We released Tangerine! 1.1 this morning after working on it for many weeks. Normally, we like to release more frequently so that existing customers can immediately benefit from our work, but we had to rewrite quite a bit of internal code due to some big new features: presets and rules.
With the new presets you can now save and recall the settings in the new playlist sheet. There weren't that many settings before so presets weren't really necessary but it is a must have with the other big new feature, rules. With rules you can now create playlists from specific genres, playlists, artists, etc. This was a feature that was requested the most and we got right on it after taking a brief breather after the 1.0 release. A big thanks to Steve Harris of Reinvented Software again for letting us use his rule editor code.
There are many other new features though. You can read the rest of the release notes here:
Tangerine! Release Note
Our next focus will be improved analysis quality and perhaps even getting at the bits of iTunes purchased songs (gasp!).

very good!
Nice application. However the price is too high in my opinion. The half would be completely OK, I think. Especially compared to other recent software like Disco, etc.
The buttons in the bottom of the main window could be look better if they share the bevel style with iTunes. This is also true for the volume selector.
Will it be possible in the future to use the iTunes plugins alá VolumeLogic with Tangerine, too?
This software is amazing!!! It is exactly what I have been looking for. I am terrible at getting my playlists to flow well and this makes them like magic and they sound amazing! I love that it just starts when you launch the program and you don't have to do anything - it is so simple to use. I can't wait until it will analyze itunes purchased songs too. Great integration with itunes and cool visual of cover art of the playlists it creates. Thanks
If Tangerine! ends up supporting iTunes Store bought music you guys will be my personal heroes.
Tangerine looks very promising. However, it doesn't seem to work with the music already stored on my iPod. I tend to copy stuff over and then dump it from iTunes (who has an extra 80gb on their Powerbook to duplicate what's already in the iPod?), which basically makes Tangerine useless for me. Can you have it work directly with the stuff in my iPod? Then it wouldn't hurt so much shelling out $25 for it...
I'm VERY excited to use Tangerine!, but I'm hesitating to buy it because of the price tag. I noticed that the program is analyzing "7860" of my iTunes tracks; however, I actually have 8554 files in my library, so I'm not sure what the discrepancy could be?
Now that it's a few months later, I hope you guys are closer to analyzing iTunes purchased songs!!
Tangerine is a very nice application -BUT- it will ROCK when it recognizes iTune purchased songs! I will keep my eye on Tangerine and purchase it only when it recognizes the remaining 1/3 of my music library.
Tangerine rocks!
