This release brings bug fixes and two smoking new features that give the UI a new look. No need to worry if you don't like them; these two features are not displayed by default.

Background art skin

This styles the background using current album art, you can toggle strength and blur in settings.

Note that enabling this increases resource use so you may want to leave it disabled on low power systems.

Artist list

The left side panel can now be switched to show a list of artists from current playlist in alphabetical order. To switch, right click the top corner panel button.

How it works:

  • Click an artist to locate their first appearance in the playlist
    • Double click to play
  • A right click context menu allows you to filter matching tracks to a new playlist
  • Currently playing artist will be located in list when using Go To Playing
  • With cursor over the artist list, pressing a letter on the keyboard will jump to corresponding alphabetical position

This list can take a while to populate with thumbnails, but should fill after a while with general use.

Other new features

  • There is now a setting to automatically apply Sort by Filepath and Sort Year per Artist to playlists on track imports.
  • Single tracks can now be transcoded at a time by holding Shift and clicking Transcode Single.
  • There is now a setting to transcodede files inplace instead of keeping in a new folder. (Use with caution. Remember to have backups of important data.)
  • Added new bugs to discover and report.
