SayMore 0.3 is now available for Download. The major changes are:

• Custom Fields, with auto-type ahead.
• You can now add new Genres.
• In 0.1, we called a recording and its associated files a Session. In 0.3, we call this an Event. A Session/Event includes recordings which are comments/annotations on the original. The problem with the Session label was that people doing Basic Oral Language Documentation refer to each recording (original, careful speech, translation) as a “Session”, and the whole collection they call an “Event”. We think we can afford to use the BOLD terminology without confusing everybody else.
• David has managed to switch the video player to the open-source “mplayer”. Doing that dealt with several problems we were having with the Windows player holding onto files and folders, making it difficult to rename them.
