Snowtape now Compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion

Maybe you already heard that Mac OS X 10.7 might be available next week. While I strongly encourage you to backup your entire system before updating to Lion, it should not be necessary anymore when it comes to Snowtape. From this day on, Snowtape is officially fully compatible with Lion and it won't held you back from updating anymore.
It is also backward compatible with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, although I advice to update to the latest version 10.6.8. There are known issues in older system versions.

I also improved some issues I came across when testing Lion compatibility. You don't need to wait anymore for the audio fingerprint identification if you want to extract new tracks. And when Snowtape now asks you for a username and password e.g. for Premium radio stations, it doesn't block the application anymore. Also storing the password in Keychain is now a bit more intelligent and Snowtape doesn't ask you for authentication so often anymore.

If you have any questions, please let me know. You can ping me on Twitter or send me an email.
