* refactor(settings): promote Normalization and Track transitions to own Audio categories Pull Normalization and Track transitions out of the combined Playback section into their own top-level SettingsSubSection categories, placed directly under Audio Output Device. Both follow the established reusable pattern (SettingsSubSection header + title-less SettingsGroup inside a single-group settings-card, so the frame-collapse CSS applies). - New TrackTransitionsBlock extracted from PlaybackBehaviorBlock; the latter now holds only the Queue behaviour toggle (slated to move to Personalisation). - NormalizationBlock's SettingsGroup is now title-less; the section header and description name it. - Split the single audio search-index row into three (Normalization / Track transitions / Playback) so crossfade/replaygain/lufs keywords focus the right section. * refactor(settings): consolidate Queue Settings under Personalisation, drop Audio Playback section Combine Queue Display Mode and Queue Toolbar under one 'Queue Settings' category in the Personalisation tab, and move the Queue behaviour toggle (preservePlayNextOrder) there from Audio. The now-empty Audio Playback section is removed. - New 'Queue Settings' SettingsSubSection holds three titled groups: Queue Display Mode, Queue behaviour, and (advanced-only) Queue Toolbar. The toolbar group keeps its reset, now via a new optional 'action' slot on SettingsGroup (+ .settings-group-title-action CSS). - Delete PlaybackBehaviorBlock; its single toggle is inlined. - Search index: drop the audio 'playbackTitle' row; the personalisation queue row now points at 'queueSettingsTitle' with merged keywords. - i18n: add settings.queueSettingsTitle to all 9 locales. * fix(settings): align queue-toolbar separator label and restore Advanced badge - QueueToolbarCustomizer: the separator row rendered a 1px rule where other rows have a 16px icon, so its label sat shifted left. Reserve the full 16px icon column (1px rule centred) so the label lines up. (Preexisting.) - SettingsGroup gains an optional 'advanced' flag rendering the Advanced badge; badge + action now share a right-aligned title-end slot (.settings-group-title-end), so the badge sits just left of the reset button. Restores the Advanced indicator the Queue Toolbar lost when it moved from a SettingsSubSection into a group. * fix(audio): hide the output-device category on macOS instead of showing a notice Playback is pinned to the system default on macOS, so the picker showed a notice explaining it does nothing there. Gate the whole Audio Output Device category out on macOS (`!IS_MACOS` in AudioTab) and drop the now-dead notice branch + the `audioOutputDeviceMacNotice` string from all 9 locales. The device-probe hook already short-circuits on macOS, so no work is wasted. * refactor(settings): box the sidebar customizer groups consistently The sidebar display toggles sat as a bare div and looked unfinished. Box them in a SettingsGroup, with the nav-item drag list in a second group. Render the groups directly in the sub-section content (no settings-card wrapper) — matching the other Personalisation customizers, which use bare SettingsGroups. Also drop the settings-card around Queue Settings for the same reason, so every Personalisation section's boxes share one width and inset instead of the card-wrapped ones sitting narrower/indented. * docs(settings): changelog, what's new, and credits for the settings reorg (#1130) Fold the Audio/Personalisation reorganization into the existing 'Settings — consistent grouped layout' changelog entry (now #1126 + #1130) and the matching What's New highlight, and add a consolidated settings- refactor line to the contributor credits.

# What's New
|
||
|
||
User-facing release highlights for the in-app **What's New** screen. Maintainers refresh the
|
||
current line before promoting to `next` / `release`. Technical details and PR credits stay in
|
||
`CHANGELOG.md`.
|
||
|
||
Within each section, order by **user impact** (most noticeable first) — not PR merge order.
|
||
`CHANGELOG.md` keeps strict PR order inside Added / Changed / Fixed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## [1.49.0]
|
||
|
||
## Highlights
|
||
|
||
### AutoDJ — minimum pauses, maximum music
|
||
|
||
- New **AutoDJ** mode — a smart crossfade that blends tracks intelligently. Each transition is shaped to fit the music: awkward gaps fade away, handovers feel natural, and you spend less time in silence between songs. It's now its own choice in **Settings → Audio** and its own button in the queue toolbar, sitting alongside Crossfade and Gapless — pick one at a time. Off by default; classic **Crossfade** is unchanged.
|
||
|
||
### Playlist folders — your playlists, organised
|
||
|
||
- Folders on the **Playlists** page and in the sidebar keep long lists tidy — group by mood, occasion, or anything you like. Drag playlists in, rename and collapse folders, or choose **Move to folder** from the right-click menu. Switch back to a flat list whenever you prefer.
|
||
|
||
### Theme store — spot updates, pick your style
|
||
|
||
- Version numbers on store themes and ones you have installed make it obvious when an update is ready.
|
||
- Filter for **animated** or **static** themes only — less scrolling when you already know the look you want.
|
||
|
||
### Settings — tidier and easier to scan
|
||
|
||
- Settings are grouped into clear, labelled panels so related options sit together — less hunting around. The **Native Hi-Res Playback** option now explains in plain language what it actually does.
|
||
- **Normalization** and **Track transitions** are now their own sections under **Settings → Audio**, and the queue options (display mode, toolbar, and Play-Next order) are gathered into one **Queue Settings** group under **Personalisation**.
|
||
|
||
## Fixed
|
||
|
||
### Playback and audio
|
||
|
||
- **Opus/Ogg** tracks no longer fight the seekbar while they are still loading — scrub to where you want to be and keep listening.
|
||
|
||
### Player and playlists
|
||
|
||
- **Add to playlist** from the player bar adds the song you are hearing, not the whole album.
|
||
|
||
### Browse and library
|
||
|
||
- Albums sorted by artist now list each artist's work A–Z by title — no more random order within a name.
|
||
- **Artist → Year** keeps artists grouped but walks through their albums chronologically, oldest first.
|
||
|
||
### Windows
|
||
|
||
- **Windows:** Previous, Play/Pause, and Next are back when you hover the taskbar icon — and Play/Pause shows whether music is playing or paused.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## [1.48.1]
|
||
|
||
## Fixed
|
||
|
||
### Playback and audio
|
||
|
||
- Changing tracks — skipping, or the automatic advance at the end of a song — no longer freezes the interface for a few seconds: the progress bar and lyrics keep updating, and on **Windows** a change of output device now takes effect right away.
|
||
- Seeking an **Opus/Ogg** track — and then pressing **Stop** — no longer crashes the app.
|
||
- **macOS:** pausing or stopping playback and then unplugging headphones (or switching the output device) no longer makes playback restart — it stays paused or stopped.
|
||
|
||
### Offline, Now Playing, and Navidrome
|
||
|
||
- On large **Navidrome** libraries, background library sync no longer locks up database writes for minutes at a time, so play history, ratings, and other saves go through without long delays.
|
||
|
||
### Themes and integrations
|
||
|
||
- **Discord** Rich Presence shows the album cover again when a server profile has both a local and a public address.
|
||
|
||
### Other
|
||
|
||
- **Windows:** the system media controls (Quick Settings media tile, lock screen, and third-party flyouts) now show the album cover and display **Psysonic** with its icon instead of "Unknown application".
|
||
- **macOS:** closing the window with the red close button now respects **Minimize to Tray** — with it on, the window hides to the tray instead of quitting.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## [1.48.0]
|
||
|
||
## Highlights
|
||
|
||
### Offline listening
|
||
|
||
- When the server is unreachable, browse and detail pages show what you already have locally instead of empty errors — albums, artists, playlists, and cross-server favorites.
|
||
- Starred tracks, pinned albums, and playlists live under one **media** folder; browse them in **Offline Library** and see disk usage at a glance.
|
||
- **Favorites auto-sync** keeps loved songs on disk; pinned albums and playlists refresh when the library index updates.
|
||
|
||
### Music Network — scrobble beyond Last.fm
|
||
|
||
- **Settings → Integrations** now hosts a **Music Network**: connect **Last.fm**, **Libre.fm**, **ListenBrainz**, **Maloja**, **Rocksky**, **Koito**, or your own **GNU FM** instance — and scrobble to several at once.
|
||
- Pick a **primary** service for loved tracks, similar artists, and stats; other connections still receive scrobbles. Your existing Last.fm setup migrates automatically.
|
||
- A master switch turns the whole network on or off.
|
||
|
||
### Theme Store
|
||
|
||
- Browse and install community themes from **Settings → Themes** — search, dark/light filter, full-size previews, and sort by popularity or date.
|
||
- Six palettes ship with the app; everything else installs on demand and works offline after the first download.
|
||
- **Now Playing** follows every theme cleanly, including light palettes.
|
||
- Import a theme from a local `.zip` when you have a package from a friend or your own design.
|
||
- The sidebar nudges you when an installed theme has an update; one-click update from the theme card.
|
||
|
||
### Fullscreen player
|
||
|
||
- Rebuilt for much lower CPU and memory use: a calm, sharp fullscreen view with album art, waveform seekbar, up-next queue, synced lyrics, ratings, and a clock that follows your **Clock format** setting.
|
||
- The song title no longer shows a leading track number, and descenders (g, j, p, q, y) are no longer clipped.
|
||
|
||
### Live — richer now playing on Navidrome 0.62+
|
||
|
||
- On servers with OpenSubsonic **playbackReport** (Navidrome ≥ 0.62), **Live** shows who is playing or paused, how far into the track they are, and playback speed when another client sends it — with smooth position updates between refreshes.
|
||
- In **Who is listening?**, each listener shows a small status dot (playing, paused, or idle) instead of a vague “minutes ago” line.
|
||
|
||
### Queue — Timeline mode
|
||
|
||
- A third queue layout keeps the current track in the middle with history above and up next below — great for long listening sessions. Cycle the header control or pick it in **Settings → Personalisation → Queue display**.
|
||
|
||
### Settings → Servers
|
||
|
||
- Each card shows the server software and version (e.g. **Navidrome 0.62.0**) under the name, with a cleaner two-line layout and compact actions.
|
||
- Navidrome **0.62+** shows a green **AudioMuse-AI** badge when the plugin is detected — no manual toggle on current Navidrome.
|
||
|
||
### Sidebar — pin Now Playing to the top
|
||
|
||
- New **Settings → Sidebar** toggle moves **Now Playing** to the top of the sidebar instead of the bottom (off by default).
|
||
|
||
### Startup
|
||
|
||
- A themed loading splash appears while the app starts — colours follow your active theme, including community palettes.
|
||
|
||
## Improved
|
||
|
||
- Audio decoding runs on **Symphonia 0.6**; streams start sooner and recover from stalls without restarting the player.
|
||
- The **Preload Next Track** toggle under **Settings → Storage → Buffering** is gone — playback no longer waits on that extra RAM prefetch. Gapless, crossfade, and Hot Cache behave as before.
|
||
- New **Semitones** playback-speed strategy (±12 st, 0.1 step) with two-decimal speed readout; optional fine steps in **Settings → Audio → Advanced**.
|
||
|
||
## Fixed
|
||
|
||
### Playback and audio
|
||
|
||
- **Windows:** the app no longer keeps the audio device open while idle, so the system can sleep when music is not playing.
|
||
- **macOS:** steady playback stutter from background device polling is gone on the default output path.
|
||
- After a long pause, the seekbar shows the saved position immediately and the next **Play** resumes without an audible blip at track start.
|
||
- **Stop** keeps the real waveform on the seekbar instead of falling back to flat bars.
|
||
|
||
### Offline, Now Playing, and Navidrome
|
||
|
||
- Now Playing cards (**from this album**, discography, most played) stay populated during cached and offline playback instead of blanking out on track change.
|
||
- Navidrome **Show in Now Playing** and play-count scrobbles work when audio plays from hot cache, offline pins, or auto-synced favorites.
|
||
- Mixed-server queues still report to the correct Navidrome server.
|
||
|
||
### Themes and integrations
|
||
|
||
- Self-hosted Music Network targets (Koito, Maloja, custom GNU FM with a pasted token) scrobble again — reconnect once if you connected before this fix.
|
||
- Favoriting from the player bar, fullscreen player, or shortcuts updates the star in track lists and playlists immediately.
|
||
- Discord Rich Presence shows album art again when covers come from the server.
|
||
- Focus rings and dropdown borders follow the active theme consistently.
|
||
|
||
### Browse and library
|
||
|
||
- Tracks tagged with several genres in one field (e.g. `Metal/Ambient/Experimental`) match **each genre** again in browse, filters, and search.
|
||
- **All Albums → Only compilations** returns results for common tagging patterns.
|
||
- Album grids show the album artist on compilations instead of a random track artist.
|
||
- Song rails (**Random Picks**, **Discover Songs**, etc.) link each name in multi-artist credits separately.
|
||
- **Artist → Top Tracks** play works even when the artist page has no albums loaded yet.
|
||
- **Home → Most Played** no longer jumps the page when you load more albums.
|
||
- **Mainstage** hero backdrop stays in sync when you skip albums quickly.
|
||
|
||
### Other
|
||
|
||
- **Linux:** the `curl | bash` auto-installer works again.
|
||
- **Linux:** internet radio no longer appears twice in the desktop now-playing overlay.
|
||
- On Navidrome **0.62+**, add/edit/delete radio stations is shown only to admin accounts; everyone can still play and favourite stations.
|
||
- **Linux custom title bar:** pick window button styles (dots, flat, pill, and more) and optionally hide minimize in **Settings → Appearance**.
|
||
- The active server card under **Settings → Servers** draws a complete border on all sides.
|
||
|
||
## Under the hood
|
||
|
||
- Navidrome **0.62+** auto-detects **AudioMuse-AI** and routes Instant Mix / Lucky Mix through the smarter API when the plugin is present — older Navidrome keeps the manual toggle you already know.
