* fix(preview): sync audio start, ring animation, and download timeout Three coupled fixes for the track-preview engine: 1. Audio sync. `Sink::try_seek` was running on a worker thread after `sink.append(source)`, so the sink began playing position 0 while the seek was still iterating to the mid-track target. With the 30 s `take_duration` cap counting wall-clock from append, audio could only become audible ~25% into the preview window. The seek now runs on the bare source before append, then `take_duration` wraps it — playback starts at the seek position with the cap measured from there. 2. Ring animation gating. The CSS progress-ring animation was bound to `is-previewing` (set on click), so the ring sprinted ahead of any download/decode/seek warmup and didn't reset cleanly when switching from one preview to another. Added an `audioStarted` flag in `previewStore` that flips on `audio:preview-start` from the engine; CSS animation is now gated on `audio-started` instead. `is-previewing` still drives tooltip/icon for instant click feedback. Same SVG is reused for a 25%-arc rotating loading spinner while waiting for audio, with a 150 ms delay so cached/short previews don't flash. 3. Download timeout. The shared `audio_http_client` caps at 30 s, which aborts mid-download on multi-hundred-MB uncompressed files (e.g. 18-min Hi-Res WAV ~600 MB). The preview engine now builds a dedicated client with a 5 min timeout for the bytes fetch. Watchdog still bounds the playback window at 30 s once the audio actually starts. Touches `audio/preview.rs`, `previewStore.ts`, `components.css` plus the eight tracklist/player-bar components that render the preview button.

Psysonic
The Ultimate Desktop Client for Self-Hosted Music Libraries
Fast. Beautiful. Native. Feature-packed. Built primarily for Navidrome. Also compatible with Gonic, Airsonic, LMS and other Subsonic-compatible servers with partial feature support.
No telemetry • Native performance • Massive feature set • Community driven
Warning
Psysonic is under heavy active development. Bugs and rough edges are to be expected. We reserve the right to change, remove, or rework existing features at any time without prior notice.
Server Compatibility
Psysonic is optimized first and foremost for Navidrome.
Many advanced functions integrate directly with Navidrome APIs for the best possible experience. Other Subsonic-compatible servers generally work well, but some features may be limited depending on server capabilities.
Why Psysonic?
Most Subsonic clients feel like web wrappers.
Psysonic does not.
It is a true desktop experience built with Rust, Tauri v2, and React for users who care about speed, aesthetics, customization, and serious music library management.
If you host your own music, this is what the premium experience should feel like.
