Song Selection
Songs now have more metadata: Artist, Album, Year, and Genre, in addition to the existing Title and Length.
Songs selected from this menu are now saved separately from your scores.
Scores you've already saved for a song will be filled in with the new metadata the next time you load that song (matched by song name and length).
The last song used for each mode (file and audio device) is remembered and automatically populated the next time the Choose Audio Source popup is opened.
Added an option to sort song lists by Song Title or by Most Recent.
Added the ability to edit and delete song metadata.
Scores
Score viewers now display full song metadata when needed to disambiguate multiple songs with the same title.

In Game Performance Statistics
Performance statistics are now directly integrated into the game and no longer rely on an in-game web browser to display this information from the BeatShot website.
Scores are no longer saved to an external database.
Scores previously stored in the database are no longer be viewable on the BeatShot website. However, those same scores should also be saved in your local save game file and will still be accessible.
BeatShot no longer requires access to the internet to fully function, aside from Steam achievements.
The charts and graphs should all look very similar to the ones previously located on the website.
General
Added the option to remove all scores when removing all custom game modes.

Added a max character length constraint for custom game mode names.
Existing custom game mode names longer than 40 characters will be chopped. Scores corresponding to these custom game modes will also be updated.
Bug fixes
Fixed unintended behavior where shots fired before a game mode started would count towards shots fired.

Bug fixes
Fixed a bug where mp3 and ogg files were not being accepted if they didn't contain metadata. The file name is now used as the title of the song if this is the case. Thanks to YogPoz, JaxxHunter, and anyone who submitted a bug report about this!
