Media Shout 3.0

I final­ly got my upgrade copy of Medi­aShout in the mail yes­ter­day.

Wow.

This release fix­es every­thing I’ve ever dis­liked about Medi­aShout and adds tons of new fea­tures I’d nev­er con­sid­ered.

The three best upgrades:
* You can play just a spe­cif­ic, cus­tom clip from a DVD. So you just want to play from 1.54.36 to 1.57.12? Done.
* All songs now have per­ma­nent for­mat­ting stored in the data­base. No need to refor­mat every stink­ing time you use the song!
* You can edit text cues direct­ly from with­in the program–no more ran­dom RTF files lying about.

Also, it looks like they’re try­ing to break into the VJ market–the new ver­sion includes bet­ter sup­port for mix­ing video feeds on the fly. Still, it just does­n’t com­pare to Arkaos in that depart­ment.

The one thing I real­ly wish they had done was include the Greek & Hebrew Bibles (they include the Latin Vulgate–why not the orig­i­nal text?).

Over­all, I’m thrilled.
