Files v0.1.9
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:andkind:match the start of a name:ext:webfinds .webp
and .webm,kind:vidfinds 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.
