* feat(composer): Browse by Composer page (issue #465)
New library section listing every artist credited as composer on at
least one track, with a detail page showing all works they're credited
on in that role. Targeted at classical-music libraries where the
"recording artist" tag carries the orchestra and the "composer" tag
carries Bach / Mozart / Chopin.
Hits Navidrome's native /api/artist?_filters={"role":"composer"} for
the listing and /api/album?_filters={"role_composer_id":"…"} for the
works grid — Subsonic getArtist only follows AlbumArtist relations and
returns 0 albums for composer-only credits, so the native API is the
only path that works. Requires Navidrome 0.55+ (uses
library_artist.stats role aggregation); on older / pure-Subsonic
servers the page shows a one-line capability banner.
- Two new Tauri commands: nd_list_artists_by_role +
nd_list_albums_by_artist_role, generic over participant role so
conductor / lyricist / arranger pages are trivial to add later.
- Composers grid: text-only compact tiles (name + participation count
pulled from stats[role].albumCount). No avatars — composer libraries
carry no useful imagery and the listing endpoint exposes no image
URLs anyway.
- ComposerDetail: hero with Last.fm bio (via getArtistInfo2) plus the
full work grid, with a graceful fallback when the artist has no
external info synced.
- Sidebar entry default off (Feather icon) — opt-in for the niche
classical use case.
- nd_retry backoffs widened from [500] to [300, 800, 1800] — helps
every nd_* call survive intermittent TLS-handshake-EOF errors that
some reverse-proxy setups produce when keep-alive pools churn.
- Distinguishes "server can't do this" (HTTP 400/404/422/501) from
transient errors so the capability banner only fires when the server
actually rejects the request shape; everything else gets a retry
button.
- i18n in all 8 supported locales.
* fix(composer): address review feedback on detail page + role queries
- Re-fetch ComposerDetail when music-library scope changes; previously
the album grid stayed stale until navigation while the list refreshed.
- Thread library_id through nd_list_artists_by_role and
nd_list_albums_by_artist_role so role queries respect the active
Navidrome library, matching the Subsonic musicFolderId already piped
through libraryFilterParams().
- Fix CachedImage cache-key mismatch on ComposerDetail: a Last.fm header
image was stored under the Subsonic cover-art key, aliasing cache
entries and risking cross-source pollution.
- Consolidate the two contradictory composer-imagery comments in
Composers.tsx into a single accurate one (the older one referenced an
Images toggle that was never implemented).
- Align openLink toast duration with ArtistDetail (1500ms -> 2500ms).
* fix(composer): keep bio across scope changes, add share, degrade gracefully
Three remaining items from the latest review pass on the composer flow.
1. Bio survives a music-library scope change.
The previous fix added musicLibraryFilterVersion to the load effect,
but that effect also did setInfo(null) while the getArtistInfo effect
still depended on [id] alone — so a scope bump on the open page
wiped the bio without re-fetching it. Move the info reset into the
bio effect (keyed on id) and out of the load effect: the album grid
still refreshes on scope change; the Last.fm header image and
biography survive untouched, since both are library-independent.
2. Composers join the share pipeline as a first-class entity kind.
Extend EntityShareKind with 'composer' (and isEntityKind), branch
applySharePastePayload to validate via getArtist (same id pool) and
navigate to /composer/:id, and wire a Share button into
ComposerDetail. A pasted composer link now opens the composer view
instead of the artist view, matching what was copied. i18n added in
all 8 locales (sharePaste.composerUnavailable, openedComposer;
composerDetail.shareComposer, unknownComposer).
3. Partial server failure no longer hides the works.
If getArtist rejects but ndListAlbumsByArtistRole succeeds, the page
used to show full "not found" despite having data to display. Switch
the not-found gate to require both empty (`!artist && !albums`) and
render a degraded header (placeholder name, no Wikipedia / favourite
/ share / Last.fm image) when only metadata is missing.
* fix(composer): right-click share copies a composer link, not an artist link
The context menu opened from a composer card / row uses type='artist'
because every composer-action (radio, favourite, rating, add-to-playlist)
is identical to the artist counterpart — they share an id space and a
backend representation. Sharing was the one exception: the "Share Link"
entry produced a 'psysonic2-' string with k='artist', so a paste opened
/artist/:id even though the user came from /composers.
Add an optional shareKindOverride to openContextMenu (default: undefined,
preserves existing behaviour) and have the artist-typed branch consult
it when calling copyShareLink. Composers.tsx now passes 'composer' on
both right-click sites; nothing else changes downstream because the
override only affects the share kind.
* polish(composer): show Last.fm avatar even without server metadata
Two minor follow-ups from the latest review.
- ComposerDetail: drop the `&& artist` guard on the header-avatar render
path. info?.largeImageUrl can resolve through getArtistInfo(id) without
ever needing the SubsonicArtist record, so the previous gate hid a
perfectly good Last.fm portrait whenever getArtist failed but the
bio fetch succeeded. Replace artist.name with displayName so the
alt / aria-label degrade to the localised "Composer" placeholder
instead of empty strings.
- copyEntityShareLink: doc comment now mentions composer alongside
track / album / artist.
* fix(composer): derive Last.fm cache key from route id, not from artist record
Follow-up to the previous polish: the avatar render path no longer
requires `artist` to be populated, but the cache-key gate still did. So
when getArtist failed but getArtistInfo returned a Last.fm portrait, the
key fell through to coverKey — which is empty without an artist record,
re-creating the very aliasing bug the earlier Subsonic-vs-Last.fm fix
was meant to close.
Switch the Last.fm branch to the route id (same id namespace as the
SubsonicArtist record), so the key stays stable whenever Last.fm art is
shown, independent of getArtist succeeding.
* docs: CHANGELOG + Contributors entry for composer browsing (PR #487)
* feat(shortcuts): unify action-driven shortcut and CLI routing
Centralize shortcut action metadata in one TypeScript registry and route keyboard, global shortcut, mini-window, and CLI inputs through shared runtime handlers.
Keep CLI as an abstract transport layer by emitting player-command payloads without depending on shortcut definitions.
* feat(shortcuts): generate CLI action help from shortcut registry
Move no-arg player commands and their descriptions into the central action registry so CLI parsing and --player help are derived dynamically from one source of truth. Also route runtime action execution through the registry and remove duplicated shortcut runtime handling.
* feat(shortcuts): add new input actions and hidden F1 help binding
Add the requested input actions (search, advanced search, sidebar, mute, equalizer, repeat, now playing, lyrics, favorite current track) to the central shortcut action registry and wire runtime handlers for sidebar/equalizer toggles. Keep Help bound to F1 by default while hiding it from Settings input lists, and backfill persisted keybindings with new defaults so F1 works for existing users.

New /tracks route with three sections:
- Hero "Track of the moment" — random pick with play / enqueue / reroll
- Random Pick rail — 18 song cards, rerollable; hero song deduped
- Browse all tracks — virtualized list (@tanstack/react-virtual),
paginated 50 at a time
Browse uses Navidrome's native /api/song?_sort=title&_order=ASC for
proper A-Z order (no Subsonic equivalent), with automatic fallback
to search3 on non-Navidrome servers. Search input drives search3
with 300ms debounce. Bearer token cached module-level, re-auth on 401.
Play button on rows + cards calls a new enqueueAndPlay() helper that
appends to the existing queue (skip if duplicate) and jumps to the
song — different from playSongNow which replaces the queue. Enqueue
button stays opaque (no hover-only).
i18n keys for sidebar.tracks + tracks.* namespace in all 8 locales.
New AudioLines sidebar icon. Sidebar entry inserted between
"All Albums" and "Build a Mix".
Performance: cover thumbnails dropped (uniform layout instead),
RAF-throttled scroll prefetch, hover transforms removed from cards
(WebKitGTK compositing-friendly).

Lucky Mix targets ~50 tracks in one run: pick seeds from your most-played artists/albums and 4+ rated songs, add similar tracks, then fill the mix with random library picks, skipping anything you rated 1–2.
On start it trims the old “upcoming” tail so the queue does not show stale next tracks, starts playback on the first viable seed, routes to Now Playing, and can emit structured steps to the backend debug log.
Extract ALL_NAV_ITEMS to src/config/navItems.ts and add randomMix/randomAlbums
nav items. A new toggle in Settings switches between a single "Build a Mix" hub
and separate "Random Mix" / "Random Albums" sidebar entries (randomNavMode in
authStore). Fixes reorder crash caused by hidden items being overwritten with
undefined during the merge step.
