The spring model (velocity × damping per rAF frame) produced an
abrupt-looking lurch on each line change — especially noticeable at
the stiffness/damping values used (0.1 / 0.78).
Replace SpringScroller with EaseScroller: a fixed-duration (650 ms)
cubic ease-out animation that starts from the current scroll position
and decelerates smoothly to the target. Restarting mid-flight is clean —
the next call captures the container's current scrollTop as the new
start point, so fast line changes never skip or jerk.
Applied to both the fullscreen Apple-style lyrics and the sidebar
LyricsPane. User-scroll cancellation (stop() + 4 s resume) is
preserved unchanged.
Two independent user-facing fixes rolled together.
── Lyrics: YouLyPlus provider (issue #172) ──
Adds word-by-word synced (karaoke) lyrics as an alternative lyrics mode.
Backed by the public lyricsplus aggregator (Apple Music / Spotify /
Musixmatch / QQ Music) — no API keys on our side, subscription costs are
borne by the backend operator. Five mirrors are tried on network failure.
Settings → Lyrics now exposes a mode radio (Standard vs YouLyPlus) plus
a static-only toggle. YouLyPlus misses silently fall back to the existing
server + LRCLIB + Netease pipeline so obscure tracks still resolve. The
drag-to-reorder source list is hidden in YouLyPlus mode since the
external aggregator manages its own source priority.
Rendering: per-word spans on each line, active word highlighted with
accent-tinted glow. Subscribed imperatively via usePlayerStore.subscribe
so 500 ms progress ticks do not re-render the whole lyrics block. The
Fullscreen Player reuses the same pattern; the 5-line rail layout is
unchanged. white-space: pre on .fs-lyric-word preserves the trailing
spaces the API embeds in each syllabus token (flex context would
otherwise collapse them).
i18n: new keys in all 8 locales (de, en, fr, nl, nb, ru, es, zh).
── macOS mic-prompt suppression ──
Ships a vendored cpal 0.15.3 at patches/cpal-0.15.3/ wired via
[patch.crates-io]. The only change is in src/host/coreaudio/macos/mod.rs:
audio_unit_from_device now unconditionally uses IOType::DefaultOutput for
output streams instead of conditionally choosing HalOutput.
AUHAL (HalOutput) is classified as input-capable by macOS TCC and
triggers the microphone-permission dialog at first launch / after each
update even for playback-only apps. Previous attempts (removing
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription, setting com.apple.security.device.audio-input
false in Entitlements.plist) did not suppress the prompt because TCC
fires at AudioUnit instantiation, not at plist level. The upstream fix
in cpal PR #1070 / cpal 0.17 only helps when the pinned device equals
the system default; always-DefaultOutput covers all cases.
Tradeoff: per-device output selection is a no-op on macOS — the stream
always follows the system default. Settings.tsx surfaces this via
audioOutputDeviceMacNotice (hides the CustomSelect on macOS) and skips
audio_list_devices + device-watcher effects there. Matches the behaviour
of Apple Music / Spotify on macOS.
Also removes the now-obsolete com.apple.security.device.audio-input
entitlement (sandbox is disabled anyway, so it was ignored).

Netease is queried only when server and LRCLIB both return nothing,
preserving the existing lyrics chain completely. Off by default.
- Rust command `fetch_netease_lyrics` proxies Netease API (CORS bypass)
- `src/api/netease.ts` TypeScript wrapper via invoke
- `authStore.enableNeteaselyrics` toggle (default: false)
- `useLyrics`: Netease fires last in fallback chain when enabled
- Settings toggle in the Lyrics section
- `lyricsSourceNetease` label in LyricsPane
- i18n: all 7 languages (en, de, fr, nl, nb, ru, zh)

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
