1.9.5 (2026-10-19)

🩹 What's new in v1.9.5

Lyrics and playlist files saved in encodings other than UTF-8 now open correctly.


🎤 Lyrics

  • Lyrics files in encodings other than UTF-8 now show up. A .lrc or .txt next to a track was read as UTF-8 only, so lyrics saved as GB18030 (common with Chinese Windows tools), Big5, Shift_JIS, EUC-KR or an older Windows code page were silently skipped. WaveFlow now detects the file's encoding and reads it, for lyrics found next to the track as well as for Import an LRC file. Tracks that already showed "no lyrics" pick up their lyrics file the next time you open them, with nothing to clear. (#917, closes #910)

📚 Library

  • Legacy-encoded .m3u playlists now import correctly. A .m3u saved in a Chinese, Japanese or Korean encoding gave paths that matched nothing in the library. It is now decoded the same way as a lyrics file. (#917)

📦 Recommended install

Use your platform's package manager when one is available, so updates keep flowing through the tool you already use.

Windows

winget install InstaZDLL.WaveFlow

Arch / Manjaro / EndeavourOS / CachyOS

yay -S waveflow-bin
# or: paru -S waveflow-bin

Fedora / RHEL / Rocky / Alma / CentOS Stream

sudo dnf copr enable instazdll/waveflow
sudo dnf install waveflow

Debian / Ubuntu / Mint / Pop!_OS

The Debian package is wave-flow (kebab-case, required by the Debian naming spec — Tauri bundles it that way from the WaveFlow product name).

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://packages.buildkite.com/instazdll/waveflow/gpgkey \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/waveflow.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/waveflow.gpg] https://packages.buildkite.com/instazdll/waveflow/any/ any main" \
  | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/waveflow.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install wave-flow

macOS

No Homebrew cask yet — grab the .dmg below. The bundle isn't Apple-signed, so right-click → Open the first time, or run xattr -cr /Applications/WaveFlow.app to clear the quarantine flag.

Standalone download

Everything is also available as a raw bundle below — .AppImage, .deb, .rpm, .exe, .msi, .dmg.


Thanks to @GoEverLo for the report and the sample files, and keep the feedback coming. 💚
