Stash gets add-ons: a page that shows where your songs come from, in an order you choose. Play everything at any pitch. Short clips are never saved as the song again. Lots of fixes for FLAC, crossfade, autoplay and downloads.
What's new
- Add-ons. Settings → Add-ons lists where songs come from, in the order Stash asks: your Qobuz account (when one is connected), Tidal, and each add-on. Every row has a switch, and you can drag the rows into the order you want, once, for playing and for downloading. Each add-on says Official or Not made by Stash, with the address it runs on.
- Add from a link. Add an add-on by pasting its link, sharing the link to Stash from another app, or scanning a code. Stash shows its name, where it runs, what Stash will use from it and where it lands in your order. Nothing is added before you tap Add. An add-on Stash doesn't run asks first, and says what its server will see: the songs you play and save, and your internet address.
- Add-on streams are checked before they play. A stream that isn't the song it claims to be is refused and the next source is asked.
- Tuning. In Settings → Audio & Quality → Output → Tuning, pick any concert pitch from 392 to 494 Hz and everything Stash plays is retuned to it at the same speed. A = 432 Hz is one tap. There's a Tuning row in Now Playing's Playback speed sheet too.
- Autoplay radio is on by default. When a song or album ends, a radio follows it. If you already set the switch in Settings → Playback → Autoplay radio, your choice stays. With mobile data and streaming on cellular off, no station starts.
- Edit Home. Home now ends with an Edit Home button that opens the page where you reorder and hide sections.
- Search in Save to playlist. The sheet has a search box, so a long list of playlists is quick to get through.
- Songs you download yourself stay. A download you start from Now Playing, a menu, an album, an artist or a playlist joins Your Downloads and is kept until you remove it. Before, a sync in Refresh mode could delete it after you cleared download history.
- Stash is smaller again. The download goes from 94 MB to 73 MB.
UX polish
- Sync → Downloads has the Online/Offline chip on its title row, so you can switch mode without leaving the screen.
- Daily Discover's Your record is a small toggle on the page instead of a wide switch row with a sentence.
- Stream via YouTube is gone from Settings. People who left it on were losing FLAC without knowing; if you had it on, lossless is back.
- Tapping any Stash notification opens Stash.
- FLAC upgrades start with your newest songs.
- Artist pages keep Qobuz CD singles out of the Albums row.
- Settings → Library & Storage opens without stutter on big libraries, moving or reorganizing a library on an SD card is faster, and downloads fetch the cover while the song downloads. Thanks @nogaemer.
- More of Home, Settings and Sync can be translated. Thanks @ParaliyzedEvo.
Bug fixes
- 30-second clips are never saved as the song. A download that turns out to be a short preview is thrown away and the next source is tried. Once after this update, Stash checks the FLACs you already have and downloads again any that hold only a clip. Your own files are never touched.
- FLAC when Tidal is busy. A busy minute no longer drops the rest of an album to Opus for hours: the next song waits a few seconds for its FLAC, and a fallback is used for that one play only. Downloads pick up again on their own after a busy answer instead of pausing for five minutes.
- Crossfade: the next song no longer starts over when the old one ends, and songs streamed from Tidal fade in again instead of cutting.
- Autoplay radio adds its station after the last song and never takes a song out of your queue.
- Your YouTube search history stays yours. With YouTube connected, Stash's song lookups no longer show up in the YouTube app's search bar.
- Soundtrack songs with titles like "Song - (Film)" find their FLAC again.
- Downloads → Clear queue stops the attempt, and a playlist can download those songs again. Before, the playlist said Downloaded with most songs missing.
- Lyrics: KuGou's "pure music, please enjoy" note is no longer shown as the lyrics of an instrumental.
- Word-synced lyrics from Spicy Lyrics are found for more songs that didn't come from Spotify. Thanks @ParaliyzedEvo.
- Now Playing no longer crashes when a song changes with Full art open and no art loaded. Thanks @ParaliyzedEvo.
