* feat(playlists): suggestion-row preview UX (30s preview, double-click play-next, scroll keep)
Reworks the interaction on the suggestion rows below a playlist so users
can audition songs before deciding what to do with them.
- New "Preview" pill button left of each track title plays a 30-second
mid-song sample via a parallel HTML5 audio element. The main player
pauses on the first preview and auto-resumes when the preview ends.
Switching previews chains without re-resuming. External main-player
playback (spacebar, mediakey) cancels the preview without resuming.
Animated underline shows the 30 s progress.
- Double-click the row to insert the song at queueIndex + 1 and skip to
it ("Play next"). Single-click is intentionally inert so a stray click
next to the preview button no longer drops a song into the queue by
accident. Tooltip on the row makes the affordance discoverable.
- The + button still adds to the playlist, and now restores the
.main-content scroll position so the page no longer jumps to the top
after pressing it.
- i18n keys in all 8 locales: playlists.preview / previewStop / previewShort
/ previewStopShort / suggestionDoubleClickPlayNext.

* fix(playlists): WebKitGTK NULL-instance crash on preview teardown
cucadmuh hit GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: invalid (NULL) pointer instance /
g_signal_connect_data assertion failed, with the UI freezing after
clicking a preview button. Root cause was the audio-element lifecycle:
- `audio.src = ''` to "stop" leaves WebKitGTK's GStreamer playbin in a
half-initialized state. The next signal_connect dereferences NULL.
- Creating `new Audio()` per click stacked half-torn-down playbins
during rapid switches.
- `loadedmetadata` listeners on orphaned audio elements could call
play() on an already-discarded instance.
Fix: reuse one <audio> element per component, tear down the source
via removeAttribute('src') + load() (which resets the playbin
cleanly), and gate async listeners behind a session counter so stale
metadata events on switched-away previews are ignored.

* feat(playlists): icon-based action buttons + add-on-doubleclick + hint
- Replace text-pill Preview button with circular icon button + animated
SVG progress ring (Play/Square icon swap when active).
- New Play-next button (filled accent circle, white triangle) sits
left of the Preview button — explicit affordance for the action that
used to be a hidden double-click.
- Double-click on a suggestion row now triggers Add-to-playlist (the
same action as the + button on the right) — discoverable shortcut
for mouse users.
- Subtitle under the Suggested Songs header announces the add-on-
doubleclick affordance, in all 8 locales.
- Drop the now-obsolete previewShort / previewStopShort short-label
keys (text replaced by icons); rename suggestionDoubleClickPlayNext
→ playNextSuggestion to match its new role on the Play-next button.
- Keep the session-counter guard from the prior commit so async
loadedmetadata handlers from a switched-away preview can't play()
on a discarded element.
Note: header column labels visually drift from the data columns when
suggestion rows have the action buttons; left as-is for now.

* fix(playlists): apply LUFS pre-analysis attenuation to suggestion previews
When the main player is on loudness normalization, analysed tracks come
out reduced toward target while the unanalysed preview <audio> blasts
the file at its natural level — cucadmuh reported the previews are
audibly louder than the playlist playback.
Apply the user's stored pre-analysis attenuation (the slider value, not
the target-offset effective form) as a linear gain on the preview's
audio.volume. Default −4.5 dB lands the preview at ~60% of the player
volume, which roughly tracks how aggressively the Rust engine pulls
naturally-loud tracks toward target.
If the engine is off, behavior is unchanged.

* style(playlists): use chevron icon for suggestion preview button
Distinguishes the preview button from the adjacent play-next button
by mirroring the Play Next chevron from the context menu.

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.
