New Mac Viewer Available Now

Over the past few weeks we've been testing our latest version of the Musicnotes Viewer for Macintosh.  Now that we are done with testing, the latest version (version 1.16.11) is now available for download.

There is quite a bit new with this latest release, so we encourage all Mac users to upgrade as soon as possible.

You can read the full list of improvements here, but these are the highlights:

This version works on Power PC and Intel Macs running OS X 10.2 or higher. Supported browsers include Safari, Firefox, and Opera or any browser that supports bundled plugins. Internet Explorer 5 is not supported.

Rosetta is not needed on Intel Macs, and should be disabled for best performance.

Download the latest version of the Mac viewer here.

MXTabs.net Open at www.mxtabs.net

Last March Musicnotes announced that it would be re-launching the popular guitar, bass and drum tab website, MXTabs.net as the first free and legal guitar tab community.  Since then we've been hard at work securing licensing and building out a brand new site and experience.

Several months ago the site opened in a closed alpha test, and about a month ago this alpha was opened to the public.  Yesterday the alpha version of MXTabs opened at www.mxtabs.net.

The site is still in an alpha mode as we continue to add and test features, as well as secure additional licenses.  You can, however, now visit it and get an idea of what we're doing there.  It's quite a bit different than Musicnotes, but we're confident that it will maintain the same level of quality that Musicnotes is known for.

You can also get updates on MXTabs at our official MXTabs blog, available at http://blog.mxtabs.net
