' (for luna-pc) or '''on sugarbear''' (for taurus-pc). The Windows guest must be running and logged into the GUI session you want the build to use.

# On the hardware host, open the Parallels "Windows applications" folder for '''that''' guest (bobina: luna-pc Applications; sugarbear: taurus-pc Applications).
## If you cannot find it: Parallels → Configure → Options → Applications → enable "Show Windows applications folder in Dock". Dock icon → Reveal in Finder.
# Copy '''Command Prompt''' to the Desktop.
# Rename the copy to the '''exact bundle name''' from the table (without <code>.app</code> if Finder hides it), e.g. <code>Build kJams luna-pc</code>.
# Right-click → Show Package Contents.
# Edit <code>Contents/Info.plist</code>:
#* <code>CFBundleGetInfoString</code> must '''end with''' the <code>App Path</code> from the table (the <code>Z:\...\ _scripts\....bat</code> line).
#* <code>CFBundleName</code> = the exact bundle name without <code>.app</code>.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings</code>: set both <code>CFBundleName</code> and <code>CFBundleDisplayName</code> to that same name.
# Edit <code>Contents/Resources/AppParams.pva</code>: set <code>APP Path</code> (or <code>App Path</code>) to the same <code>Z:\...</code> bat path. Confirm <code>VM Name</code> is luna-pc or taurus-pc as appropriate.
# Move the finished <code>.app</code> into <code>/Volumes/Developer/depot/kJams/Development/xplat/proj/win/_scripts/</code> (same path on the host via the Developer share).
# Repeat for each row in the table (four stubs total: one on bobina, three on sugarbear).
# After creating them, add the new bundles to Perforce on the machine where you created them (or copy the bundle onto pandora's depot tree and <code>p4 add</code> there).

== Hop (what taurus actually does) ==

* '''Win32 build:''' taurus SSHes to '''bobina''' and <code>open</code>s <code>Build kJams luna-pc.app</code> → luna-pc runs <code>build.bat</code>.
* '''Win64 build:''' taurus SSHes to '''sugarbear''' and <code>open</code>s <code>Build kJams taurus-pc.app</code> → taurus-pc runs <code>build.bat</code>.
* '''USB code sign (from luna-pc or taurus Mac):''' SSH to '''sugarbear''' and <code>open</code> <code>code sign taurus-pc.app</code> or <code>code sign path taurus-pc.app</code>.
* '''Mac32:''' taurus SSHes to '''luna''' and <code>open</code>s <code>publish.command</code> / <code>rogue.command</code> (no WinAppHelper).
* '''Mac64:''' taurus spawns a local Terminal worker with <code>KJAMS_WORKER=1</code>.

Subscription

2026-09-05T18:01:01Z

Dave:

Staring now (Aug 2026), '''kJams''' is switching to a "'''Subscription Licensing'''". Perpetual licenses are no longer available for purchase.

Note however that you are '''free to continue using''' your existing '''perpetual license''', which will never be revoked. However, no new development will be done on these legacy (perpetual) editions, only critical bug fixes for a time. Legacy support will continue for about 6 months. However, a future OS update may render the old app unable to run.

Currently, the '''Patreon''' subscription is not related to '''licensing'''. ie: if you subscribe to Patreon, it won't cause kJams to have a license, and if you unsubscribe, it won't remove your existing perpetual license.

The new system ("'''Paddle'''") WILL manage your license. The new editions will be '''HomeParty''' (equivalent to Lite + Burning), and '''NightClub''' (equivalent to Pro/2).

I'm doing this in order to make my income sustainable, so that I can retire from my day job and work on kJams full time. Without subscriptions, '''[http://slithytoves.com/ Slīthy Toves Media]''' and therefore '''kJams''' would go out of business.
==Tiers==
* '''HomeParty''': (equivalent to Lite): is $8 per month: Includes 1 hour of ETS
* '''NightClub''': (equivalent to Pro/2): is $16 per month: Includes 2 hours of ETS

This actually works out okay: If you use NightClub only 3 months per year, then it only costs you $45 per year. Want to use it just for one month? That's $16. Next time you subscribe, you get ALL the latest updates. If you use it full time, then the yearly cost is about the same as a yearly upgrade. Another example: for a Lite user who only throws a Christmas and a New Year's party, you only pay $8!

==Start Subscribing Now==
If you're subscribing using kJams now, then you should unsubscribe from Patreon. To do so, [https://www.patreon.com/kJams please click here], log into your Patreon user, go to your patrons, and unsubscribe or lower your donation to kJams.

==Enterprise Tech Support (ETS)==
For Subscribers only.

This includes talking on the phone 1:1 and doing screen sharing so that I can personally coach you and fix whatever problems are occurring with kJams.

For HomeParty, you get 1 hour for free each month. For NightClub, you get 2 hours for free each month. More time than that will be Paid Tech Support (see below), on a sliding scale. Note that unused minutes do NOT roll over to the next month (otherwise for each Pro user who didn't call me for a year, they could demand several DAYS of FULL TIME work from me, and I just can't do that).

==Paid Tech Support==
For those who choose NOT to switch to Subscription or who have used their free hour(s) from ETS:

'''phone and screen sharing time:''' $20 - $80 per hour, pro-rated per minute. The "sliding fee scale" depends on your circumstances and how much you think it's worth. Hopefully you value my time. Note that i'm not really here to teach basic computer skills.

[[Tech_Support|More info here]].

==Free Tech Support==
Email & Text chat Tech Support are always free, as long as it doesn't start taking up all of my time

Also, if you call about a problem that turns out to be a bug, ie: my fault, then there will be NO CHARGE. I may spend hours on your computer trying to track down the problem, there will be no charge for that at all.

Serial Number

2026-08-31T03:01:32Z

Dave: /* Where is my Serial Number license file located? */

Update: What was called a '''Serial Number''' for perpetual licenses is now called a '''Subscription ID'''
for the subscription license, but they behave similarly.

* A '''license''' grants you ONE serial number
* One serial number may be used to '''activate''' two computers (Mac or Windows doesn't matter)
* One license is intended for one person (ie: you can not give your second '''activation''' to another person)
* To activate your second computer, run kJams and go "Help->Enter Serial Number" then use "[http://lifehacker.com/5801525/help-new-pc-users-learn-how-to-copy-cut-and-paste copy and paste]" to paste your serial number
* To deactivate a computer (say, to move to another computer, or before you reformat your computer), run kJams and go "Help->Deactivate"
* Licenses do not "float" but they '''are''' [[Transferring|transferable]]. In other words, if you've used up your two activations, and you wish to move to a new computer, you must deactivate one computer, so you can activate the new one.

==Activations are tied to your computer==
Your serial number may stop working if any of the following happens:
* You replace or reformat your startup drive
* You replace your networking card (ethernet)
* Your Operating System makes a major change (eg: going from 10.4 to 10.5 can sometimes cause a deactivation)
* You switch to a different computer.
* your computer goes "in for repair"
If your kJams goes back to "(Tryout)" mode for any reason, simply contact me and I'll reset your activations.

==Where is my Serial Number license file located?==
Your Serial Number file is located in the preferences folder in your home folder.

Mac: <home folder>/Library/Preferences/kJams/...
Win: <home folder>/AppData/Roaming/Preferences/kJams/...

Then inside that folder will be "'''kJams X Serial Number.plist'''" or "'''kJams Y Subscription ID.plist'''"

The easy way to get there is simply to run kJams, and go "Help->Reveal Preferences".

You can send this file to your backup computer to activate it, or transfer it to a new computer, just put it in the same place.

==Further Info==
* What to do if your SN [[Serial_Number_Stopped_Working|stops working]]
* If it gets [[Activations|stuck in Tryout Mode]] no matter what you do.
* When you buy kJams, you do '''not''' need to [[Enter Serial Number|Enter the Serial Number]]

* kJams Pro/2, with Server turned on, now has MCP capability, you can use it from Cursor. note it is preliminary and may not work easily just yet

* fix crash when updating music stores
* corrected SQL syntax in many places, related to column key names, this might fix some database corruption bugs!
* kJams usually needs to license check once a month, but there are exceptions for mac. There can now be exceptions on windows
* fix asserts and crashes regarding sort columns that have keys shorter than 4 chars: eg: "Bio "
* on mac 64bit, there's an option to use the QtFramework Open dialog. doesn't really work so don't turn it on in the prefs
* some dialogs had a "Change???" button, this is now fixed to say "Change…"
* in dialogs, text edit and text view widgets now have a more contrasty outline so you can actually see them

* on the very first run of kJams:
** your windows will place in a nicer way
** your prefs will be set to NOT “skip silence at start of song”
* Windows: audio actually works again for reals
* Mac: you get a new icon so we're no longer in icon jail
* 64bit: updated Qt to 6.10 beta (did this fix audio silence on Windows?)
* 32bit: play_pause_rotation is now also available in python
* fixed hard-coded download links (again?)
* in the '''Window''' menu there is a new command “Gather” which will ensure all your windows are onscreen
* fix crash on quit
* sometimes when renaming a singer or playlist, it would APPEAR to revert to the original name when you commit the new name, although behind the scenes it would be correct (and a restart would fix it). I've added an extra "refresh" call and hope this fixes the problem

* for App developers (ie: kJams Cue):
** we now send notification that a playlist has changed (add/remove/reorder etc), and that Tempo has changed
** there is now a "play pause" command that ONLY operates on the Rotation, rather than "the current playlist", which may be different. I'll add a pref that lets you bypass that if you WANT the remote control to operate on the "current" playlist
* there's a DB corruption bug that mixes up columns, ie: the "price" column may have the "comment" data or somesuch. We're working on it. This corruption was previously silent, but now it will be reported. I'm sure i'll get bug reports on that, sorry for the hassle

* CQtVideo: turn off assert that "secondsF" is already set in CQtVideoFile::CreateMovie
* CSong: can again play CDG with no audio (with secret pref turned on)
* fsref: trying to debug why we can't open the DB on startup, no progress
* KJDb: use constant not magic number
* no longer crash when using “recover serial number”

* 64bit: keyboard shortcuts work again when video window is in front (oops!)
* 64bit kJams 2: "[[Songless Singers]]" is now in the prefs panel
* zip file meta data always encodes as UTF8
* kJams now saves the xml sidecar file. somehow it got shut off.
* some meta data columns (numeric) would fail to fill out
* kJams will prompt you to update your database (re-save all your xml files, which is the same thing as push-meta). we do this as a precautionary measure since things were not being written for a while and we don't want you to lose any data)
* you now get an alert any time a database query fails
* scrolling is faster (either by mouse wheel or drag-thumb)
* when quitting, the "Compressing Backup" phase is launched separately in the background, no longer waiting for it to complete before exiting

* mac: added entitlement for enabling applescript (so you can send log files again? maybe?)
* no longer report with words like "unzipping" when updating, it's called "installer" now
* fixed a crash when attempting to display a number value with a lot of digits (eg: a very small number like 1e-32)
* fixed crash on startup related to logging (when saving a playlist) (%n!)
* when launching, loading (lots of) singers gets a progress bar, instead of seeming to stall on loading playlists
* 64bit:
** no longer immediately repainting table view when tabbing over it (performance improvement)
** streaming songs is fixed for both streaming stores
** fixed intermittent video lag (when audio keeps going)
** audio decoder will now detect if it couldn't decode and will fail gracefully, and use the backup system (demux) rather than hang
** when removing (last?) song from playlist, table view should refresh (song finishes playing in rotation or "tonight")
** when quitting, kjams always backs up your DB, but now it tells you what it's doing: backing up, compressing. so you're not wondering why it seems to have stalled

* fixed hang on quit
* fixed startup hang at "rebuilding venues", actually it's about updating the server resources
* fixed rare crash: progress dialogs can sometimes pile up on top of each other. sometimes an underneath one finishes before a newer one has. this could cause a crash.
* fix crash if "check version" runs right at shutdown time
* if, when logging into a music store, you hit "deny" on the keychain dialog, it won't bring up the credit card dialog (that was weird)
* little speaker icons next to volume slider are now HiDPI
* Windows:
** Timezone calculations finally work. The "playlist end time" (actual time of day this playlist will finish) time readout at the bottom of the main browser window is now correct no matter what your time zone or DST
** "playlist end time" refreshes if you change your clock, time zone, or DST
** you can now select multiple files in the import dialog
* 64bit stuff:
** Mac: Dark Mode!
** Mac: buttons in the "ok/cancel" dialog look like mac buttons
** Windows: progress bar hilight is tweaked a bit
** under Qt6 (not released yet, the version here is still Qt5) the audio decoder 1) no longer uses "demux" and 2) happens in realtime instead of waiting for the decoder to complete before starting the song
** fix crash: when a dialog is destructing (closing) but meanwhile idle events happen for said dialog (a closing dialog should not be given idle events)
** can now switch venues more than once and not crash
** when switching venues hold the COMMAND key to skip the confirm dialog
** "runaway selection" is fixed! (when you shift-click to extend selection, things OUTSIDE the view used to get selected)
** auto scrolling while drag-reordering works better. let me know if you need a tweak (like accelleration speed)
** extending selection across view page boundaries works
** "buy" button in music stores now respects browser font size
** search is fast again and correctly updates the "summary string" at the bottom of the browser window

* 64bit Updates:
** Star Ratings will now scale with browser font size, and draw white-on-black when selected
** key navigation will move the selection minimally, instead of always centering
** if playing a video fails (it shouldn't but if it does), it should now stop itself, instead of playing black video
** if a song still needs "push meta data" on startup, it will happen. previously just forgot to do that.
** full screen mode works again, obscuring the menu bar
** audio only songs now supported (no more assert about missing meta data)
** if you changed your OS theme (accent color) while kJams was running, it would cause the "transport" buttons (play, stop etc) to be "pressed" multiple times when you click them (one time for each theme change). fixed.
** on startup, volume controller shows remembered previous volume
** when "max activities" is set to 0, it won't auto close, so you can drag it to a spot and it will stick
** fix hang during startup
** Party Tyme Pro Streaming "tether" files now play using qt6 (they already worked in qt5)
** no longer crashes in tryout mode when doing a search with no results
** credit card info dialog now actually remembers text you enter into it (!)
* Windows:
** fixed crash related to accessing network when offline(eg: update music store, check for updates etc)
** can now do "simultaneous downloading", and all downloads run at full speed, like the mac always has
* fixed a hang (deadlock) related to clicking in a playlist
* fixed a hang (aborting background tasks) on quit
* fixed a crash on quit
* fix "pause between tracks" bug that would pause after loading a song, even when you manually tried to play it (by selecting and pressing play, or by double clicking). prerequisites: song NOT already in cache, AND you have "delay playing until loaded" turned on
* if you get an assert about thread when using the server, you now have the opportunity to send a crash report
* but maybe i fixed that assert so you'll never get a chance to send the crash report?
* venue list (in the venue menu) is now sorted alphabetically

* Windows: fixed ability to get IP address when some cards reported 0.0.0.0
* the audio / video sync watchdog previously didn't take Global Slip into account! does now. symptom: if you have global slip on, video would stutter
* When counting song files during "Add to Library", we update the count a little more often
* more error reporting when downloading something
* KDN files work again for palette changes due to changing Label color. also fixed other palette related bugs

* Windows: downloading things is now faster, though currently even if you have 5 threads open, they'll be handled serially. This is an easy fix but it works fine for now, i'll fix it later.
* You can now opt out of pre-downloading the streaming data for Karaoke Cloud
* new keyboard shortcut for "Reinterpret Names": cmd-opt-I (ctrl-alt-I)
* Default Venue name is "Singers", as usual, but now it can be localized (so you see the translated name if you run using a different UI language)

* Lite: fixed crash on startup that happens if you had quit kJams while the video window was full screen.
* fixed Activity progress bars when "parsing" music stores
* for all three of you who use [[Music_Store/Party_Tyme_Pro|Party Tyme Pro Streaming]], the "Tethering" was broken, you'd get an error on first play, then it would re-download to self correct, but you'd never have the advantage of offline playing. This is fixed.
* if a music store forgot it's date, or on first run, it would say "oh hey there's a critical update!!". but there isn't. now it just says "hey wanna update?"
* Windows: when you drag and drop into kJams, kJams used to "hold on" to the folder or file you dragged from Windows Explorer, meaning you could no longer interact with that folder in Windows Explorer while kJams was doing it's import thing. This has been fixed.
* if you ever get a validate error on startup, kJams will now hint at you on how to fix it.
* fix store audition to not halt the new song if a previous song ended before the new one was fully cached
* don't crash parsing Party Tyme Downloads store
* don't report errors tethering Party Tyme Streaming, just log them
* implemented method to have music store song static data be ephemeral (basically: info that is the same for every song, eg: what store it came from, is not stored with the song, so it is taking up room in the database)
* no longer attempting to log into non-existing stores (eg: tricerasoft)
* not checking for updates when we're not supposed to (incl: music store catalogs & their URLs)
* music store song total could be reported wrong, fixed
* no longer logging tasks about loading showscreens when opening producer
* when logging all song file paths, no longer reporting errors when not found, prettier printing
* when scrubbing in producer, if you go past the end no longer hangs
* when re-linking, if you change audio, we recalculate the duration
* mac: integer columns draw in mono-space font so the numbers line up vertically
* monospace font is now Monaco (mac) or Consolas (win)
* moved the "Showing Windows" phase later in the startup process

* if you have a lot of singers, you'll now see a progress bar on startup about loading them, and one on shutdown about clearing them out
* Windows: don't crash if you switch to a playlist that has it's scroll bar down a bit from the top

* no more assert about "i_netP" when you go to play a preview in a music store
* no longer creating song-play-notifiers for non-existent stores (tricerasoft, chartbuster)
* hopefully, if you preview a song, then buy it, it will play the real song, not the preview
* when previewing a song, it now correctly goes into the cache folder, not your actual library
* fixed assert about "getting columns of a playlist with no columns". sorry about that!
* windows: "sorting singers" would be slow on startup, fixed that
* while AVSync (the thing that ensures your audio and video were sync'd) worked fine for CDG songs, it was broken for video files (eg: mp4). So if your video ever drifted, we'd attempt to compensate every other second, but always fail, which would cause AVSync to keep trying, over and over. This would also cause video stutter.

* fixed bug: when doing a search, it would appear to show no results, when you know there SHOULD be results. sometimes the scroll bar would end up in outer space (down the bottom), making it appear as if the list of results is empty, even though, if you scrolled back up, you'd SEE the search results right there.
* fixed assert-fail when adding to library
* fixed ability to hide the video window
* fixed a crash when attempting to show a hidden video window with one of the "size" commands
* if it ever occurs that ALL sort columns got deleted in a playlist, then switching out and back into that playlist will bring back the default sort columns
* Mac: Producer can again show the Fonts panel on Mojave (!)
* Editing Showscreens: now behaves more like a real "document model" in that, on a timeline, if you "edit" or "save over" an existing item, that will be remembered next time you edit that blob, so you can "command-4" to save-and-view the showscreen (there are still bugs!)
* ShowScreens on windows function again

* Windows:
** This version is finally code signed, and will NOT be flagged by Windows Defender! (make sure you have the latest definitions)
** On first run, the app can again install Python for you, instead of showing an error message
* Mac:
** when you pick "reveal in finder", you won't beachball, even if it takes a few seconds for the file's window to appear
* fixed assert-you're-about-to-crash when someone uses the Server (wtkJams)
* when you pick "reveal in finder/explorer", you'll get a notification that you did that
* a *tiny* bit of work toward true "cross platform" libraries (so you can take a mac library, and move it to windows, and vice versa, and not lose all your playlists / singers)
* fixed big bug for people who do NOT run in English: library-related file names are now always saved with english names, and it will recover gracefully if you accidentally got messed up from this bug previously (we had mixed-cases of localized and non-localized file names, which was bad)
* we now log tasks (activities) as they start and stop
* accidentally tied AVAILABILITY of freedb and MusicBrainz to the pref that said whether to AUTOMATICALLY use it. now, even if those prefs are off you can still USE them.
* fixed crash on quit due to timing conflict (InvokeTimer)
* fixed recently introduced bug where kJams would "forget" what venue you selected (was reading old library.xml file, instead of newer one which was written with the wrong name)
* fixed bug during ripping where it would silently lose track of the audio file you JUST ripped, and then later one day the song wouldn't play!
* when editing disc info, if the category is set to "none" you can always edit it, even if it was marked as not editable
* you can now submit freedb data from a disc based on a bin/cue file pair
* there is a new "Dimensions" meta data column, but it's empty, and you can't edit it
* sometimes a context click in the main (browser) window would pop up in the wrong place or show the wrong menu. fixed.
* the "Total Songs" sort column now works for singers (shows how many songs in their "Tonight" list)
* the kJams menu now has an entry for "About Open Source…" and the 64 bit version also has "About Qt…"

* kJams again remembers your sort columns per playlist. (it kept restoring the default layout to every playlist on startup)
* when you try to play or purchase a song, and you're not logged in, the warning dialog will tell you which store you're in
* on startup, the "Get Airfoil Slip Value" no longer takes any time
* FreeDB has been fixed to point to gnudb, but '''submit''' is disabled cuz i don't think they support that?
* MusicBrainz has been fixed (rewritten to use the new API)

** volume controller is done (works while playing)

** you can now "right click" on a song or playlist, and get the "context menu"
** working on playback of audio from video (movie) files (eg: h.264 etc) (with key changing, of course)
* in prefs->audio->cache
** you can now click a new "reveal" button
** mac fixed bug: pressing the "purge" button would stop working after the first time, if not all files got purged in the first pass. you'd have to exit out of the dialog and come back in for the button to work again.
* "Karaoke.Net" has been renamed "Party Tyme Downoads"
* "Party Tyme Pro" has been renamed "Party Tyme Pro Streaming"
* fixed an old longstanding bug that could crash you if two music stores updated at the exact same time
* fixed another old, longstanding bug, crash on startup, for when you have playlists with conflicting IDs
* fixed a recent bug where kJams forgot previously saved CD meta data
* no more mention of Perian. If you try to play an unrecognized file type, user is encouraged to convert to h.264
* if kJams makes a web request for something, and it takes longer than 30 seconds, it gives up. this is down from 2 minutes, which people mistook for a forever-hang
* MusicBrainz is now off by default until i fix it
* fixed longstanding problem of sprintf requiring a mutex, due to it having one global buffer. this caused any number of freezes (mutex contention) (bug where the app would just stop responding)
* you can now delete the *contents* of your "kJams Library" folder and kJams will rebuild. Previously you'd have to have deleted the folder itself. There is no check that you've really actually deleted everything, so you're on your own there
* the "new update is available" dialog now has a "Details" button that brings you here

* you don't care
** updated python function that returns the current SDK version to just find it in the file system, rather than my having to manually enter it whenever the SDK version changes
** updated function CFDebugBreak() so it breaks on both mac and windows
** updated function CPlayList::GetRenameFile() so "forceB" actually works for all playlist types
** created easier method to create coupon codes for third party affiliates
* on startup, while loading playlists, if a playlist with the ID of the one you're loading already exists, we make note of the current playlist's name and ensure the NEW one has a different name, based on it's file name
* we now simply skip loading a playlist who's file size is zero, and we summarily and quietly delete it
* if Karaoke.Net [soon to be renamed "Party Tyme (Downloads)"] has an error during a purchase operation, the dialog that shows now names the music store that had trouble. previously it was just the message and it wasn't clear which store the problem came from
* more "safety net" error handling while loading the database on startup
* same thing but regarding dialogs (opening and closing dialog windows)
* holy shit fixed the windows crasher (right at the start of a song)

* Win: fixed assert error re: audio (s_this). also fixed the left over audio tasks that prevent you from quitting
* ffmpeg may now be placed in the kJams Prefs folder, or in the kJams Plugins folder. but if you don't, the built in one will be used (used to demux mpeg1 files). no longer need to install the tools to get it to work, since it's LGPL
* mac: you can now opt into using SoundTouch for pitch changing (in the secret prefs: hold option key when invoking prefs). note i don't recommend it
* in the Audio prefs, you can now edit the SoundTouch key changing parameters, to try to find better key changing sound
* win: fixed asserts about color

* fixed the ability of kJams to find / create a temp folder, when the "kJams" folder itself is on a "shared" volume, like a network volume or one created by virtual machine host OS (when running in the guest OS)
* if you happen to have a defunct music store xml file lying around, kJams will no longer assert fail on startup
* you can open producer again with a KTP file and not get an assert
* fixed some font problems, created others (Producer fonts are a bit wacky)

* Mac: in the General prefs, the "update frequency" popup was showing the wrong menu. fixed.
* Windows: in prefs->Tags, there's a pref "Delay time after click to start edit (seconds)", which has NEVER worked. the default was 3/4 seconds, which is what you always get, no matter WHAT you set there. In fact, what you set there would change "Delay time after editing to store tags to files (seconds)". OOPS!
* FIXED BUG: when getting disc info from freedb or musicbrainz, if it returned multiple discs, when you picked one kJams would say it couldn't be found.
* Windows: the updater would install the update, but incorrectly set some settings, causing the OLD version to run. this is fixed, though you MAY still have an old copy of kJams now on your system. the fix for that is to uninstall both copies, then reinstall. you won't lose your playlists or songs.

Downgrade

2026-08-18T00:26:23Z

Dave:

If the current version of kJams is causing unavoidable problems, it is a simple matter to downgrade to a previous version.

* You will NOT lose your data (you keep your library, singers, playlists, preferences, license etc)
* You will NOT have to pay again

# go to [[History/x.5beta|The History Page]]
# that shows the very latest version at the top, and it's release date.
# look or sroll down a bit, and you'll see the previous version.
# Pick Lite, Pro, or 2, and download it. Now it is in your downloads folder.
# Go to your Downloads folder and unzip the download.
# install the download:
## Mac: drag the unzipped app into your Applications folder, replacing the old one
## Windows: uninstall the currently installed version (using "Add or Remove Programs"), then run the installer for the downgraded version
# launch kJams
# do NOT update to latest when it asks, but MAKE NOTE of the latest version number
# When a new release comes out with a version number GREATER than the one you made note of, you can update. if you want to make SURE your bug has actually been fixed, check the version notes after step 3.

</div>
__TOC__
The '''Karaoke Cloud''' catalog is provided by '''[https://digitraxentertainment.com/ DigiTrax]'''.
==Signing Up==
When you sign up for the FREE account at Karaoke Cloud (so you can audition song previews, and also play the free-to-stream "Green" songs), it WILL ask for a credit card. The card IS required in order to get your free account established, however you will NEVER be charged anything unless you actually purchase something (a song, or a streaming subscription). Also note, unless you have manually changed your preferences, you can not accidentally purchase anything: kJams will always warn you before any purchase is made.
# Run kJams
# go to preferences
# click on stores
# make sure "Enable Checked Music Stores" and "Karaoke Cloud" is checked. (if they weren't, then check them and restart kJams, and come back to this screen)
# click to "Edit Music Store Settings"
# make sure "Karaoke Cloud" tab is selected
# click "Create Account…" button and follow the wizard
# If you like, click the "Subscription Tier:" pop-up menu and upgrade your service!

==If you forget your password==
# [https://www.karaokeclouddownloads.com/ go to this page]
# click "Login" in the top left to see the little log in panel
# click "forgot password"
# Enter your email address and click submit.
# you'll get an email, go find it, and click the link to reset your password.

Once you have done that, you should be able to go back to kJams and log in.

==Streaming==
There are over 3 thousand songs available for streaming, and most of them can also be purchased a-la-carte. There are also several free songs which are marked with the Green label (search for "label:2" in the store). You must create a free account with '''KaraokeCloud''' ahead of time to play the free songs, and of course you must purchase a streaming subscription to stream the rest. For home users, you must have an internet connection at the time you wish to stream. For KJs and fanatics, you can sign up for "Tethering", where you pre-download all the cloud data (encrypted), then you can "stream" from that, so you do NOT need an internet connection when you want to play any of the songs in the cloud library.

Currently there are three Tiers available: Free, Home, and KJ Tethering. Note that "Home" is NOT licensed for public performance, tho you're free to purchase it with the Pro version of kJams as long as you only use it at home. Note: If you are doing public performances then you must use '''kJams Pro''' and the "KJ Tethering" tier. Also note that "private" parties with more than 20 people are legally considered "public".

Note that these tiers are only for a single installation and its backup. If your business has more than one KJ running shows (ie: working for you), you will need a separate license for each KJ. Sharing your Tier is strictly prohibited. Note that these Tiers are monitored closely and will be audited if it seems there are shenanigans going on.

To be clear: '''kJams Lite''' and/or the "Home" Tier can '''not''' be used in a public setting due to the License Agreement. If you are doing a public show (or large private show) then you '''must''' use '''kJams Pro''' and either the "KJ Tethering" Tier or the "Free" Tier with purchased songs. You can of course use the Pro version for private shows.

==Downloads for Purchase==
There are over 3 thousand songs available for purchase / download (they can also be streamed). They are USD $1.99 each. Sort by price then scroll down a bit to see them all at once. To sort by some other column, search for "1.99" then sort however you wish. Purchased songs may be played in a public / commercial venue, as long as the KJ or Venue has membership in [http://www.ascap.com/ ASCAP].

==Free Streaming Songs==
There is also a set of about 8 songs that you can stream for free! I'm not sure if this set changes every month, so be sure to update your music store when kJams asks you to (or right before a show) to make sure you've got the latest list. These songs have been Labeled (colored) with Green so you can easily see them. To play them, you must have created a free account. To see the list in the music store, first [[Sorting|show the "Label" column]], then either a) sort by Label, then scroll down to the green section, or b) just search for "Label:2" (no quotes).

==Voucher Credits==
You can pre-purchase voucher credits somehow, I'm not quite sure where, but the code comes on a physical card. We'll try to get digital vouchers going soon. '''Update:''' they still have not enabled purchasing digital vouchers.

==Karaoke Cloud '''PRO''' (aka: Tethering)==
Tethering does not work in Tryout mode because one of the criteria for encryption is a serial number.

Tethering means that a copy of all the cloud data will be stored locally on your computer or external drive. The "tether" means that it is "tied" to your computer via your serial number and your username and password, so the database you have can't be used by someone else. What's great about having a local copy is that you do not need to be online in order to "stream" any of the songs! That means that when you operate at a venue that has no internet connection, you still have access to the ''entire'' streaming library. Another benefit is that if you ARE online, when you purchase a song, the song comes out of the local cloud data store, instead of needing to download. 
If you opt for the "KJ Tethering" Tier, kJams will automatically start downloading the entire song database to your kJams folder, in a folder called "KaraokeCloud Tethered Database". It will take about 110GB of space, so be sure you have enough before you start. It will take a long time too, on a good connection it may take a day to get it all. On a slow connection, it may take a couple days. If there are hiccups part way thru, you can just (optionally force) quit kJams and run again, and it will pick up where it left off. Do not worry about the songs that don't sync properly, this sometimes happens with newly added songs, we're likely aware of it already and have a fix planned, they will be skipped and marked as "Missing" and the "Comment" will show why. (You can [[Sorting|show the "Missing" and "Comment" sort columns]] if you like).

==Tethering to External Drive==
If you would prefer to use an external drive to store ALL your music, use the "[[Moving]]" procedure. If you just want to store the Cloud data on an external drive, follow these steps:
# quit kJams
# Go to your "kJams" folder
# if there is a "KaraokeCloud Tethered Database" folder already there, drag it to the external drive, then delete it from the kJams folder
# if there is NOT that folder there, then go to your external drive and create a folder called "KaraokeCloud Tethered Database"
# select that folder and make an alias (shortcut)
# Drag that alias (shortcut) back into the "kJams" folder
# rename it there so that it does NOT have the word "_alias" (or "_shortcut") at the end. Be VERY careful that you remove the space character (indicated by the underscore in the example here). The point is it must be named exactly "KaraokeCloud Tethered Database", so kJams will find it.
# you may now delete the alias (shortcut) from the external drive, as it is no longer needed

Now, when you sync the cloud data, it will go to the external drive.
==No Lyrics==
You can optionally show some songs that [[Music Store/KaraokeCloud/No Lyrics|have no lyrics]]. These songs are colored GRAY.

==Manufacturers==
These manufacturers are available in the KaraokeCloud store: 
DigiTrax Karaoke (formerly Chartbuster)

The '''Party Tyme Pro Streaming''' catalog is provided by '''[https://sybersound.com/ Sybersound]'''.
==Signing Up==
When you sign up for the FREE account with Party Tyme Pro (so you can play the free-to-stream "Green" songs), it WILL ask for a credit card. The card IS required in order to get your free account established, however you will NOT be charged anything until the free week has elapsed, and will NEVER be charged if you disable "auto renew" before that.
# Run kJams
# go to preferences
# click on stores
# make sure "Enable Checked Music Stores" and "Party Tyme Pro" is checked. (if they weren't, then check them and restart kJams, and come back to this screen)
# click to "Edit Music Store Settings"
# make sure "Party Tyme Pro" tab is selected
# click "Create Account…" button and follow the wizard
# If you like, click the "Subscription Tier:" pop-up menu and upgrade your service!

==No Previews, but FIRST WEEK IS FREE==
Note that Party Tyme does not enable song previews (auditions). However, they do offer "first week free", so if you just want a taste to see if you like their music, sign up for the Monthly subscription. Your card will NOT be charged until after a week has elapsed, but during that time you can play all the songs you want! If you're not satisfied, just just click "Disable" next to "Auto Renew" in the preferences before the week is done.

==If you forget your password==
# [https://player.partytymeplayer.com/partytyme/karaoke/load?page=change_password&forgot go to this page]
# Enter your email address and click submit.
# you'll get an email, go find it, and click the link to reset your password.

Once you have done that, you should be able to go back to kJams and log in.
==Streaming==
Note this store is Streaming only (you can't purchase tracks). There are over 13 thousand songs available for streaming! There are also several free songs which are marked with the Green label (search for "label:2" in the store). You must create a free account with '''Party Tyme Pro''' ahead of time to play the free songs, and of course you must purchase a streaming subscription to stream the rest. For the 48 hour pass, you must have an internet connection at the time you wish to stream. With the Monthly subscription, kJams will pre-download all the cloud data (encrypted), then you can "stream" from that, so you do NOT need an internet connection when you want to play any of the songs in the cloud library.

Currently there are three Tiers available: Demo, 48 Hours, Monthly.

=='''x.5b5''' not out yet! ==

* so much to do, and OMG so much time!!
=='''x.5b4''' Aug 4, 2026, The '''"Retirement"''' version==
<links_dropbox=subs+per+x32/>

----
* maybe this will be the last 32bit build
* BIG Updates to 64bit:
** Mac: Fat build (both ARM and Intel)
** '''Python'''! iTunes (Apple Music) crossfade!
** Microphone Playthrough
** '''Transparent Video'''
** stop-between-tracks no longer messes up rotation
** when finding missing song, present file dialog at last known location
** when editing meta in browser window, these keys now work (again): tab (next), shift-tab (previous), option-tab (down one), shift-option tab (up one)
** Diacritic Insensitive search actually works!
* Another big thing: '''kJams Subscriptions''' are ready:
** '''HomeParty''' (replaces Lite) and comes with Burning Plugin!
** '''NightClub''' (replaces Pro / 2)
** NightClub has '''MCP''' server!!! OMG?
** YouTube Music Store (free) available in HomeParty and NightClub (still working on it)
* the "Database is Dirty" flag was not working correctly, it is fixed now
* omg Paddle for 32bit mac was busted how did i not know? it's fixed again
* fix hang in SystemProfiler when getting machine name!
* fix many crashers related to small stack size OMG (64bit only sorry)
* fix crashers in low level string and datestring functions!
* fix macOS app menu ordering: About Open Source appears before Preferences again
* if a playlist becomes dirty AFTER it was saved but before all others are saved, we no longer mark the save as complete, and wait for the next save timer
* [[A2pix/History|a2pix 3.5]] released!
* Updated several places to new company name: '''Slīthy Toves Media'''. (previously was '''Metamuse Media''')
* Quick3 dialog (the alert dialog with 3 buttons) now properly shows the OK button (was showing a strange skin on it if the size was wrong)
* started work on "Song DeDupe", so if you accidentally import the same song twice, kJams can just fix that for you, no need for a full rebuild
* started work on "Rebuild but Preserve Singers / Playlists" feature
* Windows: the KaraokeCloud banner that shows you what new songs are coming up: would only show top left quarter of image, rest of it off screen! fixed!
* fixed mojibake in some menus that had "…"

* NightClub: Install MCP from Preferences (with your consent), auto-configure Cursor, and wait until after the splash screen so startup stays smooth; Server prefs show Node version / Update
* Windows 64-bit installers remove prior matching editions (including older 32-bit of the same product) before installing, so upgrades are cleaner
* fix hang when quitting after Backup Complete (especially HomeParty and Lite)
* fix crash that could happen while quitting during shutdown
* Windows: closing the main window (X) or quitting after an update now reliably exits the app
* Switching from perpetual to a subscription: clearer upsell, Monthly/Yearly prices, and in-app download of the right edition (Lite → HomeParty, Pro / kJams 2 → NightClub), then quit so the installer can run
* Recover Subscriptions works again; Deactivate now sticks after relaunch; Activate / Deactivate no longer falsely report failure for trial, paused, or past-due subscriptions
* fix product-menu prefs so Classic upgrades (e.g. Pro → 2) activate correctly again
* current song shows a speaker icon on Song Name (on while playing, off while paused)
* optional switchable albums per playlist (context menu)
* 64-bit builds use LAME 4.0 for MP3 encoding
* fix LCD status message flicker and clearing after idle
* library search: selection stays in sync and is preserved when you clear the search
* Get Info and other menu items stay disabled when they do not apply to the selection
* fix crash during zip / export completion
* Classic license upgrades can show a purchase-date prorate discount dialog
* Producer plugin Preferences panel layout fixed
* playlist JSON import / export preserves disc metadata
* Stop rotation advances to the next singer without auto-playing
* user playlists no longer appear blank at startup; songs you add show up immediately
* fix crash caused by modal dialogs corrupting memory
* fix hang when sorting a selection
* fix hang while loading subscription status
* mic input volume slider appears in the browser when a mic device is selected
* YouTube: drag a search result onto Library or a playlist to purchase / import (not just stream)
* YouTube Music Store on by default for subscription editions
* Apple Music crossfade works on Windows too
* Windows: prefs from the old Metamuse company registry key are migrated to Slīthy Toves on first launch
* fix Windows version comparison so update checks compare versions correctly
* missing-song lookup resolves paths as far as possible before giving up
=='''x.5b3''' April 11, 2026, The '''"[[A2pix|a2pix resurrection]]"''' version==

<links_dropbox/>
* skipped '''x.5b2''' — no public build
* tab key works when editing meta data in the browser!
* fix crash more thoroughly (inval prefs dialog on startup)
* if you're offline, ensure you aren't SUMMARILY sent to tryout mode, always allow grace period

=='''x.5b1''' April 1, 2026, The '''"[https://www.freidamcfadden.com/books/standalone-thrillers/dear-debbie/ Dear Debbie]"''' version==
<links_versioned=5b1/>
* Windows: no longer shows a "requires macOS" error on startup
* fix re-encode queue stalling after the first error (remaining songs now proceed)
* fix crash when deleting a playlist while importing songs
* fix metadata not saving to files after editing tags
* fix "wrong CPU type" error writing MP4 tags on Intel Macs
* Mac: each run now gets its own log file in ~/Library/Logs/kJams Logs/

System Requirements

2026-08-05T02:49:26Z

Dave: /* Software */

Before you buy kJams, you should check the hardware you want to run it on, to see if it meets our requirements. Since you can download any edition of kJams, and use it in Tryout mode to test it on your own machine, you get to determine whether your computer has enough badonkadonk to run the package without having to guess. Er, sorry; Trace Adkins flashback there.

Remember: especially if you're using the system to do professional hosting for money in a public place, ''you should always reboot your computer before starting a show'', and you may want/need to do a [[clean boot]] to make sure no extra programs are being started up for your at boot time which will load your machine down.

= Basic Requirements =

== Hardware ==
These are the recommended specifications; you may be able to use some features with lesser hardware, though perhaps not all at the same time.

Minimum:
* A PC or Mac, or laptop, with at 2GHz, dual-core CPU
* 6GB RAM
* 10GB or more Free disk space (or room enough for your future music library)

Recommended:
* 3GHz or faster, Quad-core (or more)
* 16GB ram (or more)
* SSD for both internal drive and Music drive (if they're separate)

== Software ==
* For Mac users:
** macOS 13 or newer (macOS 26 recommended)
** [[macOS|Mac specific Instructions]]
* For PC users:
** Windows 10 or newer
** [[Windows|Windows Specific Instructions]]

== Network ==
* An internet connection (at least temporarily) to the computer on which you plan to purchase and activate a kJams license, then at least once monthly to stay activated
* Internet is also required if you want to purchase or stream songs from a [[Music Store]]

= Extended Requirements =
* To rip and/or burn, you'll need a [[Compatible_Drives|compatible drive]]. Not all drives are compatible! One of the reasons I provide a Tryout version is so you can see if your drive is compatible. More on this in the next section.
* For '''Burning''' more than 3 songs you must already have purchased kJams Lite, Pro, or 2. (You can, and you SHOULD) test burning with a 2 song playlist using the free Tryout. That's why there's a free tryout.
* For the '''Producer''' plugin, a Macintosh running 10.14, otherwise requirements as for '''Burning'''
* for 32bit: Don't add more than about 112k songs to kJams, since the memory management scheme will make it run very slowly if you add more than that
