πŸš€ Release v1.4.3

Lossless Engine Overhaul, Library Filters & Offline Artwork

This update brings a major rewrite to the high-fidelity audio engine, introduces powerful new ways to filter your library, adds persistent offline artwork, and refines playback stability.

🎧 High-Fidelity Audio Engine

The lossless (FLAC) streaming engine has been completely rebuilt for speed, reliability, and transparency.

  • Concurrent Search: The engine now searches up to four high-quality providers simultaneously (Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon, and newly added Deezer). It instantly plays the fastest successful stream, noticeably reducing load times.
  • Smart Fallbacks: Failures or rate limits are now handled per provider. If one service goes down, the app instantly falls back to the others without locking you out.
  • Custom Timeouts: You can now set independent lossless timeout limits for Wi-Fi, Cellular data, and Downloads directly in the Settings menu.
  • Stream Diagnostics: Curious about your audio quality? Tapping the source badge on the player screen now opens a "Stream Resolution Info" dialog, showing exactly how the audio was routed.
  • Provider Dashboard: A new inspection dialog in Settings lets you check the real-time online/offline status and cooldown timers of all lossless providers.

πŸ“š Library Organization & Filters

Finding your favorite content and keeping your library clean is now much easier.

  • Quick Filters: Easily navigate your collection using new filter chips at the top of the Library screen. Isolate Playlists, Albums, or Artists, and use the "Downloaded" toggle to instantly view your offline content.
  • Smarter Deduplication: We rebuilt the internal logic to better identify and merge duplicate entries across your local, offline, and remote sources. Your home screen, library, and "Saved In" menus will now stay perfectly organized without redundant playlists.
  • Rename Playlists: You can now effortlessly rename your custom local playlists directly from the playlist header.

πŸ’Ύ Offline Experience & Artwork

  • Offline Cover Art: Artwork for downloaded songs is now securely cached to your local device storage. Cover art will seamlessly display in the app and your system media notifications, even without an internet connection.
  • Canvas Optimization: Spotify Canvas videos are automatically disabled for downloaded tracks, ensuring high-quality static artwork displays instantly when offline.

🎡 Player UI & Gestures

  • Explicit Tags: Explicit badges (πŸ…΄) are now visible across the entire app (player, mini-player, queues, and lists). The audio search engine is also smarter, accurately prioritizing the correct clean or explicit version of a track.
  • Accurate Play States: Fixed synchronization issues between the audio engine and the UI so the play button never gets stuck. Play buttons on Albums and Playlists now strictly indicate if a song from that specific list is currently playing.
  • Gesture Fixes: Resolved an issue where the swipe-to-play-next gesture could accidentally trigger multiple times during a single swipe.

πŸ” App Experience & Search

  • Smoother Search: Tapping the search tab icon when you are already on the search page will now instantly focus the text box and open your keyboard. Using the system back gesture will cleanly clear your search and reset the view.
  • Fresh Branding: Updated the app's launcher icons, splash screen, and notification icons for a cleaner, modernized look with refined accent colors.
  • Status Bar Legibility: Enforced light status bar icons to ensure your device's time and battery indicators always remain visible against the dark interface.
