Music (new extension, experimental)

A Music tab and a MUSIC entry in the sidebar.

  • Your library: the audio files in your music folders (Settings →
    Extensions → Music), with tags, covers, search and a queue. Right-click
    an audio file → Play in Music (its folder becomes the queue) or Add to
    Queue.
  • Spotify: sign in in the browser; Liked Songs, playlists, search.
    The music plays in the Spotify app (Premium) and Files controls it, as
    Spotify requires.
  • Yandex Music (unofficial API): sign in with a token; «Мне нравится»,
    playlists, search, and «Моя волна», the personal radio that plays
    endlessly and learns from plays and skips. Tracks play in Files.
  • Right-click a track: Play Next, Add to Queue, Show in Files; for
    Spotify and Yandex Music also Like, Remove from Liked, Add to Playlist,
    Go to Artist and Artist Radio; Yandex Music also Dislike and Download
    (an MP3 with tags, into Downloads). Spotify offers the artist's top
    tracks instead of radio, which it closed to apps.
  • Sound: volume and a 10-band equalizer with presets (Rock, Pop,
    Classical…), kept for every track and for previews.
  • Media keys: the keyboard's play/next keys, headphone buttons and the
    system's Now Playing (macOS Control Center, the Windows media flyout,
    MPRIS on Linux) control Music, with the title and cover.
  • The THIS COMPUTER, SPOTIFY and YANDEX MUSIC groups fold and unfold.

Previews

  • Quick Look (Space) on a song plays it, with its cover and tags.

Search

  • music: in global search (⌘K) finds tracks in the library, Spotify and
    Yandex Music, and plays the one you pick.
  • ext: and kind: match the start of a name: ext:web finds .webp
    and .webm, kind:vid finds videos.

Tabs

  • Drag a tab to move it (pinned tabs stay in front).
  • The tab menu shows its shortcuts: Close ⌘W, Close Other Tabs ⌥⌘W; the
    rest can be set in Settings → Hotkeys. Its items can be colored in
    Settings → Appearance.

Fixes

  • Memory: lists and grids show small copies of pictures instead of
    decoding every photo full size, and a folder's pictures are freed when
    you leave it. Long sessions in photo folders no longer grow to gigabytes.
  • Opening a file from search scrolls to it, also in folders with hundreds
    of items.
  • The Music track list stays smooth with thousands of tracks, and rows
    span the whole list.
