Probe OpenSubsonic after connect; persist album/artist ratings via setRating when supported. Add shared StarRating (repeat same star to clear, pulse and shrink animations, hover freeze after clear). Widen tracklist duration column and bump narrow saved widths in localStorage. Use StarRating in AlbumHeader, track lists, and playlist rows.
Incorporates PRs #38 (nisarg-78), #42#43#44 (JulianNymark) with fixes:
Audio / Playback
- Artist Radio starts immediately from fast getTopSongs (local library);
getSimilarSongs2 (Last.fm) enriches queue in background — no more wait
- Fix seek audio glitch: EqualPowerFadeIn only resets to zero-gain on
seeks to track start (<100 ms); all other seeks resume at unity gain
- OGG/Vorbis container support via symphonia-format-ogg (PR #42)
- Human-readable audio error messages in SizedDecoder (PR #44)
- Audio playback errors shown as themed toast notifications (PR #43)
Queue / Radio
- Infinite Queue: proactive load of 5 tracks (was 25) when ≤2 remain
- Radio: proactive reload at ≤2 remaining tracks, independent of
Infinite Queue setting — radio no longer stops at last track
- Fix: clicking Start Radio multiple times no longer stacks duplicates
- Fix: Start Radio on artist keeps current song playing
- Manual tracks always appear before Radio, Radio before Auto-added
- Queue separators: "— Radio —" and "— Auto —" dividers
- Fix: radio proactive load now works even when songs lack artistId
(uses currentRadioArtistId module var as fallback)
UI / UX
- Click synced lyrics lines to seek (PR #38)
- Volume scroll wheel on volume slider (PR #38)
- Lyrics: active / completed / upcoming visual states (PR #38)
- Shared toast utility (src/utils/toast.ts) replaces inline toast fn
- Auto-updater: relaunch_after_update Rust command exits first to
release single-instance lock before spawning new process
