1.4.6

  • Battery: Tidal's and Baidu's streaming helpers no longer check for work in the background. Baidu's never runs. Tidal's starts when you open its page in Streaming and stops at Stop Streaming Services, so a Q2 that isn't streaming never wakes them.
  • iPod: Accent now works in the Minimal theme too. Minimal's own off-white is its first choice and stays the default, so Minimal looks the same until you pick another; any other accent colours Minimal's selection, progress bar and switches. Each theme remembers its own accent, and Classic keeps its Graphite default.
  • iPod: the selection bar is a pill, inset from the screen's edges, so the rounded glass no longer cuts off its corners. In Classic and Minimal alike; album grids keep their rounded squares.
  • iPod: two new accents, Tangerine and Plum, after the orange and purple Q2.
  • iPod: Now Playing's heart and shuffle/repeat icons line up with the bottom of the album art again, on Internet Radio too; since 1.4.5 they sat higher.
  • iPod: on Now Playing's lyrics page the wheel scrolls the lyrics smoothly, following your finger a pixel at a time, instead of jumping a line per click. A turn still moves them as far as before, and Wheel Sensitivity still sets how far. When you lift your finger they settle on the nearest whole line, so the top line is never cut in half. When the song reaches the next line, the lyrics glide to it.
  • iPod: lyrics you scroll, with the wheel or a finger, stay where you left them instead of jumping back to the playing line after 3 seconds, and the progress bar and times keep going meanwhile. Swipe to another page and back and they follow the song again. The next song's lyrics start at the top.
  • iPod: Now Playing's lyrics no longer lose a sliver of their first or last letter when a line fills the width, as an f or a y ending the line did.
  • Streaming: an app's page can always stop it. When Deezer, Soulseek or File Browser doesn't answer, its page offers Stop Soulseek (or Deezer, File Browser) beside Retry, as does a page still loading after 3 s, and it ends the app even when it's frozen. Retry on "Soulseek isn't running" while the app still runs, its link to the Q2 lost, restarts it instead of asking again in vain.
  • Streaming: an app installed from System settings → Apps (Deezer, Soulseek, File Browser) shows its own icon again, instead of the shared square one, when it ships an icon.png (Legacy) or icon-40.png (iPod). In the Minimal theme the icon turns grey like Streaming's other icons; Classic keeps its colours.
  • Lyrics: Download Album Lyrics, under Download Cover & Lyrics in Now Playing's ⋯ menu, saves synced lyrics from LRCLIB beside every song of the playing album, found the same way Download Cover & Lyrics finds them for one song. Songs that already have a .lrc file are left alone, a song LRCLIB lacks is skipped, and the row shows how far it has got; press it again to cancel. It carries on if you leave the menu, and stops for USB storage.
  • Lyrics: Download Cover & Lyrics only asks LRCLIB now. Kugou's search, which often came back with another song's lyrics (Chinese lyrics for a song LRCLIB lacks), is gone, and so is NetEase's, which no longer finds anything. A song LRCLIB doesn't have gets no lyrics.
  • Lyrics: a song LRCLIB lists without accents is found under its accented name too: with nothing found, the search tries again with the accents taken off (ł, ø, ß and æ too), as for "Hataałii", which LRCLIB has as "Hataalii". When LRCLIB is busy, the search waits 2 seconds and asks again, up to three times.
  • Lyrics: Download Cover & Lyrics saves the lyrics you accept as a .lrc file in the song's own folder, as Download Album Lyrics does, instead of the card's hidden .downpic folder. An older copy of that song's lyrics in .downpic, which the player showed before the one beside the song, is removed once the new one is saved.
