A release candidate for 0.4.0. Everything below is in. The macOS build is not notarized yet, so the first-open steps on the download page still apply; clear the quarantine flag with xattr -dr, not -d, on macOS 26. Please try it and say what breaks. 0.4.0 follows once it has settled.
New
-
The Winamp mini player by @crmne. Ctrl+M (Cmd+Shift+M on macOS), the shrink button beside the settings gear, or Settings turns Fastpotify into a small player that wears classic Winamp 2 skins: drop a
.wszon the window, or pick one in Settings. It ships with a skin of its own in the app's colours. The display has the spectrum analyser and the oscilloscope in the skin's colours, the playlist window hangs under the player (it scrolls, resizes, and rolls up), the equalizer comes with Winamp's presets, balance and mono, and all three windows have their shade mode. The window is drawn at whole pixels, 1x to 4x, can stay on top, and skins that are not rectangles keep their shape.
-
Right-to-left text reads the right way. Arabic and Hebrew titles, lyrics, descriptions, the search field, podcasts, and the sidebar are in reading order, wrapped lines included. Thanks @zHeuzy2 for the fix (#51) and @Alimedhat000 for the report and the checking (#37).
-
macOS keeps its Dock icon after Cmd+W, and clicking it, or the app's name in a launcher, brings the window back. Thanks @marijnbent. (#67)
-
The output follows the system's default device while music plays on this computer, on Windows and macOS: plug in headphones, connect a speaker, or pick another device in the sound settings and playback moves there. Linux already had this from PipeWire. (#64)
-
Playback picks up where it stopped after a reconnect by @crmne. When the session to Spotify drops mid-song, the song comes back at the same spot on the new session, playing or paused as it was, instead of leaving silence. (#25)
-
A Free account is told once that Spotify only lets Premium accounts play through another app, on this computer or on any other device, rather than getting a toast on every press. (#69)
Fixed
- Cards with a two-line subtitle no longer paint the second line past the card's edge. Thanks @hewel. (#70)
- Local playback no longer pins Spotify's access point to port 443, which some networks refuse; the resolver's own order applies. Thanks @hewel. (#71)
- Typing
?in a text field no longer opens the shortcuts dialog. Thanks @mikenoired. (#66) - Playlist descriptions show
/instead of/. Thanks @mikenoired. (#65) - The macOS instructions clear the quarantine flag from the whole bundle, which macOS 26 needs before the app will start. Thanks @conscientiousness. (#68)
Thanks
@zHeuzy2, @hewel, @marijnbent, @mikenoired, @Alimedhat000, @ThrowTop, @McMac, @conscientiousness, @luinbytes, and @danielbuhman.
