Hey, Taiko2k here. I'm super excited to bring you the latest major version of Tauon Music Box.
This new version, 6.0.0, brings 3 cool new features!
New feature: Bandcamp artist search
A convenient new quick search has been added. This feature will directly open an artists Bandcamp page if a match is found.
New feature: Transcode and Sync
This feature provides functionality of copying transcoded albums to a mounted location. This makes it a lot easier to maintain a subset of your library on your portable music player.
The way this is intended to work is you maintain a playlist of all the albums you want on your device. Then you can add and remove items and only the difference needs to be copied.
For a tutorial on how to use this feature, see here.
New feature: Playback control for Spotify
Tauon Music Box how has Spotify integration features! You can now:
- Paste Spotify URL's directly into the tracklist.
- Remote control a Spotify session.
- Import your account library and liked tracks.
- Search and import albums and artists.
For this, you will need a Spotify premium account and API key. You will also need the official Spotify desktop client installed and running (or use the web player)
For an in-depth tutorial on getting started, see here.
This is an experimental feature, let me know what you think.
Other changes:
- Added new theme selector in settings.
- Added a setting to chart generator to automatically sort a playlist by most played.
- Improved network accounts setup to no longer need manual editing of the config file.
- Added pt-BR translation (thanks @msmafra)
- Various other improvements and bug fixes.
Let me know what you think! Feel free to raise any issues if you encounter any.
