v1.0.3: The "Polished & Connected" Update

This release marks a significant milestone in UI/UX maturity and feature expansion. We've focused heavily on bridging the gap between platform aesthetics (Apple Music/Spotify inspirations), enhancing social connectivity (Comments, Sharing), and solidifying the "Super App" music experience with seamless integrations.

Key Features

• Spotify Playlist Import: Migrated from closed beta. Users can now seamlessly import playlists directly from Spotify with detailed success/failure reporting.
• Enhanced HQ Audio Integration:
  • Full-fledged integration for Home Sections, Charts, and Trending data.
  • Comprehensive Search support (Artists, Albums, Playlists).
  • Synced Lyrics (via LRCLib) for all supported tracks.
  • Note: HQ Audio streaming is now gated behind Developer Mode for compliance.
• Dynamic Island & MiniPlayer:
  • Added a fully interactive, floating "Dynamic Island" overlay with seekbar controls.
  • Redesigned in-app MiniPlayer with a modern, floating card aesthetic (Spotify-inspired) and swipe gestures.

  • Implemented "Glass" material design for dialogs (Update, Developer Access).
  • Added press animations to player controls and polished volume sliders.
  • Introduced pull-to-refresh interactions across Home and Library screens.
• Theme & Customization:
  • Light Mode Support: Comprehensive light theme rollout across Player, Album, Lyrics, and Settings screens.
