Psysonic v1.6.0

on GitHub

⚠️ Wichtiger Hinweis / Important Notice

DE: Der Bundle-Identifier der App wurde von dev.psysonic.app auf dev.psysonic.player geändert. Alle gespeicherten Einstellungen (Server-Profile, Theme, EQ, Sprache usw.) gehen beim Update auf diese Version einmalig verloren und müssen neu eingetragen werden. Zukünftige Updates sind davon nicht betroffen.

EN: The app's bundle identifier has changed from dev.psysonic.app to dev.psysonic.player. All saved settings (server profiles, theme, EQ, language, etc.) will be reset once when updating to this version and need to be re-entered. Future updates are not affected.

Added

Replay Gain

• Replay Gain support in the Rust audio engine. Gain and peak values from the Subsonic API are applied per-track at playback time, keeping loudness consistent across your library.
• Two modes selectable in Settings → Playback: Track (default) and Album gain.
• Peak limiting applied to prevent clipping: effective gain is capped at 1 / peak.
• Volume slider preserves the gain ratio — audio_set_volume multiplies base_volume × replay_gain_linear.

Crossfade

• Crossfade between tracks (0.5 – 12 s, configurable in Settings → Playback).
• Old sink is volume-ramped to zero in 30 steps while the new track starts playing; old sink stored in fading_out_sink so a subsequent skip cancels the fade-out immediately.
• audio_set_crossfade Tauri command; synced to Rust on startup and on toggle.

Gapless Preloading (Experimental — Alpha)

• Gapless playback: when ≤ 30 s remain in the current track, the next track's audio is preloaded via audio_preload in the background.
• audio_play checks the preload cache first — if there is a URL match the download is skipped entirely, eliminating the gap between tracks.
• The old Sink is kept alive during the new track's download and decode phase; the Sink swap happens atomically after decoding is complete, fixing a subtle start-of-track audio cut that occurred regardless of gapless state.
• ⚠️ This feature is experimental and still in active development. It may not work correctly in all scenarios. Enable it in Settings → Playback at your own discretion.

Settings — Tab Navigation

• Settings reorganised into 5 horizontal tabs: Playback, Library, Appearance, Server, About.
• Each tab groups related settings with a matching icon.

Artist Pages — "Also Featured On"

• Artist detail pages now show an "Also Featured On" section listing albums where the artist appears as a guest or featured performer (but is not the primary album artist).
• Implemented via search3 filtered by song.artistId, excluding the artist's own albums.

Download Folder Modal

• When no download folder is configured and the user initiates a download (album or track), a folder picker modal now appears asking where to save.
• Includes a "Remember this folder" checkbox that writes the choice to Settings.
• Clear button added in Settings → Server to reset the saved download folder.

Changelog in Settings

• The full Changelog is now readable inside the app under Settings → About.
• Rendered as collapsible version entries; the current version is expanded by default.
• Inline Markdown (**bold**, *italic*, `code`) is rendered natively.

EQ as Player Bar Popup

• The Equalizer is now accessible directly from the player bar via a small EQ button, opening as a centred popup overlay — no need to navigate to Settings.

Fixed

• Bundle identifier warning: changed identifier from dev.psysonic.app to dev.psysonic.player to avoid the macOS .app extension conflict warned by Tauri.
• Version mismatch in releases: tauri.conf.json version was out of sync with package.json and Cargo.toml, causing GitHub Actions to build release artefacts with the wrong version number. All four version sources (package.json, Cargo.toml, tauri.conf.json, packages/aur/PKGBUILD) are now kept in sync.

Known Issues

• FLAC seeking: jumping to a position in a FLAC file via the waveform seekbar currently does not work. Seeking in MP3, OGG, and other formats is unaffected.
